RESCUED ANIMAL!
Seeing as PoD has forsaken her blog for "Crackbook" [facebook], I want to update the progress of the new hellion in her house...BOOG!
In early June, we rescued this poor little kitten who was left to defend for himself, outside in the big and scary world!
When I first saw him hiding under one of the many cars in my back yard, I was amazed to see that someone could leave something so small...to defend for it's self! He sounded so pitiful, my heart just went out to him! All of my coaxing was for naught as he was too scared to trust me and I had to wait for PoD to arrive before he would come out. She has a way of making "Mommy Cat" sounds that helped to encourage the little guy to see that safety was nearby. PoD was finally able to pick him up...it was love at first sight!
There was no way I could keep him as my two cats wouldn't of allowed it! PoD had a easy going cat, Maxie, at home so she figured they would get along....she was right. Maxie became his new mommy. He even tried to nurse off of him which didn't impress Maxie too much!

Giving him a name was hard. My suggestion was to call him "Orca" because of his coloring and the fact that someone tried to do a "Free Willy" on him! But Pod couldn't bring herself to call him Orca or Orkie...it didn't sound cute enough for her...so she eventually ended up calling him "Boog" or when he gets into mischief..."Booger"
When we found him we knew that he wasn't too old...definitely not old enough to be out on his own and PoD wanted to make sure that he was "fixed" so he would want to stay home. She had lost one earlier to the "I want to make babies syndrome" and wasn't about to make the same mistake with this one!
Cat Fact:
Cats, male or female, cannot be spayed or neutered until they are six months old so Pod took him to the vet to figured out his age and get his shots. She found out that he was only a little over 3 months! The vet told her that they would have to wait for his "second fang" to come out before they could do the procedure and they showed her what it would look like.
This second fang comes out when they are 6 months old and this what it looks like.
This weekend it finally showed!
She also noticed that he was starting the "mounting" faze on Maxie and that clued her into checking for the fang.
So it's off to the vet just as soon as she can get an appointment!
