It's a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a boy!!!!!!!!!

I went over to the animal shelter and picked out a playmate for Precious. He is currently named Elton and has 5 sisters, he is the only boy of the litter. I plan to call him Frodo, after Lord of Rings books. He is gray with black stripes that are hardly visible and has white paws often called socks. He has shorter fur than Precious. The adoption person let me play with the 8 kittens they had, one had been reserved already. She recommended 2 boys play together well, from her experience.

I was there for an hour and 20 minutes letting the kittens climb over me and attack my shoelaces. Precious did lots of sniffing when I got home. One all black kitty I thought was the runt climbed up my shirt and got up into my hair. I still feel the scratches on my scalp. I have scratches, red and white, on my arms and legs. 2 tuxedo kittens took a nap on my lap as I sat on the floor pretzel style. Precious likes the cubby hole when I sit pretzel style too.

There was a male orange tabby like my sister's cat, but I had concerns. He and his sister were found at a construction site and rescued. They were bottle fed when first came to the shelter. My sister's 1st cat was found under a car and ever since gorges on her food to the point they had to hide their 2nd cat's food. My sister thinks it might be from that starvation period. Then the tabby still had its blue eyes (the others had yellow eyes) and quite tiny compared to the other cats, well maybe the size of the black runt. I knew I would have to wait longer for him to take home. They have to be 3 pounds and 16 weeks old for spaying and neutering before thye can be adopted. I picked the bigger male that endlessly attacked my shoelaces. I could tell he was the boy of the group of sweet girls. He also got up on my shoulder twice. He is marked as reserved until I can adopt him hopefully by the end of the month.

Post later. Bye!
