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.
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.
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!
