OK, I didn't want another cat.
My prior cat (Kiki) got hit by a car last winter and I had kind of gotten used to not messing with taking care of a pet.
But I had never seen a kitten on his own that was this young before. He could have fit in the palm of one had and he still had baby blue just-opened eyes when I first heard him mewing under my deck. In these pictures, I've already been feeding him a couple weeks, so he is just now about weaning size.
He seems to be pretty well adjusted for one abandoned so young. I've just starting introducing him to the house and he has pretty good manners so far.
I've never seen a cat with this coloring. He has dark face, feet and tail, On his body, he has very dark undercoat...like chestnut but he has a bit of a white overcoat. In a horse, this color is described as Roan. I considered that for a name but Olivia helped me come up with some much better options. Some were just silly but most of the names had a coffee theme.
"DeCaff", "Starbuck", "Latte", and others. I settled on "Hersey-Mocha-Latte" with Hersey for short.
Now if any of you need or want a kitten, I could let him go. I'll break him in and have some fun with him for now, but, like I said, I really didn't want a cat.
But he seems to have found me.

Aww! He is adorable! That is a really unique coat pattern...:)
bummer about kiki. first we heard of it. good thing we live in sweden right now. :) cats have a way of finding us too.
I was thinking he could be your housewarming gift when you move back. He'll have his shots and be "fixed" by then...
he looks like a real cutie. now if we only had a house. oh, and jobs. maybe a car. come to think of it, there's a few details to sort out.
we can't wait to touch down though.
