    He then promptly tried to climb up his leg. When I got back from grocery shopping, he told me what happened. Since it was already in the upper 20s last night (and a low of 15 degrees earlier this morning), we put him

    in our home office. Our resident cats rarely go in there. He is very friendly, trusting, and loving. Quite the purr factory. Doesn't appear to have fleas, but since he's black it's difficult to tell. We

    already have 2 cats, so he will have to stay in here for the time being. They seem curious (especially my younger female cat) but otherwise not particularly perturbed by the situation. I have already called

    the vet and scheduled an appointment for February 18th. I don't exactly know how old he is, but the consensus of other Reddit users seems to be about 6 months. I'm not good at guessing kitten age, so I don't know at this point.

    I will likely go to the vet today to scan for a microchip (don't need an appointment for that), but I'm skeptical he has one. The only thing I'm a little concerned about

    is he is squinting a little out of his left eye, but shows no obvious signs of discomfort. He doesn't like being alone for long, so I've been periodically going into the office so he can cuddle.

    We have decided to call him "Tux" for now, although I don't know how long that will be his name. I just needed something to call him in the meantime and that's the first thing that came to mind that made sense to me.

    Tina-Tuna A boy like this who has obviously dressed up for the occasion should be named accordingly therefore say hello to Lord Thomas Tuxington the First

  • He looks like the tiniest, most polite gentleman, the kind who would tip his imaginary hat before asking for pets. Everything about him says proper manners and soft purrs. That little face has such sweet, calm energy, like he showed up ready to be adored. Truly the purrfect gentleman, wrapped in fur and already practicing his best indoor behavior.

    OldMotherGrumble Thats pure adoration in those huge saucer eyes.

    JessicaEccles76 Those are some fine whiskers he has there.

    Intelligent-Wear-... Thank you for rescuing him and giving him a loving home.

    MandaDPanda He was literally saying, "waaaaaait waaaaait! I'm supposed to go with you!!!"

    scrimpusly "Where have you been?! You're my ride home and you kept me waiting! What time do you call this?"

  • He was clearly waiting for you to find him and make it official. The way he ran up and announced himself sounds like a cat who had already decided this was the plan. Some kittens wander, but this one showed up with purpose. He picked his people and made sure they noticed. He knew exactly where he was supposed to land.

    ThatInAHat Those whiskers! Perhaps Mr Stache? Nah. But either way, good on y'all for taking the baby at his word that he needed to go home with you

    MissingUAwesome That little blep... thank you for taking him in from the cold.

  • He is an absolute cutie. That face alone could convince anyone to open the door and make space. There’s something about him that just feels soft and sweet all the way through. You look at him and immediately understand why he got picked up and brought inside. Some kittens don’t even have to try. They just show up looking like that and the decision is made.

    Ok-Conversation... Thank you for taking this little cutie in!
