Many of you know that several weeks ago DD18 rescued a feral kitten from her work. The kitten was about 4 weeks old at the time and was so scared!

Since that time, it had a great check up with the vet. It is scheduled to go back next week for another check and shots. At the 1st check they were unable to determine if it was a male or female. But, with the help of my NT friends and a little time, DD18 and I really believe it is a male - certainly looks that way. DD18 named him Tux.

Tux has now made his presence in the house known. He is all over the place playing like crazy. Naturally, strings are his favorite toy, thus, I have all different kinds of string all around the place. He thinks he is some sort of body builder cat as we had a furry kind of blanket tucked under the couch for him to sleep on. Well, the little guy decided one evening that he wanted to pull the blanket out. Too funny! Of course, he didn't get very far and gave up.

Within the past couple of days, he has actually jumped up on the couch to cuddle with one of DDs or myself. He will just purr and purr and then fall asleep. This was a major step for him as we had to "catch" him before in order to get this type of socialization in. DD16 laughs as when she would go to pick him up he would hiss and purr at the same time.

He is eating like crazy!!!! As a result, he is putting on weight and we can no longer feel all the bones in his body. This is such a relief as he was such a skinny little thing and was probably starving.

All in all things are going very well and we feel so fortunate to have saved this little kitten.
