Reward: a blanket to lay on so she wouldn't lay on my dirty clothes any more.

Liv is 10 weeks old now.
Likes:
Hiding under chairs
Her mouse toys
Sitting on the air vents
Chasing balls of any kind
Food!!
Dislikes:
Being told no (though she's improving)
Certain kinds/brands of cat litter
I am convinced the cat distribution system exists; she showed up at the right time.

Totally relaxed right now, listening to 70s country music with a kitten pulling at the strings of my hoodie.
I'm good.

Sitting on the front porch in shorts and a T-shirt listening to St. Louis Blues hockey on a 69° night near the end of December.

Got Liv one of those cat trees and she seems to love it.
I really hated to disturb her.

So I'm at Dollar Tree to buy some Christmas socks for a themed brunch today and I noticed that they had already started putting their Easter items on display.
Not Valentine's Day.
Not St. Patrick's Day.
Easter.
That's a new extreme for me.

Liv got her first bath last night. There was some objection as most cats will do, but all in all she was a pretty good sport about it.
Now 8 weeks old.

Here's one of my sister's farm cats, sitting on the hood of my car like it owns it.
Depending on who you ask, it's called Tux, Tuxedo or Tuxedo Mask.

You ever have that one kitten who gets all up in your business when you're doing litter box maintenance and then after you've changed the litter, just sits there just to sit there?
That's Liv.

I encountered these two cats sitting at the end of a footbridge at our park.
It's as if they were saying you shall not pass.

Liv is now fully litter box trained and I am now letting her explore the house.
A couple of the rooms are still off limits for now but I want her to be comfortable roaming.
She's now 6 weeks old with a ravenous appetite and very curious about shoestrings.
Love seeing progress.

Here's a kitten transformation.
Picture 1 after I found her on my front porch Sat morning. She was wet and eyes crusted shut. I got them open with a wet paper towel.
Picture 2 yesterday. In just a few days she looks lots better and has figured out the litter box.
Meet Liv.

They always say the cats find you.
It's as if they have a sixth sense when a human has lost "their" neighborhood cat, another comes in to fill the void.
Meet B.G., short for Black Gold. Very friendly.
No cat replaces Miss Zelda but good to still have one around.

It's a sad #Caturday for me. Miss Zelda has crossed the rainbow bridge.
The neighbors told me when I moved into my current house in '21 that she had hung out there about 3 years hence the estimated birth date.
Thanks for 4 good years.
