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

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?

I plan to, even if it probably has to be a different one.

Yeah, and the four-week-olds, like that little one, need enough that it should be left to the professionals. The humane society is the best choice for him.

EEP! Okay, I'll tell you where it came from. Just make that evil thing go 'way. It's from "The Stupids", a series of picture books. The Stupids had a dog named Kitty and a cat named Xylophone.
