Cheech Loves His Binky...

When we found our little kitten (Chichieto, or Cheech for short), he was only 4 to 4.5 weeks old, which is almost too young to be away from his mommy. But, he was abandoned, so we didn't have any choice. One of the funny things the he developed is his love for our fuzzy, cheetah print blanket. He immediately took to it and whenever he sees it, he can't help but run over to it, gently grab it in his mouth and start nursing on it. He usually does this for about an hour or until he falls asleep (with the blanket still in his mouth).

He got a little nervous when I shot this video of him, but normally, he is going off with the kneading and he purrs like crazy. It's obviously soothing to him, sort of like when a kid sucks it's thumb. So cute!

Name That Kitten

We were just trying to go to dinner and we ended up adopting a kitten...We were driving down a dark highyccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccAΩ≥≥≥AA... Okay, let's try this againd...0...(the kitten keeps walking across my laptop. Sorry!) Any how, we were driving down a dark highway on our way to dinner and this little guy was sitting in the middle of the road:

Stefan swerved to miss him, but we still ended up running over him. Luckly, Stefan swerved enough so he went between the wheels and did not get hit. So, long story short, we stopped the car and Stefan plucked him out of the street just before the next car came around the bend. And there you have it. We have a kitten. What else could we have done...

So, our new kitten need a name! Any suggestions?

No, I don't have huge feet, the kitten is just muy pequeno!

After talking to my mom (who knows an insane amount of information about animals. Especially for a programmer...), this kitty is about 4.5 weeks old and is most likely a male.

Did you know that the majority (80% or so) of orange cats are males? And that all calico colored cats are females or hermaphrodites? That is what I learned from Robin today...interesting, eh?

Any how...let's play, Name That Kitten!
