I have homework. This is not what I'm supposed to be doing. But he's purring so loud! 😳

I have good news and bad news.

I have good news and bad news.

Good news:  Kitten is a healthy 3-month old baby boy.  Dr. Long de-wormed him and treated him for fleas.  We'll go back for shots in a couple of weeks if he hasn't found his owners or a new home.  I've been calling him "Lemur" or "Zoboomafoo" because of his ridiculously long tail.

Bad news:  My Calculus book was delayed, so that sucks.  One of my classmates sent me a pic of the page our homework problems are on so I will work from that, but it's not my favorite.  🙁  I want my book!

Also, as a precaution I have to keep Zoboo away from my cats for a week.  Blegh.  I guess he'll be in my bedroom.  (Sarcastic) yay.

Guess who woke me up.

Tort Baby.

They may not vocalize like other animals, but trust me when I say that they can get your attention when they want it. LOL

Someone is ready for his salad.

That's ok. I napped a little. My head hurts. Gonna take some Tylenol, get everyone fed, and try to get on with this day.

I don't know if I slept more than 2.5 hours.

I don't know if I slept more than 2.5 hours. The kitten eventually shut up, but I woke up at 3 and I don't think I slept more than that, though I laid there trying. Pretty sure it's the Celexa keeping me up. 😕

I have been taking one melatonin gummy, but tonight I take 2.

I've got a house full of crying babies and I just don't care. Beau is mad that I've been feeding him in a crate. That means he can't run around eating from everyone's bowl anymore. So he's whining and barking. Lemur Cat is meowing, of course, because I'm not in the room holding and petting him. And I'm on the couch, away from it all because I think I need a nap. I can't do anything feeling like this. Blegh.

Kitten pics!

Finally, a good shot of his face.

The tail on this one! Like he's a dang Lemur or something! (I know the perspective is weird, but he's never still!)

Looks like it's going to be a long night.

Looks like it's going to be a long night. Baby cat freaks out if so much as one person leaves the room. 😕 We needed to go to Wal-Mart (I was low on cat litter before he ended up here), so we left him in my bedroom with the door shut. He promptly panicked and tried to cram himself through the gap under my door. 🙁

Ended up crating him so he wouldn't rip up my floor, hurt himself, or reach my cats under the door. He's been screaming since before we left and since we got home.

I don't have any great solution; the last time I brought home kittens they got sick - as did some of my adult cats with some sort of cold. It was awful. So I want to keep him quarantined, but I don't have a cat-safe room, really. The best I've got is my bedroom, but I have my tarantula, ball python, and horned lizards in there. I don't exactly want a kitten loose in there - not to mention the fact that I'm allergic to cats so I don't want him all over my stuff.

Anyway. Little Long Tail is safe and fed, but not necessarily happy. He meowed / growled when he ate, cried when he pooped, and feels a little thin. Hopefully I can have him seen soon and hopefully he settles in. I was doing great on my schedule and want to keep my momentum. Already a little late making it to bed, but I'm turning in soon.

Goodnight, friends. Wish me some sleep, please!

On my way home from class and...

Just found this thing in the median on 431 in front of the Mapco near Winn-Dixie. Tried to grab him when no traffic was coming and he ran across the road. Turned around to get on the other side of the road and when I got close enough to see him I sat down and called him. Thankfully, the traffic was big and scary and he came to me after deliberating and crying about it for a few minutes.

Super lovey, vocal, really long tail, unsure of gender. (Will check later.) Was hungry and thirsty. No idea if he belongs to someone (posted in Happy Tails) but if unclaimed, will need a home. I already have 10 cats. Will help with spay or neuter.
