Dammit, I Am *NOT* a Cat Person!

lol. I'd feed him some canned food, as others here have mentioned, until he gets a bit older. Feed him half a can at most though. What does he do to make you do the flip flop between Feral/Not feral?

"Hey You" is adorable!

I really think you have always been a cat person and are just coming to that reality now!

Looking forward to more pics.

Forgot to mention: Saw someone out walking while I was taking him to nearby homes, and she said she thinks he looks about 8 weeks old. Not sure of how much difference that makes.

Gonna need some better photos.

Napping on my chest right now. I'll wake him up for better pics in a little bit.

Get some KMR and mix it in with regular kitten food so it gets mushy. Itll put weight on him quickly.

I'm going to hold off until tomorrow night, and only get a small amount at a time. His behavior makes me flip-flop between "he's a feral/not a feral". I don't know enough about cats to be able to tell for sure.

Enjoy your new cat, he's going to make you miserable with love and squees!

As long as he doesn't already belong to somebody else.

Awwww he's adorable Ped. So... What's his name? ;p

Until nobody claims him for several days, it's "Hey you!" I'm strenuously trying to avoid getting attached, and then have to return him to somebody else.

Aw, he's cute! I don't know enough about raising babies. My cats were 7 weeks and already on regular food when we brought them home.

Cute doeesn't seem like it says enough, does it?

Adorable baby kitteh. The kitten food should be fine, I'd think.

We'll hope so. he just woke up whileI was typing this. Time to get some better pics.

He looks big enough for kitten food, judging by that photo. If you have any canned food, that would be even better for the first couple weeks. If all else fails, boil some kind of lean meat (like chicken), let it cool, then chop/shred it into tiny bites. That should at least get him through the night.

Also, my husband says you are clearly a cat person and you just don't know it yet.

[It's me]

Aw, he's a cutie.

Looks bit enough for kitten food... if you don't have any canned food to add to to it you can add a bit of warm water to to make the dry stuff a bit mushy for the little guy. Don't give him milk (some cats don't tolerate cow's milk very well).

So, why is this little fuzzball making me want to keep him around?

He's so small he almost fits in my shirt pocket. Cute as all hell. And I don't really want to make the posters to announce that we found him.

We found him just off our driveway tonight, right as a huge thunder/lightning storm was hitting. Somehow, SO heard him. I took him around to the nearby homes, since I don't think he could have gotten far. Everybody seems to think he's one of the ferals that live under a trailer down the street.

I'm not convinced he's feral, though. He's completely unafraid of me, the SO, or our two dogs. These are not typical feral behaviors. He's clean, and the worst that can be said is that he seems like he might be a little skinny (not being a cat person, I don't know for sure).

I'm going to make the posters. If he has a home already, I don't want to deprive him of that. I just want to keep him warm and safe overnight. If he didn't have a home before, well, it seems like he does now. The bastard. Making me want to keep him.

So, considering size and appearance, do the cat people think he's okay with regular kitten food? Since we used to have a ferret, we have some. If that's enough, then I'll go with that for tonight. If it's not, let me know so I can get something better, please. I don't want him starving, especially not when I can do something about it.
