Tis The Season...for kittens

So as the spring season comes around, so do baby kittens to our animal hospital. People bring one, sometimes, several in at a time and say they found them anywhere from their ceiling to their trash can. Most times I think people should leave them so that their mom, who is probably off relocating the other siblings, can come back and pick these ones up. Kittens are always better off with their mom...but then again, being the person that I am, if I saw a cute baby boy kitten on the sidewalk I would bring him in too. THIS is what happened to my latest 4 legged house guest. He (who has been named Monkey) was found by a little boy outside of his house on the sidewalk. He is alot older than the kittens we usually get - we figure he is about 3-4 weeks old. I volunteered to "foster" him...haha. Usually after taking turns fostering other cats in the past I have been all to happy to see them go to good homes. Monkey, however, is kind of growing on me...quickly. He stares right into my eyes and looks at me like I'm his mom...I guess I do feed him, so...maybe I just need a real baby!?!?! Our house is turning into a ZOO! Anyway, I adore him, so we will see what happens. I promised my family I would post pictures so enjoy.

This is our first day with him (Saturday)


These are from yesterday


He fell asleep in my lap after his bottle




I took this video of him walking (running) around ... if you look closely in the background you can almost see my dogs drooling...
