It followed me home, Ma, honest
 

Guess you're never too old for that line to work. My DH went off to hunting camp this weekend to get things ready - and found a momma cat and 4 kittens living in the shed. He fed them, naturally, but only this little one came to him for some loving. So...of course she had to come home. She's in the office at home, with a vet appointment this afternoon to get her checked out before introducing her to our other 2 cats. We've named her Katniss - with the 100% vote of our DGDs - who are all big on the Hunger Games books. She is a real sweetie - and so is hubby !!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]366880[/ATTACH]

How cute!! Love calicos!!

Love the kitty and the husband is a keeper.

Both are definitely keepers!!!! Katniss looks like a polydactyl and is too cute to leave alone.

a couple of sweetie pies!!

Cute kitty!

Very cute Kitty. Great Husband. A shame the others couldn't be saved also. I always have my newest checked out too. I have four that was found and saved.

She is beautiful. Looks like carmel candy colors to me.

What a curie!

OMlG my son brought one home that looks almost like yours except she is a bit lighter in the face. He calls her Tiger but I am calling her Houdini because she can get out of the shed that we keep her in the back yard! He was house sitting for his sister on Memorial Day weekend and this little ball of fur was obviously abandoned and in the corner of her yard. She was barely eating on her own but is now doing really good and growing fast.

Give her big hugs from me

Awww ... all three are keepers (the hubby, the kitty and name (in that order <g>))!!

And I agree with above poster ... she looks like a polydactyl (extra digit on front left foot).

Cute kitty and I love that name for her.

Love calico kittens.....lovely name.....great husband!

So sweet of your good husband to adopt this kitten. Hope he took the others to a shelter or something.

Sweet story! I love calico kitties!

how wonderful another furbaby saved ! woo hooo .. Hope the vet check comes back good and you enjoy a long life with Katniss and your other kittys !

What a pretty little girl. You are married to wonderful man. :thumbup:

As an added note - he just wasn't able to get near or catch the others - they were already fairly feral even at so young an age. For some reason, this little one proved the old saying "you don't pick a cat, a cat picks you". Camp is in the hill country - in the midst of a cattle / sheep ranch - so lots of "natural" food around. Mom seemed to be doing fairly well taking care of them - so hopefully - even if they are wild kitties, they will be ok. We both have to accept that he did what he could do. Vet check was good - waiting for FIV and leukemia test results today.

OOOOOOOh I love her. so cute

I wish there were more people in the world like you too! Sweet story.

A good man!

He did a wonderful thing!! They both look very happy together.

She is beautiful...you guys will be extra blessed for opening your home and hearts to this cute baby. Enjoy her..

She's a doll. My husband would have done the same thing! Looks like we are both lucky enough to have keepers.

What a cutie kitty....

what precious stories. I'm not a cat person, and once was terrified of them. No longer in that state of mind, thank goodness. Now I can enjoy seeing and petting them.

What a lovely story... and what a lucky kitty!

Hugs

Awwww.. agree.. calico's are special.. loved my tabbies.. but this one is sweet !

She is a cutie! Your hubby is a keeper. Anyone who rescues a little kitten is A-OK in my book.

How adorable, enjoy your new addition. :)

Both are very fine. I'd keep both too.

Katniss is the perfect name for this precious little furball. Please tell your DH thank you for taking care of this little angel!

She is adorable!

I agree, see those extra toesies peeking out!! She is special!

Such a cute furbaby, and I agree the husband is a keeper.

Lucky kitten to have found a great loving home.

You just can argue when a cat chooses you!

A man with a heart. S-weeeeeet.

Sweet Katniss and sweeter DH!!
