In case I don't have enough friends... I got one more... just in case.

Good Morning!

As most of you know by now Jason and I have gotten a new addition to our family, making us a family of 3. His name is Wiser and he is a fluffy little gray furball kitten. He was 9 and a half weeks old when we got him and full of energy and love.

Last week Jason suggested that I get a kitten to be my little companion through the rough times ahead. I couldn't believe it. He pretends to hate cats and he calls them shitrats; I always believed deep down that he really had a soft spot for them! I started looking Wednesday afternoon and on Thursday morning I found an ad on Craigslist of the exact kitten I was looking for. J and I had narrowed it down to wanting a fluffy gray male. I called Cindy (the women with the kittens) half an hour after she posted the ad and she said she would be home after 4 and she would call so I could come take a look. I had arranged for Sarah to come with me because although Jason apparently does like cats... I figured this part wasn't truly up his alley.

Sarah and I ventured to pets mart to pick up the essentials... kitty litter, food, a pan, brush and a few toys. I managed to only spend 60 bucks in there but it would have been easy to spend more on toys for sure! We made our way to Cindy's house where there were 3 kittens. One blackish red calico and 2 gray ones. I held Wiser first and then the other gray kitten who was smaller and was lighter gray with a whiter belly. I fell in love with Wiser first and when it seemed hard to choose I thought of Jason. 'What would Jason want?' Then it was easy. You see Wiser was special because he was a polydactyl kitten meaning he had 6 toes on his front paws... making them huge and shaped like mittens. I knew for sure J would love this 'feature' and so he is the kitten I brought home.

I was right of course! Jason was thrilled about his special paws and told me I had brought home the perfect kitten who we named Wiser immediately!!! Wiser settled in very quickly. He was exploring our bedroom and was playful with us within the hour. He was eating and cleaning himself. All was well until Jason yelps, "I think he is peeing on my leg!' I looked at him and chuckled and said NO I don't think so. Sure enough the warm yellow liquid streaming out of our kitten onto the bed and on his leg... was Wiser peeing on him. I am not going to lie I was baffled because I knew Wiser knew where his pan was as he had jumped in and out of it several times. I had never had a kitten who did not instinctively know to use his litter pan immediately after being placed in it a couple of times. To make a long story short this went on Thursday night through to Saturday morning. We got 3 pees and a poo on our bed while we were in it!!!

I felt so confused because he wasn't stressed or scared and yet he kept doing it. We picked up tips on what to do from everyone... and tried them all. I am pleased to announce - our little bundle of joy has made it 2 full days without peeing or pooing anywhere other than his litter box!!! As of today he is now allowed out of the bedroom to explore the rest of his home!
