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.

The people who found the little fuzzball learned that it's only about four weeks old, so they took it to the humane society for proper care until it's old enough to adopt. Unfortunately, I don't think they can reserve animals for that long.
