I am just about 12 weeks old now, and I weigh just over 3 pounds. This is my story as I remember it....
The first thing I remember is waking up in a garbage can crying. I don't know what happened to my family, did I even have a family? This nice lady walking by found me and brought me to an emergency vet, thinking that I was just dumped. She could not keep me, but she could not just leave me there either. The nice ladies at the emergency vet took good care of me, but they noticed that I walked funny. They took some pictures of my leg and realized that I had broken it. The vet clinic did all they could for me for me, then set about finding me a fur-ever home.
That's where my new mommy comes in. She is friends with one of the ladies at the vet clinic. When she realized that a week had gone by and nobody was interested in me, she called to see if she could adopt me. Lucky Me! I was still available, so she drove down 2 hours to where I was. It was love at first sight for both of us. The minute I saw her, I started purring my heart out. I did not like the ride home at all! There was construction all over and the bouncing of the car hurt my leg. Fortunately, I had just gotten a shot for pain the day before, which lasts up to 3 days.
We finally got home, mommy made a nice nest for me in a crate. I have my own baby litterbox, adorable little water bowl and FOOD! You know us kittens are always hungry! I wanted to get out and tear around the room and explore! That's what us kittens do, we explore and play! Mommy was strict about that though, no playing, strict crate rest until we see our vet.
I did get to meet my older brother. At first I was a little scared, he is so much larger than I am, but he said, "hey, kid, I'll take care of you and show you the ropes here." His name is Cody Coyote, and he is a beautiful Seal Point Ragdoll. He loves me! He told me so when he was washing my face and ears.He watches over me to make sure that I don't try to do too much during my short breaks from crate rest. We play with our mouse, or he just snuggles up with me. I wish mommy would let him sleep with me at night, but she's afraid he would roll over and hurt me.
This is me during one of my breaks that I am allowed out of my crate. I could not walk very good, so I layed on the blanket and played with my mouse.
This is my big brother Cody Coyote, isn't he handsome? He is always looking out for me, making sure the other cats and dogs do not play too rough.
Mommy said that we could play for a little while, because Cody is so gentle with me. We played with our mouse, and I loved every minute of it. My brother was so sweet. When I wanted the mouse, he would just back up a little so I could get it. I love my big bro!
I have more brothers and sisters, but mommy says I have to get better before I can play with them. What is a kitten to do? All I want to do is play, play, play!
I'm getting tired now, I have been up for a while. I think I will go check out my food bowl then take a nap! Good Night!
