My horse trainer found a bunch of little kittens. They're all males, about 9 weeks old and mitten pawed.

Other than the over excitement of getting a new kitty. I've been going through and kitten proofing my cage. Closet shelves for the lid and overlapping grids on the sides. I already have the supplies to kitty proof my cage. But I am wondering if I should do it now, or wait until the kitten is home and observe his interest in the pigs. I've already taken 2 weeks off work for vacation, to help the kitten settle into our home and to monitor his behavior around the dog/pigs. We are aiming for a cuddly and chill-ax kitten. But we ultimately will get who picks us.

I am super excited and nervous at the same time.

Congrats on getting a cat! Im not experienced in cats by any means, but you might wanna play it safe and kitty-proof now. Say you do have a DID YOU GET AN OOVOO YET kitty but you step out of the room and he's already attempting to see the pigs and climb on the cage. You MUST post pictures and tell us the name as soon as you have one picked out! :)

You know I couldn't withhold all the cuteness to myself. I'll certainly share him when we pick him out.

Haha!
I thought you were giving a situation like I was asking the kitty if he was settled in and then he decided to do something with my back turn. Lol

I think I just thought of the perfect name for a cuddly and playful tabby kitten. Oliver! From the movie Oliver and Company. It just seems so perfect.

I rewatched it this morning. I now realize how sad it was to see Oliver at the beginning. All alone and hungry. Yet he faced everyday with hope and a smile.

Just brought him home
Poor baby is terrified. It was to be expected. He went from a home with his brothers to being by himself and meeting a dog.
I put him in a little pin with his crate, some food, water and a little litter pan.

He's coming out of his shell more. Still slightly scared. But he's much more relaxer than when we got home. I'll be keeping him in the pin for his safety. He'll need a bit to adjust and get used to everything. Right now everything that scares him sends him straight to hiding.

He's super cuddly, playful and very curious about Emma the pug.

Pictures!!!
