Cuteness overload. Yesterday we welcomed Snowball to the family. We think about 4 to 5 weeks old. The dog has been very curious about her and after the first day, he has been following her around and taking care of her, looking out for her. It's neat, his instinct kicked in. Praying that Snowball will be a gentle loving soul.

Congrats, she looks great. Nothing better than a new kitten, I have 2 that I had more or less since the day they were born, they're 4 now, I love them to bits. The best advice I can give is to remember that when kittens are going crazy and bouncing off things in the middle of the night, they run out of energy after about 20 minutes, and then sleep for hours afterwards, so even if it's annoying at times, the crazy session never lasts too long.
 
Never had a cat, how does the specs compare to dogs?
Cat: Poop cleanup is once a day you go to a box and scoop it into a bag.

Dog: Go walk around outside until it finds the right spot, then you pick up that poop and carry it 4-10 blocks back home. Repeat 5 or so times a day regardless of weather.

Haha! My dog sniffs around for 15 minutes like he's tasting fine wines only before finally deciding to curl and poop. He an aristocrat.
 
Sweet little Snowball :thumbsup: Congrats to you both!

Where did you aquire the little cutie? I only ask cuz most adoption places won't split them up from mom til about 6 weeks minimum.

At any rate your home shall not ever be the same as it was pre Snowball, and we will be looking forward to all the pics that should be now filling up your phone over in TBs Ultimate Cat Thread :)

Take a pic daily if possible... They grow so fast! & you'll be glad you have some in later years.

My wife got our dear departed cats back before smartphones made it easy to take unlimited pics, and unfortunately, she doesn't have any pics of them as kittens. Despite having a million pics of them as adults, it kills me that I don't know what they looked like as kittens.
 
Awww, she looks like a sweetly. Me and my gf got a couple kittens relatively recently too. Our first, a tuxedo named Milhouse, came to us on New Year's Day when he was only a week or 2 old. He came from a negligent home and was infested with ringworm which ended up covering my girlfriend, but we eventually got them both cleared up. Our second, a grey tabby we named Maebee came to us back in May. She was found by a friend in a Dairy Queen parking lot. When we got her not only did she have the most rancid gas ever, but Milhouse was not having it. Her name partly came because we were unsure if we were going to be able to keep her due to how negatively it was effecting Milhouse. He eventually came around and we got the gas situation settled which turns out was being caused by worms that she had acquired from eating crickets in the DQ parking lot. Now we're all just a happy family.

I got an 8 by 10 of the first pic, and I'm putting it in a personalized frame for her to hang on her (its my 9 year olds cat) wall.
