While there's a certain logic to that there are plenty of cats already in the barn and we just hand them off to the local shelter or we try to find good homes for them ourselves.
Somebody dropped this guy off a week or so ago.
He's very very sweet. And he's smart. My house needs a cat. I brought him home.
He's a jumper. He jumped up on the counter while I was fixing dinner and sent a bowl of olives flying. Before I could gather them up he was chowing down on them fast as he could find them. Purring to beat the band. So I named him Oliver.
It's been a long time since I've had a kitten around the house. I'm gonna guess this guy is maybe 10 months old. We'll visit the vet this week.
Edit, 10 November, followup: It's really interesting I think the vet says it's quite common for tuxedo cats to have that very sweet temperament. I never knew that.
Lucky for me he tires easily!
I don't normally eat breakfast. A few years ago I started eating breakfast on Sunday mornings. Just to make Sunday morning special. And sometimes it's extra special.

If you don't know your way around a duck egg start with scrambled duck eggs. The yolks may be a little richer than chicken eggs but the biggest difference is the white. Duck egg whites are *very* much thicker than chicken egg whites and frying them is a little tricky. You're likely to overcook the yolk while the white will still be a little runny.
Taking my inspiration from McDonald's I decided I'd have a breakfast burrito.
Awww, I love you kitty - and what a perfect name! He looks a lot like our "Mama Boots"... who does live at our barn, but prefers not to come in the house, even though she has been invited.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that duck eggs are that different than chicken eggs. Hmmmm - I've never had the opportunity to try one.
Congratulations on your new addition! Oliver looks like he's settled in nicely. Love his little white boots. :-) I have never had duck eggs. Now I am curious!
