Meet Domino

Our little kitten came home a little over a week ago.  After much discussion and debate we decided to name him Domino.  He has 10 spots (5 on each side) a black head and tail.  His nose and ears have the most hair.  The rest of him is covered in a very fine layer of fur sort of like peach fuzz.  He feels a little like suede when you pet him.

The night Domino came home the girls were already in bed (but not asleep).  All his stuff is in the playroom which shares the same wall that Abigail's bed is on.  Domino was meowing as he checked out the room and we heard Abigail "meow" in response from her bed.  SO FUNNY!  Then when I woke her up the next morning she said "Mommy I heard the video of our kitty meowing last night."  When she came out and saw Domino she said "Oh it was Domino, not the video!"

Sweet baby seems to be adjusting fairly well.  He has started playing with some of his toys, his favorites are the laser pointer and a nano bug. Super cool toy! Domino hasn't had any issues, eating, drinking, or using his liter box.  He does like attention and will follow you around meowing if you aren't playing with him or if he's hungry.  If he is resting or sleeping then it's on one of us.  Total cuddle bug!!!  Thankfully he also likes his bed and blanket where he sleeps at night or while we are gone. We find him in there every morning.

Domino had his first bath (with us) on Sunday.  He was a little confused because he has only been bathed in the sink.  We put him in the girls old baby bathtub inside the regular bath tub.  Domino meowed some and tried to climb out a few times, but he didn't do any hissing or scratching.  I expect he'll get more comfortable as he gets used to our house.  And maybe someday we can just go in the bathtub with the girls.  =)


Needless to say we are IN LOVE!!  The girls enjoy having a pet and think it's hysterical to watch him play.  They also insist on giving him kisses before bed/nap.  I love that our kitty can sit on me or my furniture and there is no pet hair left behind.  And no one seems to be having any allergy issues.  YEAH!!

Better pictures coming soon.  My family came over to play last weekend and my mom got a few good shots. =)
