Her name is Luna, she doesn't live on the second floor

A quick note to introduce Luna to y'all. This is the best picture I've been able to get thus far - kittens don't sit well for portraits, as I'm learning!

Luna is one of three kittens from Mingy, a feral cat found almost dead in a friend's back yard last September. Mingy was also pregnant, and on 4th October gave birth to Buddy, Oscar, and Luna.

So Luna spent the first night at my place mewing under the bed a lot because she misses her brothers, but I'm going to hit the Humane Society the day after tomorrow to see if I can find her a playmate. I have to get her spayed too. Aside from that she seems to be settling in OK. I woke up in bed this morning with her standing on my face so I guess it's safe to say that she feels secure around me now LOL. She nearly got in the shower with me too, finding contentment sitting on the bathtub-edge between the clear plastic shower curtain and the fabric one. I did warn her that she wouldn't like water but clearly my feline linguistic skills are lacking somewhat. She still seems curious so sooner or later she'll probably end up in the sink or bathtub by accident, and that'll be that!

Aside from taking a quick whizz on my bed just as I was leaving the house, she's been pretty well-behaved thus far too. I guess she's still a little excited/nervous, bless her. I feel bad leaving her alone all day, but I suppose she'll be as glad to see me tonight as I will her. :o)

Must go - work to do...

    Don't worry dad - the other cat is spayed already LOL. They're not related, and besides, Luna gets spayed at the end of this month so I won't have to worry about turning into the old woman who lived in a shoe LOL.
