Well, the edit failed; there's nothing I find controversial with my words so will just post links.

Well; must be something controversial with the words chosen. Not going to post the prose, but for the curious, I posted at DPR what I wanted to post here.

Awe she is so cute, love the look on her face. Is Mittens her name? I read the DPR post, and replied there also. Cats are funny within 'their' own territory

Posted a reply to you, Sallyanne (at DPR's site that is). She's definitely cute and extremely tiny, Rod. Seems to be eating (and pooping) fine. Still have a barrier between her and her older sister. Snow is definitely not happy about situation since she's use to hanging around in my bedroom and cannot for now.

She's getting bigger; took a few more pics, earlier, but this one was the only one that sort of came out decent. lol

She's over 8 weeks old now; taking her to the vet tomorrow for a wellness check (mainly to make sure she doesn't ahve feline leukemia; she doesn't have the sores and other issues associated with that so I believe she will get a clean bill of health).

Well, surprise, surprise. Went to the Vet earlier to get a wellness check and they told me that Mittens was actually a boy. lol

His testes hasn't fallen yet and it was quite often that cats get misgendered at the early age. Sort have wanted a boy anyway to complement my girl (Snow). Looks like I get my wish.

At least you picked a name that can be for a boy or girl. Do you still have the cats seperated?

Still separated and my girl's not happy with me at the moment since her thrown room (my bedroom) has been locked out for her for the past few weeks now. Mitten's still too small, but have been finding opportunities for them to mix with each other under my supervision of course. At least, Snow doesn't hiss at him any longer. lol

Hopefully, by June, I'll make the situation more permanent. Still concerned since he's extremely spunky (i.e., daring) and I'm concerned he'll do something stupid. lol
