You know, for an old Marine you're kind of a softy.
I wouldn't want word to get out in your neighborhood you're sweet on kitties and puppies, otherwise your reputation might suffer...
I was gonna go there, Jeff, but two things stopped me;
1. When I was new here, Don did me a favor.
2. As a Marine, Done knows ways to hurt me over the net and without using his hands. Marines know things!!
Anyway, nice new guy to have around the homestead. Congrats, you two!
PS Hey cabinetman, I actually had one that responded ot its name, came to a whistle when she was outside and would sit on a hand command. She was too much - never was able to duplicate it again.

Reason: add PS
Good for you rescuing the kitten! Anthough, it's hard to resiste, isn't it?
I've got 4 cats that are a whole litter rescued from the farm that LOML's horse is kept on, and they are some of the best cats around. Rescues are the way to go.
Looks like you could end up with a long haired cat there.
After a visit with the Vet and talking to the neighbors that own 'Momma', he was probably only a wek old when I found him. The vet said the odds of a kitten that young surviving being bottle fed is less than 50/50.
Airstream beat the odds and turned 6 weeks old last Wednesday. He is healthy and almost 2 pounds. He still wants milk from a bottle but is now eating cereal from a dish. He has 2 speeds, sleep and CHARGE, and he's into everything!
He made his first kill yesterday! Got himself a taste of cricket.

That's pretty cool Pappy, glad to hear he's doing good. Wasn't real big on cats myself until recently after spending some time around a neighbors Seal Point Siamese, I think I want one for the shop now.

That's great Pappy! Glad you have a new friend. I'm afraid we're about to loose one of our cats. Slick is in the 16 year range and has been some serious health issuses. He goes to the vet today for an evaluation.
Airstream is now about the size -- or maybe a little bigger -- of the kitten I found on my bike ride last Thursday,. She's now living in my shop until I find her a home, but I'm already getting attached to her. No name yet, although "Jointer" might be appropriate as she has chosen the cutterhead guard on that machine as her special place to sleep.
Anyway, that's a fine looking little pal you have there. You done good. I love to read stories like this.
