I am planning on keeping the kitten that showed up last weekend as long as I can get it healthy and integrated into the rest of the house animals. I shall call him Tiger. I had my Leo (the lion) and I have my Bob Cat, so I think this one shall be my Tiger.

When a kitten hasn’t had food for heaven only knows how many days and you suddenly give it food, it does horrible things to its digestive system. The vet wormed him and gave us another med to help his tummy. She also though he is around nine weeks old.
Cat litter added to the bathroom because there’s no way it can make it to the basement.
If this kitten had wandered into my yard and the dog found it first, he would have killed it. That’s what he does. If it doesn’t belong here, he’s going to kill it. It’s why I have to be so careful with the new kids. He would love to chase and kill them because they don’t belong (ie they are new to the farm). However, since I caught the kitten first and brought it in the house and told him it belonged here, he is the sweetest he can be with it.
There have been a couple of awkward moments when the kitten tried nursing him, but overall they are good.
Rocky and Bob are the bigger hurdles. Bob is outside most of the time, so he has been pretty good about ignoring it right now. We’ll see how his attitude changes this fall.

He may have decided to show his displeasure with the new arrival by attacking an innocent zucchini.
He always loved snuggling with Leo and I know he misses him, so I think he’ll be happy once we get through this time of adjusting.

I hope. Because this little one is really sweet and deserves to be a cushions and cream cat. Oh, and here’s a bonus video of Sky and Tiger.
