New little friend arrived yesterday!

The kitten is actually being way more confident than I expected? I knew it had been handled a lot by kids in its previous home and it's not too young (11 weeks) but honestly it was exploring within 15 minutes of arriving! It used its litter box and ate pretty quickly too. I mean it was skittish but didn't hide!

And last night it snuggled up into DHs legs and had a snooze whilst we were watching TV!

Its having a rest beside me on the couch right now!

It did meow downstairs for a little while after we went to bed which was kinda heart-rending but actually it was probably only for about 5 minutes before it stopped, lol. And it was shattered so no doubt went to sleep pretty quickly.

It's not letting us touch it yet but that's to be expected and I keep telling the kids it's normal (all they want is cuddles).

I think it's going really well! 😍

What a cutie!

He went to the vets yesterday and got high praise. Perhaps he's a bit knackered from his first vaccine?

He played with the kids all morning but flaked out by 10am and I suspect that's gonna be it for the day! 😂

Oh he's lovely x

After my puppy had his first vaccine he slept for ages !

AlfonsoTheMango · 06/08/2021 12:00

Yes. A vaccine will do that. He's just letting his body have a little rest.

This is our new addition. Our semi feral Squirrel 😊

Ah! That might explain it. Vaccines and stress will make him sleepy.

How is your kitten settling in now ?

ElspethFlashman · 09/08/2021 18:13

Thanks for asking, he was knocked out from his double vaccine for 3 days! But much more active the last couple of days. Still sleeps most of the time mind!

He has started to purr. Only for me, which I'm extremely smug about. Grin

He is absolutely unshockable, which is a good thing as the 5 yr old has definitely been treating him as her plaything. But he doesn't seem to mind that much.

Is honestly the most chill cat I've ever met, we're all terribly attached. Even DH, the old softie!
