My Baby ❤️❤️

I have never been a cat person, rather I have never had a liking for any pets, be it fishes or birds or dogs or cats. Whenever there was a family discussion about acquiring a pet I would always put my foot down. But on Sunday, when I reached back home from work, I was in for a surprise. I found out that our family had expanded to include one more member….a cute little kitten.

He was sitting timidly in his basket, looking out warily at us. Occasionally he would just let out a little meow. With his beautiful grey eyes, soft white and grey fur, his small meow, he immediately made his way into my heart. Now I found myself a mother to not just two lovely girls, but also to a sweet little kitten who was just around a month old. After a round of discussions, he was named “Coffee”.

Now I have never had any pets. So I am completely ignorant about how to raise a kitten. Thanks to technology however, whatever information we seek is just a click away. After asking Google we realised that having a cat means getting a lot of supporting paraphernalia.

The one which seemed to top the list was a litter box. So immediately, we set out to get one. The litter box was filled with litter, and I started taking him to it to familiarise him. But he didn’t seem very interested in it, and always tried to get away from it.

But what worried us more was that Coffee seemed to be fasting. We had prepared the formula milk as advised, but he refused to drink even one drop. We would try to bring it close to his mouth but he would just sniff and walk away. Otherwise, he was pretty active, running around, climbing and jumping over chairs, exploring all the corners. He even figured out how to open his basket and jump out. 

We had to wait for one full day after which he slowly started taking a few sips. We were so relieved when he finally started eating. And then, he started using his litter box too, much to our surprise and disbelief. We hadn’t expected him to be toilet trained already! 

Coffee likes to climb over us and play. After playing for a while, he slowly snuggles down to take a nap. He loves being the centre of attention, being the youngest in our family. And we love having him around. 

Sending a meow from Coffee to my lovely Os.me family !!! 🐱💖💖
