Kittens Are Cuddly, Kittens Are Cute

Yes they are.  We visited a friend of ours and babysat their twin girls while they were out running errands.  They are getting so big!  But what was really surprising was that they got a new kitten.  They had one to begin with and they got two more but one of them died so there's only one now.  But I swear that he looks like a dwarfed version (and slightly less rusty colored) Cosmo.  He was so adorable!  Oh my gosh, he was only five weeks old!  Can you imagine how small he is?  I can pick him up with one hand.

I fed him his bottle in the cardboard box he sleeps in.  I don't recall ever bottle feeding anything in my life before, but it was really great.  When he was finished eating he would start playing with the bottle so I put it back in the fridge.  Then I pet him to sleep and occasionally stroked him while he slept.  He purred for me a few times.  It's amazing how big a purr can come from such a tiny cat.  Then I spent time holding him and allowing him to explore on the floor and kept him away from the rocking recliner.  I've had 'experiences' with rocking chairs and feet and I didn't want him hiding underneath it.  Soon I got tired of pulling him away from the chair and put him back in his box to sleep.

Most of my time was spent petting the kitten and watching the strange shows on Disney Junior.  Once I stepped from my post by the box and helped the girls with markers and one other time to do puzzles with them.  Then, of course, it was time to leave and I reluctantly left the kitten to his nap.  Cute little thing...
