Oliver ... until today known as "Toddy" ... is what the vets call a "rescue kitten". One of the vets who works at the vet clinic in walkerton found him, literally on the yellow line of Hwy 4 (for those of you who aren't sure where I mean, the highway between hanover and walkerton .. the one i live on ...). at the time he was so tiny that at first, they thought he was a hamster! after a couple of weeks of lots of love and nursing, he was deemed "ready for a new home".
enter me. i called that particular vet clinic to inquire about "free kitten" postings, and was immediately informed "we have a rescue kitten!". right up my alley :) (remember, kiki was "rescued" from the guelph humane society).
so kiki now has a friend and i have a new bundle of fur (a lot of fur ...). my life, and this blog, just got more interesting! stay tuned for updates on both, as well as photo documentation of Oliver's growth. :)
in the meantime, the two of them are taking turns following each other around the apartment. things are going quite well -- i'm glad kiki is so friendly and adjusts well. she wasn't exactly thrilled at oliver checking out HER food bowl, but hey, i'm good at "redirection" and it wasn't too difficult to show him where his kitten bowl is!
alright, i've spent the last 28 or so hours distracted by kitten-ness ... i'd better consider some more homework!
*mew* :)
