4. Congrats. We also have a new kitten that we adopted with his mom.

Apparently he lived all of his life in a cage at the shelter with her.

Released from the cage, he's wild man, I mean, um, cat. It's a joy with some ambivalence to watch him go wild with his toys.

Interestingly his Mom is this nice sedate young lady, estimated to be about 3 years old, now spayed. Every once in a while she has to swat him to get him to calm down, for example when he jumps on her or tries to nurse. She's something of a disiplinarian.

They're helping us get over the loss of our 18 year old cat a while back.
