Funny what shows up on the side of the lawn...
Tuesday night, Lake and I were eating on our patio, when suddenly, he said, "Hey what's that???" There was something watching us from the side of the lawn! I got up to get a closer look, but he ran away as soon as he saw me move...

The next night, as we were once again having supper on the deck, the kitty came back! The poor thing was probably hungry, so we set out some food for it. I think it was then that the little one adopted us. Thursday morning and night, he was back, and by Thursday night he was rubbing up against our hands and legs. If you look over his left eye, you'll see a little white streak - it almost looks like he rubbed himself in wet paint. That streak is the source of his name : Vinci!

PixieSprite, if he'll let you, get him to the vet and make sure all is well. He is adorable...make sure he's healthy, too.
We had a similar experience...she's a loving member of our family now.  |

Actually, last night he was sneezing quite a bit and when he tried to meow, no sound would come out... This morning when we got up he was wheezing and rasping when he was trying to breathe, so Lake and I brought him in to the vet. Turns out it's an upper respiratory tract infection, so the vet gave us antibiotics for him and after having only one dose, he's already looking and sounding much better. While we were there we got him checked for feline leukemia too, and that test came out negative (thank god!). The vet said she estimates him to be about 2 1/2 to 3 months old, but he's only 2 1/2 lbs - he probably hadn't had much to eat in his life so far, poor thing

Last night Vinci was comfortable enough with us that he let us bring him into the house. He immediately made himself comfortable! Now, as soon as one of us lies down, Vinci runs over and snuggles up - and you should hear him purr!!!!!!!!

PixieSprite,
One of our inside cats followed the children home from school 4 years ago. Loper isn’t as cute as Vnci is, but he’s been a member of the family ever since his arrival. Enjoy!

It looks like you have a new friend. Enjoy the many funny times that lie ahead. Pets are a wonderful addition to any family.

I love the pic of him lying with Lake. Looks like he's so satisfied with his choice of parents!

Good on ya both for taking in the stray and caring for him. He's adorable! I'm so glad to hear the feline leukemia test was negative.
