A cat named Lemur

A couple of months ago, we finally, FINALLY moved into a new house with two of our friends. I love it because it has actual rooms, and I have a bedroom that I can run and hide in when I don't feel like being the hostess to guests. We have a kitchen with COUNTERTOPS and an OVEN and real STOVE and a MODERN bathroom and a spacious living room. We don't have internet though so I haven't been able to blog. Baxter, Chad and I are housesitting at a house with internet this week so I can give you a cute little update.

We adopted a kitten... Meet Lemur!

We rescued this little man off the streets! We were getting ready to drive home from a concert one night and I saw this little kitten bolt across the parking lot. I screamed, "KITTTEEENNN!!" Our friend in the car said, "do you want it?" and I said, "YES!!" "Are you sure?" "YAA!!" 

The little kitten looked so scared running back and forth meowing at the store front and was trying to find something to be against to stay warm. It took a little chasing, but our friend got the kitten and brought it in the car. I held the kitten the whole way home even though he was meowing bloody murder. I don't think he was more than 5 weeks old at the time.

We brought him into the house, and he was so scared he slept in my closet and meowed the entire night. We put tuna and milk out which he would snack on when nobody was around. 

When he got used to being around humans and the house, we were able to give him a bath and clean out all his eye crusties. He actually really enjoyed the bath with warm water. 

A clean, flea-treated, healthy kitty a few weeks later:

I noticed his black and white striped tail and I new it was just meant to be. Ringtail Lemurs are my favorite animal, therefore I named him Lemur. 


He loves attention more than any cat i've ever encountered

He an Blacky are even becoming friends :)
