    Everyone, meet Duck! Two baths, several tablespoons of cat food and many dead fleas later she's shaping up to be a very happy camper -- purrs like a champion #

    Taking her to the clinic tomorrow to get checked out-- she'll be quarantined in my bathroom until then. My guess is she's 5-6 weeks old (size/shape, back teeth developed, very mobile, interested in patè) which is the youngest cat I've had, so any advice is appreciated!

    TurnoverFuzzy8264 Looks like you two are just ducky.

  • You guys seriously seem like the purrfect match. The Cat Distribution System really did an excellent job with this one. Somehow it always manages to pair the right tiny kitten with the right person at exactly the right time. Duck already sounds completely safe, spoiled, and adored after just one night indoors. Meanwhile she gets a warm place to sleep, food, and people ready to take care of her. That's a pretty successful delivery all around for the CDS.

    JessBx05 Now that is meeting a lady - she is adorable

  • You may not have planned on meeting this little girly that night, but it really seems like she showed up exactly where she was supposed to. Tiny kittens always have a way of completely changing somebody’s plans in the cutest possible way. One minute it is a normal Saturday night, and the next there is a tiny purring baby wrapped up in towels after a flea bath. Duck already sounds completely loved, safe, and cozy, which is a pretty amazing upgrade for one very small little kitten.

    OneMoreXennialSarah Purry orange baby kitties are the best. Congratulations!

  • Nothing is better than an orange kitty. Those little guys somehow manage to be adorable, chaotic, sweet, dramatic, and completely ridiculous all at the same time. One second they are curled up sleeping like tiny angels, and the next they are sprinting through the house at full speed with absolutely no plan in mind. Orange cats really do have their own special kind of personality. Even when they are causing problems, it is almost impossible to stay annoyed at those little orange faces for very long.
