The Happy Wag

In the market for a kitten?

I got this e-mail from an editor here yesterday. A friend of his has taken in this 6-month-old kitten and would like to find the little guy a home.

The temporary foster parent wrote that the kitten "needs to see the vet and to be neutered. Very cute as you can see, has somewhat long hair and a nice long bushy tail. I have 2 cats and a dog, can't add another."

This guy looks a lot like my cat Thai, except with long hair.  Clearly he's computer savvy, or at least he can hunt for a mouse (Very bad pun, I know. Sometimes I can't help myself.)

If I could take in another feline, he'd be living large at Chez Nelson tonight.

If you know someone who is looking for a kitty, please post a comment and let me know. I can get you in touch with the foster mom.

  1. I've got 3 kittens myself that need homes too. We had a female cat we got from some friends, and before we could get her fixed, she slipped outside one day and 2 months later we had 4 more! We're keeping one (to get a 3-3 balance of M-F), but we already had 5 before. Cute kitty though, looks like a B/W version of a Snowshoe I used to have.
