Introducing Sir Arthur Kittington III

This is Arthur.

Arthur was adopted on Friday night, from a farm near my parent's house. He was an orphan. Unfortunately, his mother was hit by a car about 3 weeks ago.Arthur has two sisters, who are also in need of loving homes: 

Having come from a farm, with no mom, he was quite dirty when I brought him home. First thing we did was take a bath.

Arthur was a trooper and didn't make a peep the entire time.

Saturday morning, he had his first outing, a trip to the vet. He was great there too. I guess having spent the past five years with Walter, and getting used to him hating everything, it surprises me that a kitten would be ok with these things.While we don't know exactly how old Arthur is, the vet thought he looked about 7 weeks. He weighs about 12 ounces and is basically pure fluff. I got Walter when he was about 8 weeks, and Arthur is much much smaller than Walter was as a kitten. But we all know how big Walter grew up to be!

We spent the rest of the afternoon playing and napping. 

Arthur even got his own red cube to match his big brother Walter! 

 Arthur got to meet his big brother Walter too! I had planned on keeping the two of them completely separate until next weekend. I wanted to make sure Arthur was healthy and couldn't get Walter sick, and I wanted to make sure Walter had plenty of time to adjust. However, that thought was quick lived, as soon as I realized I felt bad for one or the other, as I could only spend time with one at a time, and a door got left open, Walter came in, and nothing bad happened. So now they are in the same room as long as they are being supervised.

 At first, Walter was scared. 

But Walter adjusted quickly. He hissed at Arthur a few times, then became disinterested. Went off and did his own thing. Now if his curiosity is spiked, Walter will just walk up to Arthur and basically just sit around and watch him. After Walter got over his initial shock, it was Arthur that was afraid of Walter. Arthur hissing and Walter, and Walter getting scared and running away is one of the cutest things that has happened thus far. 

Arthur had to have a second bath today, because he is not very good at eating, and he still had a faint barn smell to him. 

Unfortunately, he was not as compliant as he was the first time. And, unfortunately for him, he was too tiny to climb out of the sink!  Hopefully he won't need anymore after today. 

Today was more of the same. Arthur napping on me, Walter napping in his usual spots...

 Arthur is already much more playful today than yesterday! They grow up so fast! Which means, everyone should come experience his adorableness before he grows up!!
