O/T: I'm A Furmommy!!!

[RavensChick]

Hi, fellow KOEB'ers!

Just wanted to let you know I'm now the proud mom of an adorable kitten named Raven! My neighbor's cat had a litter of 3, and Raven turned out to be the runt, but he's cute as a button! I've had him since Sunday, and so far he's adjusting to his new family. It was a little hard at first (he loves to hide and he's a biter and he plays a lot), but he's getting better at it. I took him to the vet yesterday for a checkup, and he's in great health for being just 8 weeks old. He didn't even fuss when he got his shots (which really surprised me), but he's one pound so far, and that concerns me a little bit. He will eat but not too much. I only hope you can see the photos I'm posting, but here is Raven making his Internet debut!!






I know you're gonna love him just as much as I do, so enjoy the pics 'cause they'll be more to come!!

I'll say this about Raven--he's got a lot of his daddy in him because he loves to scratch and jump all over me.

3. Aw, he's a cutie!!

try feeding him wet food...if he doesn't eat that, try baby food. stinks to high heaven, but apparently cats won't eat something they can't smell.

8. Thanks, Wolvie!

I bought some wet food earlier today so I'll see how he does. Besides, he loves Temptations treats (the tuna is his favorite so far), and I had to use that to coax him out of a bunch of boxes in my dining room where he was hiding the other night.

I know already about the price of cat food. Before I left Pet Smart on Monday, I saw the prices on some of the brands and I was stunned. Who on earth would pay 1.50 for a small can from a company I never even heard of? Highway robbery was the first thing that came to mind, so I'll stick to a brand I can trust.

4. Eeeeeeeeeeeee!

9. Thanks, Pats!

Yes, he's a cutie and already I got lovely compliments when I was on my way to the vet. 2 nurses from a nearby clinic saw me with him in the carrier and they went gaga almost immediately! I have a feeling he's gonna get more cute as he gets older so I'm gonna enjoy every second of it!

10. Thanks, SG!

He's already purring when I pick him up so that's a great sign!

11. Congrats, RC!

He looks adorable, and you're actually better off getting the runt rather than "the brunt." Yes, I love Bella, like I loved my previous "brunt," but they are very, VERY bossy. Runts are just sweet. :-)

13. Thanks, Berry!

He's sweet and very active! He's eating a bit more and that's a great sign! I have to invest in more scratching posts, tho'.

14. Thanks, Ralps!

When I take some more pictures (if I can get him to stay still long enough), one look at his eyes and you'll melt! :-)
