Meow?

There's a good chance that I'll have a cat soon.

One of my sister's fellow employees rescued a kitten that was almost hit by a car. Part of its tail has been stripped to the bone, and will probably need to be amputated, but it's a cute, playful thing. The people who took it in can't keep it because their lease doesn't allow pets.

I think I'm ready for a cat. The only issue with this one is that it looks a little too young, and I'm not sure I'll have the time to care for a kitten of that age.

Pictures for the interested.

And I'll be naming him Xylophone if I decide to take him. Bonus Points† if you can tell what that's a reference to.

EDIT: Turns out, he's only four weeks old. That means he'll need a lot of extra care, and the best place for that is the humane society. I probably won't be able to get him, but I'll keep looking for a kitten I can adopt.

†Bonus Points have no actual value

Shame about the poor thing's tail, but at least he's alright! I hope you're able to take him, but sympathize if you decide not to. I love cats ridiculously, but have yet to get another one because if I got one, it would have to be a kitten - and I am not sure I have all the time the growing plot-head would need.

No idea about the reference, but gosh he's a cute little thing.

Never owned a cat so can't say for sure. But hope yer decision works out for the best!

Dude. Are those like the most precious photos or what???

Don't get the ref, but I did notice your disclaimer ;-p

That on with him looking out the window is just so cute. I really hope you can take him.

No idea where the reference if from, but talk about fine print. ^_^

ZOMG get yourself a kitten!!! o_0 =^-^= MEW! o.o

Ummmm... yes, kittens are wonderful things to have, but yes, they need a bit of watching after. I hope you're able to get him, but if not, then it happens.

I did a google image search (TM) for Xylophone Cat to try and find the reference, and this came up.



I get bonus points now, yes?
