Guess What?

Well it was late in the afternoon, not  much of the work day left when my husband texted me that he had found a newborn kitten.  He asked what I thought he should do?  I said, "bring it home if you want!"  We sent a few more texts back and forth as we discussed options concerning the kitten.

He did mention in one text he might put it back in case a momma cat might be looking for it. However, I was fairly certain a baby kitten was going to accompany Brad home.  I was right!  In the door he came tonight with a very tiny kitten in a box.  We were worried about fleas and how we were going to feed it so a trip to Petsmart was a must before dinner.  We did however, take a few moments to look up online how to figure out if it was a boy or a girl.  After that our guess was a girl.  We soon left for Petsmart carrying the kitten along with us in a box.

The Petsmart employees pointed us in the right direction for all the necessities to take care of a kitten this small.  It was also confirmed the kitten is a girl!  We bought bottles and kitten milk. As for the flea concern we were told to bathe her in Dawn because she's too young for flea meds.

As soon as we got home Brad bathed her in a sudsy sink full of Dawn.  She looked super cute all suds up!  Meanwhile I prepared her bottle. Which was a bit tricky as I couldn't figure out how to get the nipple on the bottle started. The one area I messed up with was warming the milk.  I didn't do that!  She didn't seem to mind!

Whether or not we'll be keeping her is yet to be determined!  Brad is unsure he wants another cat.  I think it's very tempting for him but when he thinks about the bigger picture is when it doesn't seem like such a great idea.  We'll see!  I told Brad it's strictly his decision!  I'm all in if he wants to keep her and I'm supportive if he decides he doesn't want to.  We did get info while at Petsmart on an organization that will take her should we decide to not keep her.

She's very pretty.  Has great markings.  And as Brad already mentioned she matches with the boys.  Her coloring is a combo of Cody and Simon.  She's actually closer to Simon's coloring overall.  Lot's of dark gray and some black mixed in with white feet like Cody!   

Since she's about 3 to 4 weeks old, that means she was born right around my birthday.  That's kind of cool!  While at Petsmart a customer passing by said cats choose their owners.  They simply seem to find a good owner.  Which is exactly how Brad has gotten a few of his cats over the years.  He just found them as babies.  This is the second baby kitten he's found in the last four months.  A coworker of his took the first one.  Is a higher power trying to make us see we're destine to be cat parents again or what?  I must admit I'm already thinking of names!
