We got a kitten!

At the end of November 2009 my fiancee and I got a kitten!  We actually were not engaged yet at this point.  We went to a nearby animal shelter and got ourselves a kitten.  I was looking for a male tiger kitten, or at least one with stripes.  Instead, we ended up with a black kitten that the fiancee picked.  This kitten was most playful, not stuck-up, liked to be held, and was very fun when we played with him!  When we got him, he was 2 months old and weighed 2 pounds!  He was very cute. 

Now that he is getting older, almost 6 months and definitely a lot heavier (although still thin and not a fat cat!) one can notice that he actually has stripes!  His fur is really a dark brown with lighter brown stripes.  He is still very playful: he loves water.  He will play in the bathtub or kitchen sink.  He loves to sit on the bathroom counter while I get ready in the morning. 

He loves to play with pens and highlighters, so he is a very happy cat when I am doing my schoolwork.

I bought him a little kitty condo that is two levels he loves to hang out in.

It was very interesting when we got our Christmas tree this year.  We got a fake one on purpose because we didn't want him to eat the pine needles off a real tree.  Well, this little kitten was climbing that tree every day.  He would also hide under it and when you walked by would pounce out from under it with his front paws out like superman.  Below is a picture of the kitten inside the tree, attempting to get electrocuted. 

Laundry day is his favorite, especially when the laundry is still warm.
