Kitten Antics

We had a feral cat give birth to kittens in our backyard the end of March, but we didn't discover them until they were about eight weeks old.  We were able to trap two of them before the mother disappeared with the other two.  Kyleigh desperately wanted one so she got the first one we trapped and named it Tony.
We kept the second one and after some deliberation, I named it Taz.  Both kittens are identical in color. 
 
 

He likes to be close to one of us most of the time.  When it's David, usually in the evenings, Taz curls up on David's chest and they both take a nap. 

When he's with me, if he's not helping me cook, fold clothes, clean his litter box or do any of those other pesky little chores, he's usually cuddled up near me, but not necessarily on me. 

 

He's curled up like this last picture right now except that his head is on the corner of laptop and he's sound asleep.

We've always had cats, but when the last one died several years ago, we decided not to get another one.  This one just kind of happened, but we're both happy and he's going to be our first indoor cat so hopefully, he'll be able to stick around longer.

Ah, he is so cute! My daughter would like a cat but that's not such a good idea when we live on a fairly busy road and have cockatiels which are often out of their cage! Taz has obviously settled in well though. :)

Oh Cathy, he's absolutely precious! And look at how much he's grown already! He was certainly meant to be with you. I'm glad Kyleigh got his brother!
Our two are indoor and it's nice not to have to worry about them outside.
