So a lot's happened over the last couple of days. Tereti surprised me with a new baby kitten that one of his co-workers had been trying to rehome, so I've gone completely into mama kitty mode the last three days <:3 the precious little ball of fluff has been probably the greatest distraction from everything I could have asked for. She's ALMOST black in her coloring, but it's more of a super dark brown/grey tabby coloring, with a little white blob under her neck, on her belly, and on her toes x3. She's about 7 weeks old, which I kinda think is still too young to really be away from the mom, but she's already been weened onto wet and dry kitten chow. The only down side to everything is the people that had her before more or less left all the kittens alone with the mom, and only the mom up to this point. They never socialized any of her siblings, either, so the last couple of days have been me sitting in the bedroom with her, handling her gently, making sure she knows the food is coming with me, and trying to get her used to sleeping next to me or in my lap once she gets sleepy enough.
We just got her to start playing a little with us last night, and she's definitely a string chaser. She's getting really good about being handled once you pick her up, but she does hiss almost every time. She hasn't tried to bite or swat at anyone on purpose yet, though, either, though I did sort of punch myself in the face with her foot when we gave her a half bath after she stepped into her own poop :P Not the poop-foot, thank goodness! but she was very good with the water as well. still squirmy, but i think it was her first real experiance with a sink full of water. The next few weeks are gonna be crazy full of kitten shenanigans, and once I figure out the best way to transfer pics from my phone to the computer without killing my data (no usb chargers, just wall chargers) I'll definitely be throwing pictures at you guys!
She still doesn't have a name yet, and I don't think she will for a few weeks still. Not until she's comfortable and we can see her real personality :3 So for now, she's just BabyKitty, Kitten, or Little One X3
Also, this video(for sound) has been a huge help at putting her at ease! It's a 3 hour track of a cat purring happily :3

Ps when do you think you'll be streaming again?
She hates being near anyone, but follows me and my Mother around at times, and often sleeps cuddled up between my Mom's legs. It's only been in the past month that she's comfortable enough, if I approach her while sleepy, she'll lick my entire hand and palm clean. <{^.=.^}>
I'm an animal lover, and we have five cats in this house, one of them mine...a cute lil' Calico named Kiwi (the name is ironic...of which I wouldn't mind sharing the story with you and you alone, Gable).
And most of my closest friends are cat lovers, too. :P
I'll share pics with my cats, or even Skype Call stream 'em, to show you their cuteness. <{^.=.^}>
