Gizmo

About the kitten. My Aunt Renee and Uncle Kevin recently got three kittens but, sadly, two of them died. After we heard that the second kitten had died, Grandpa was out by the garbage cans and found a little kitten on top of his four foot wall. He brought the kitten in for the night and the next morning we let it go, thinking that it was too small to be away from its mother. That afternoon, after Grandma got off of work, she went outside and found the kitten lying behind the garbage cans. It had gotten sick on itself and was covered with ants. Grandma brought it in, cleaned it up, and it spent the night in the bathroom. It had fleas all over it. We were giving it a bath this morning and the fleas were crawling all over in its ears, eyes, and mouth. The poor thing just sat there. We took him to the vet where he was given a really great bath and checked for some viruses. In two weeks he will have to go back for shots and will then get a shot to rid him of all fleas for a long time. Right now, most of the fleas are dead but not all. So, as soon and Gizmo is done with his shots, he will be given to Aunt Renee.
Here is a picture of him before the vet.


And after.

*dies* *Dies* and *dies again*!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gimmy Gimmy! I want to hold it now! Right now :). Ok Fine..... He is the cutie pie! *Cries* she wants a kitten.... :D

I am glad that you have reconciled yourself with the race of cats and are willing to ecxept them somewhat. That is a good begining. And when we get some property someday I will have a cat and you will love it. OK? :)

BTW.... We did not get the property on Robinson park road :(. The other people who had an offer on it at the same time as we did got it. We were all really disapointed, but it was God's will that we don't have it. I would have really liked it though. Maybe sometime soon.
