Squee Alert! Purrsonal Edition

[font color=330099]First, I want to thank everyone that responded and recommended the thread that my sister posted earlier today. I'm not facing any imminent problems and hopefully I'll have some news reasonably soon on the diagnostic procedure I'm having tomorrow. Your support and warm wishes are sincerely appreciated.

Now for the reason you are looking at this thread. This past Saturday I went outside for a bike ride and I found this cute little pooper at the bottom of the stairs. When I arrived back from the store there was a thunderstorm in the area. I did not see any other kittens around so somebody may have dropped the kitten off or the kitten became separated from its mama and litter.

The kitten looks to be about a month old and has weaned, she is using a litter box some of the time but doesn't have total control of her BM yet. I've given her a couple of quick spray downs to alleviate the flea problem, but she is too young for an actual flea bath. As you can see, she is already becoming a lap kitty (yes, my legs are that pale and I desperately need a tan). She has pure Siamese markings and blue eyes. She is entering the playful stage and is adjusting to her new home and has already learned that she can hog the entire bed as she cuddles up to me at night.

I haven't come up with a name yet. I prefer to give her with a name that has a strong "e" sound since I can raise my voice up to call her and get her attention. My brother will also have to agree to the name. Anyhow, check out the photos and the cattitude that goes with them.[/font]

"Squee" has a strong "e" sound, come to think of it. Thanks for taking her in - you won't be sorry.

There is something about blue-eyed cats. 2 of our 5 are blue-eyed, and I never tire of looking at their gorgeous peepers.

She really is just gorgeous! And she was so incredibly fortunate to have found you!

I also found a kitten under much the same circumstances. Last August I found a tiny kitten in a grocery store parking lot. They were doing construction there and I talked to some of the crew. They said he'd been there for a few days and they'd 'd tried to catch him, but he was determined. So I went back with help and he's currently getting into mischief right next to me. The vet said he was about seven weeks. He's growing up into a beautiful cat and I have no doubt your little one will be stunning!

Just what you need to keep your spirits up - along with the support from your friends on DU...

He was the brother of the calico in the lower left side of signature line. Unfortunately he disappeared one night back in 2013. I still miss him though.

Just turned out that way, since they seem to find me. And I had no idea what this little one looked like in the dark behind the supermarket, could only see his eyes, poor scared little guy. My last cat was also black, an older cat I rescued from outside, as well. And, coincidentally, the best cat I will ever know - I adopted my uncle's two cats when he died - was black, with long hair, just a spot of white on her chest like Felix. Her name was Rhiannon...

He really is growing up into a beautiful cat - had no idea what he'd look like since I found him as a tiny kitten in a parking lot. He's still a little wild, not exactly a lap cat yet, LOL, but he's still less than a year old and I love him a lot, too...

We've had Siamese of different color points over the years. They were all very affectionate. Best wishes.

You're the only person I will accept an "ass kicking" from as a term of endearment. or is that ? If you come down to Wharton you only need to find the guy riding a neon green trail bike with the pale legs full of scars from kitteh scratches and bike accidents.

Just wait until I take photos of her messing with the paper towel roll and getting belly rubs!

I first thought you might name her hope but you wanted an "e" word so how about Empathy with Empie for short?

What a sweetie. I think she has wisdom in her little eyes.

My brother and I still haven't settled on a name, but she loves to play and spends so much time in my lap that it slows me down from getting any work done. When I go to bed she also insists on being next to me in the bed.
