MY NEW KITTEN
I have a new kitten, a male orange tabby. It was left to me by a neighbor who moved away. He is frisky and plays all the time, but he's a kitten after all. Nice thing is that he's got soft paws -- he keeps his claws retracted when he catches your leg plays with you. I named him Samsung because my neighbor was a Thai who had a long name that begins with something sounding like that. He also left me a semi-feral female cat who stays outside. Nothing new here because that old, black cat already stays and sleeps in my yard all the time. I made a little protected sleeping area for her although it never rains in southern California. I now have three cats. Come to think of it, all the dogs, cats, and other pets I've had were either left with me or came to my door and stayed. I have never looked for pets but they come to me all the time. I haven't had a bad one yet.
