First night with kitty!
OMGZ, I am ded from teh cuteness.
I am such a friggin' softie. I teared up when I went to pick up the kitty, because I hated taking him away from his family. I almost teared up again when I dropped him off with my sister this morning, so she can look in on him so he's not completely alone his first day away from home, because I wasn't ready to "leave" him yet.
Seriously, he is SO. CUTE. I can't believe how much he looks like my Chewie - although of course much tinier. :) He loves to pounce on things and hide under chairs, and he's still - understandably - skittish around us. Hopefully we can bond some over the long weekend I have this weekend. :) Amazingly we got him to do #1 in the litter box last night, though he still seems more inclined to try to eat the litter.
He's also needy, of course - whenever I got out of sight when he was in the pet taxi, even if I was in the same room, he started mewling. He woke me up at 5:30 this morning with it. It was still a little early for me to be up and moving, so I just curled up in front of the carrier with my blanket for a little while until I had to get ready for work. I was tired, sure, but I couldn't be mad at him because - again, the cuteness, and I know the little guy is scared as hell right now.
My sister grabbed some pics and video of him with her camera phone, but she hasn't sent them to me yet. Still no name as of yet, though sis and I are leaning towards Oz. :) (After the BtVS character, of course.)
Can't wait to get home and see him! I so wasn't ready to have my sister take him this morning. I'd have brought him to work with me if I thought I could get away with it.
One way or another there WILL be pics tonight - of kitty, and my new hair (which continues to get compliments :)).
