• Well, we went to IHOP on saturday night and there was a cute little kitten outside that was running around and then came to the glass door wanting to get in. He actually looked like Chris old cat Fizzy. So we went in and ate and didn’t think another thought about the kitten. Then, when we were leaving our waitress was outside feeding the him scraps of chicken fried steak. It wasn’t very much and he was acting like he was starving. So the waitress said that was their cat. So I went to leave and she said your welcome to take him. Really!!! So Chris was like, well, they are feeding him here. So I was trying to talk him into it and telling him that he would strictly be an outside cat. While deciding, I picked him up hoping that he would be nice and he did not hesitate the attention. I was afraid he was going to run when I tried to pick him up but he loved being picked up and petted. Finally, Chris agreed because it is a busy business area and busy road so we decided the kitten would be better in our neighborhood. He did wonderful on the trip to the house. He was not afraid just curious. I was a little afraid that he would run off and Chris was hoping he would so someone would give him a good inside home. But, if he was to run off I would be so paranoid as to whether he did find a better home or not. He hasn’t run off though, he hangs around waiting for us to come outside so hopefully he will keep staying. I would of course love for him to be inside and it breaks my heart to keep him outside, but we already have two spoiled rotten cats inside that we pay to get fixed and such. Plus, my cats now take over my house and I sometimes think they are the owners. LOL. Another big plus, we did some major cleaning to our house this weekend and the amount of hair that we vacuumed up from our two cats is horrible. We could have made a sweater out of it. Anyhow, I think we agreed to call him smeagle. He is very skinny and malnourished and has a bob-tail that is kinda crooked looking. But he is the sweetest thing ever. I am thinking he will look alot better once he is on a regular kitten food diet. Has to better for him than chicken fried steak.

  You can see how tiny he is next to my cactus garden which is not very tall at all

  
  

  

  
  

  He likes being outside and in our bushes
