New Kitty Update! [View all]

Oh my gosh I love him so much! We played feather on a stick last night and I think it gave him confidence. We explored some in the house after that and he finally meowed at me. It's a sweet little meow, which is not surprising because he's such a sweet little dude.

This morning we discovered he's a coffee monster. Need to locate the lid to my coffee mug. Let him have a tiny nip, thinking he'd say Ewww! and that would be that. Wrong! He's a little fiend, lol! Also, he ate and drank well overnight so very happy about that.

Now the important part: Photos!

Now that he is relaxing and holding still for more than a few seconds at a time, I noticed how beautiful and unique his eyes are!



Kneading in my hair



Finally cleaned all the junk off the bed so I have a comfy spot to chill with him. And so he can lay there, too. In this one, he's contemplating the freshly washed green kitty bed and what lies beyond the guest room door.


This is yesterday morning, before I realized the moving shadows from the trees outside were scaring him (it was windy yesterday). The closet is his super extra safe spot.


Put some curtains up and he felt safe to come back out.


Looking at the pics from yesterday makes me realize how much progress he's already made! Pretty sure he went exploring while I was sleeping which is wonderful!

He's frickin' adorable!!


Need to take more still pics, been getting tons of video.

Edit to Add: As for changing the name he came with (Easy Cheese, which is cute but, as far as I’ve seen, not really suited to him), he’s been giving me William vibes. Definitely not Bill, but William. But, it’s too early to tell what his name is, we’ll see what happens as we get to know each other.
