First kitten (probably)
Discussion
Got an appointment to view a kitten at the local cats protection on Monday (whichever one is left from a litter of 4, 3 viewings before us), can't believe whatever it looks like the kids won't immediately fall in love with it, so as long as it doesn't attack us will go for it.
My wife and I both had cats as children, but as the responsible one now want to check I do as much as we can to ease the transition.
If we go for it, we don't pick it up for a couple of weeks, browsing old threads someone mentioned leaving clothing with our smell with the kitten? I asked the shelter but the girl manning the phone didn't know, is it worth trying to do?
We have a cat flap into the utility, need to get litter tray and litter, bed, food (recommendations?) scratching post? Anything else?

Whatever happened to encouraging imagination? 
Whatever happened to sweeping assumptions, oh nothing. 
She came up with many names from ridiculous to funny and regular etc. but currently likes the one she has an association with, quite normal for young children I believe.
Once you said where she'd got it from I understood Minor set back, after being told kitten would be ready today / tomorrow, they've just called to say the vet thinks he's younger than they first thought so won't be neutered etc until next week. Ready hopefully for the weekend. Got to tell 2 super excited kids they've got another week to wait when I get home...

How old is he then? I thought CPL usually give a voucher for neutering
He doesn't look old enough to e neutered to me to be honest
What did you get in the end, toy wise? My best purchase was a cat tree
Well there's a bit of a story, after a long and confusing phone conversation with CPL turned out we're adopting from blue cross all along...He doesn't look old enough to e neutered to me to be honest

I can't remember how many weeks old they said, but you're right, vet said another week, and that photo was from nearly 2 weeks ago.
We've got a cat tree, mouse on a string, tassels on a stick and string and 5 small balls to lose under the furniture.
