A dear friend of ours just adopted a kitten. It’s been a long time since I’ve hung out with a kitten. Most of my cats have come to me as adults. So we couldn’t resist hanging out in kitten chaos the other night. Carlos, whose home and toys have been invaded, is a perfect gentleman cat, providing patience beyond expectation.
