Topic: I got a kitten for my kids!

At work today I got an email saying that a lady I work with had 5 kittens that were 7 weeks old that needed a home.  So I asked the misses if she thought our kids would enjoy having a house cat.  She wanted to know where her husband was and what I had done with him, because I'm not really a pet kind of guy.  So we picked a kitten named her Molly and this kitten has stole my heart!  The kids went down at 8 because its a school night, and I have petted and played with this cat to no end.  I did learn though if you are passing a mirror don't have the cat on your shoulders, I now have this huge gash on my neck where she was fighting with herself.  I'm happy to say I'm a happy cat daddy, and 2 outside dogs in the yard that are not allowed to come within a foot of this kitten!  BTW I love my 2 boys too!  There is a reason they are mans best friend.

Re: I got a kitten for my kids!

Has she done the "happy dance" on your head in the morning when she thinks it is time to get up?  LOL

We got a new Maine Coon kitty last November and she had my husband wrapped around her (not so) little paw in about 5 minutes.  Love dogs, too, but not the right house/yard setup for one so I'll stick with my cat.

And have someone teach you how to trim her claws - you will be very happy to know how to do that for your own safety.

Have fun -

Sandy

Enjoy your cat. The dogs will be getting used to it and live in peace. Remember, Dogs have masters, cats have staff. wink

Re: I got a kitten for my kids!

No my kids woke up early this moring and started playing with the kitten...  I feel bad for her because she has no idea what she's getting into.  Kids went to school and I took the today and tomorrow off before the kitten was in the picture.  So far me and the cat have laid in the recliner all day because I stayed up too late since I was off.  The kitten wasn't happy with me playing guitar in the same room with her at 2 in the moring.

Re: I got a kitten for my kids!

Kittens are great fun. Take plenty of pictures, they grow up fast. We have three cats, all rescues in one way or another. One is completely spoiled and although I have some pic's of her, I realized not really enough. A photo shoot was in order and I really like how this one came out.

Great shot. She's got that "I see a bird and I'm a predator" stare going on.

Cruckdriver, your kitty looks so cute.

AD3THREE, you need to post a pic of the new kitten.

Re: I got a kitten for my kids!

This is my Zoe when she was about 12 weeks old:

and this is a more recent picture - 6 months old:

She is a Maine Coon so still has a lot of growing and filling out to do.

My older cat, Solo, who passed away last year.  He was a very special cat to me and I still miss him a lot:

Take those pictures - they change fast.
