Mr D...if the cat really loves him he will probably find presents of dead mice, frogs, shrews and other assorted wild (but dead) things left on his doorstep.
Cats bury their poo.......if litter trained then, in their litter box.....if not under the neighbours geraniums (not very conducive to good relations).....I would suggest litter is best.

I think it was desmond Morris, who thinks he knows everything about animals, who said cats bring prey home because they are trying to teach us how to hunt. Mind you, he also said, "A door is a barrier to a cat." A 3 year old could have worked that one out. :D

I've never minded when the odd, deceased vole has turned up on the doorstep, though my son and daughter-in-law were a bit put out when their 2 elderly cats dragged a seagull through their cat-flap, especially as it was alive. It was rescued and eventually flew off, a bit bedraggled and not a little angry, but it lived to tell the tale.

My eldest daughter has 3 cats, Bianca the ancient white one, who sleeps 22 hours a day, and Bonny and Clyde who are brother and sister. Those 2 will jump from a high surface on to your shoulder, if you point to it, and drape themselves round your neck; very useful in cold weather. You can train cats to do a lot of things but always remember it's a rare cat who will "fetch" like a dog. Throw a stick for a dog and it'll say, "Hang on, I'll get that for you." Throw a stick for a cat and it says, "You threw it away. You fetch it back."

Cats can be very loving and rewarding pets. You don't own them, they own you, but they are loyal and affectionate. If a cat loves you, you are fortunate indeed. :)

I am advised that Less is a highly educated man, (he looks like a classics scholar) so I name this pussycat CLEOPATRA (Cleo for short)

If he doesn't like it, he might give you six of his best.:D

I like Cleo too......the Egyptians made cats their Gods...and cats have never forgotten this.
Less, I hope you will hie yourself off to the local Vet and get your kitten 'done' in good time...otherwise I can see there being kittens in the Buy,Sell Swap Thread.

I am ever so slightly envious of Less getting a new kitten.

It does seem to have managed the drop in standards from were it used to live, and taken to me!:)

I've taken a few but unfortunately they don't show the kitten in it's best light, it has so many subtle colours but only seems to show up as white, which is a shame 'cos it may be a very interesting beast as it grows up.

Mick's better with the camera nag him. :camera8:

My daughter had a cat called Clio (note the i instead of e). Clio was the Greek muse of History who fell in love with a young, mortal man - so there you go, Less.

Most of my cats have been male (neutered) but the present incumbent is called Maddie (short for Madonna). All our cats' names seem to have begun with M - Murphy, Max, Marlon and Mortimer - except Timmy. ;)

Whatever you call your kitten, Less, do as Margaret says and get her spayed or you may end up with a houseful of cats. :D
