Kitten Interview Day!, Hoping for a new Special Friend. Options

[Jon730]

Today was the day. The local kittens are six weeks old, and I was finally invited to interview them.
As I had hoped, one chose me. He left the pile of kittens in the basket, ran up my leg and sat on my shoulder, when I said, "OK! Who wants to win the lottery? I have an opening for a CAT!"
He will remain with his mother for a couple of weeks more, yet, then right to the Vet, and home.



Names, names. Because he is a Tuxedo Cat, I wanted to name him "Linux", as in , but this was vetoed by my niece, who said, "If you name him after some Geek Operating System, I'll never talk to you again!".OK.
His father is a HUGE cat, so maybe:
Dreadnaught?
Catapotamus?
Magnus?
A friend suggested "Hiram". I made a wisecrack about him teaching the cat a certain Handshake, and we left it at that.

This requires more thought. I am grateful for the two weeks.

Because for the last few decades I have always rescued "Used Cats", I had not seen kittens for a long time. I must have laughed nonstop for fiteen minutes! I needed it, because of course there will always be an empty place from Miles.
A whole basket full of clowns who have had WAY too much coffee!
This is his proud godmother, the Employee of the Mother Cat..(Who will be spayed thereafter! A limited time litter offer!!)

Now THAT's really exciting. We are going to be very anxious to hear all about him and to see more pictures of him. What you have posted ....he is just unbelievably darling!

And, I know Miles is smiling about all this. That's what unconditional love is all about....wanting to see the one you love happy. I can feel that myself from my Little Guy..each and every time I look into his eyes in any one of his beautiful pictures.

The beginning of the road is just the start of the best times....we learned from our special ones that we need that unconditional love. Life just isn't the same without it.

And look at this little teeny baby you are getting who has love just written all over him.

As we have shared the pain so do we share the joy. We will be waiting for you, Jon, to tell us everything.
