I had done all the usually searching through the internet and came upon a breader close to home. With friend in car, we went to visit the litter. Mom is blue point; dad is seal. We played with the six, six week old kittens. How could I not take one home! I had first pick and went for the little guy with the racing stripe down his back. He was very rambunctious. Surely Bello, our tonkinese would find this a good playmate.
Baby was in a carrying case and I dropped it carefully in front of hubby while working. He was instantly smiling and scooped "Hudson" from the cage. Hubby didnt like the name that I though would make baby a winner in our household. He said we would find a more suitable name. For the rest of the weekend, hubby carried baby around or taking pictures of baby, and still carefully introducing baby to Bello. He is not photogenic and resembled the crazy hyenna from "Lion King" cartoon. So Ed was the name picked. He looks like an Ed too.Bello was behaving very well, better than we expected. He hissed, baby hissed, he hissed again and walked away. Bello followed Ed everywhere still staring him down and still the odd hiss. All went very well even unsupervised.
Sunday morning was fun as I let Ed out to follow me around. I went down stairs to the kitchen and forgot that baby had never seen stairs before. That was horrifying at first as he walked straight out and then dropped and tumbled to the bottom, breaking his fall by hitting the wall at the end. But Ed shook himself off and kept on running.
Today was his first visit to the vet. This is the start of cleaning out the rest of my savings account as we need three more visits for shots, flea treatments, worm treatments, declawing, neutering, etc. Just as I was ready to leave the office, the vet came back, looking under the tail one more time.....surprise....It's a GIRL...Eddie!
