Finally, it happened.  I just got home a little while ago from adopting a black kitten. I’ve been really discouraged b/c I haven’t seen any at the shelter. I wanted one born after Gotham’s passing, so I was looking for a kitten about 10–12 weeks. I was kind of horrified to see one listed that was 6 weeks old and neutered today (WTF???) and made sure I did my best to get him. I have an appointment with my vet next Wednesday to get him checked out and make sure no damage was done. Poor thing is only 1.6lbs!!! How can you neuter something so young and small??? I just had to give him a good home.

So far Stuart isn’t sure what’s going on, but he knows he doesn’t like it (maybe now he knows how Gotham felt when he barged in?). They haven’t met yet, I secreted the kitten into the same small room Stuart started out in. I put down wet kitten food, dry kitten food and water. I looked at my litter boxes and thought “No way. There’s just no way he can get in that”. I ended up grabbing a shoe box lid and putting litter in it hoping it will work.

I’m guessing he doesn’t feel good from being neutered today and coming to a new home….so he’s hiding in his room somewhere and I can’t find him. I saw what looked like foot prints in the litter when I peeped in earlier, so I know he’s in there and ok (so far).

So, what is his name? Well, I know I can’t top Gotham as far as a badass name goes, but I wanted to stay in the Bat Family. I didn’t want to go with something obvious, so I landed on “Matches Malone”. I may call him “Bats” for short, but we’ll see.

Wish me luck in a) Finding him, b) making sure he’s happy and healthy and c) getting him acquainted with Stuart so they can be best friends.

Happy Thursday Everyone!
