My son was at the flea market Friday and someone had a box of kittens. He texted to ask if he could have one and while waiting for a reply he was holding one. The guy with the box walked off leaving my son and someone else with a kitten. Vet says he is 4 weeks old, not even fully weaned.

A truly illegally smol cat, fuck that guy, and I hope the kitten gets a proper care-filled incarnation.

He is being properly spoiled. And will be very well cared for.

That's very good to hear. We'll need at least an annual update on his progress to reintegration.

Ugh. Fuck the guy with the box. I sure hope you take good care of the kitten.

My house is known as Mr Nocturne's home for wayward animals. He is just one of our rescue animals, and all are treated very well and with much love. We just lost our 20 year old cat, and this little guy (his name is Jethro) will be filling her spot.

1, that's amazing. You are doing such a great thing. And 2, I am sorry for your loss. I hope Jethro grows up big and strong! Keep us in the loop.

😭 So cute. I am late to this event but am so glad you and your son took him in.

Is Jethro a polydactyl? Seems like it from the picture. Also, his triangular face means he needs to put on weight, poor thing.

I have not yet counted, but when i look at his feet i think so. We are giving him milk substitute, and kitten food from the vet soaked with water. Doing our best to give him some bulk. This morning he had to be given water with an eye dropper, but is eating and drinking on his own again.

But does he have fleas?

And while I concur with the people saying the guy is an ass, better to look at it as a win for you. Congratulations

I do not think so. He will be getting another flea bath tomorrow (he got one at the vet's on Friday).

I was only making a stupid joke because you got him at the flea market, but it's still good to be careful. Our cats had a nasty worm problem for a bit due to fleas.

[–] nocturne213 1 points 2 years ago

I missed the joke, but it is something I would have said myself. It is a genuine concern, however, there was a bug on Jethro but my son smashed it and threw it on the floor before I could look and see if it was a flea.

This looks like a dude I know named Jason. You should name it Jason.
