The Kitty Has a Name

Yep, as of August 11, my kitty has been formally named Desmond. Formally, because that's when I took him into the vet for a check-up and he went from " " to Desmond in their records. He doesn't quite look like a Desmond now, but when he's older I'm sure he will. I just hope I don't think "cat" every time I see Desmond on Lost!

This kitty is crazy, but I'm told that's what one can expect with having a kitten. So far, little Des has tried to run up both of my legs, he has scaled the barricades I've erected to keep him from going to other parts of my home, and has generally been a rambunctious dude. However, the best thing about him is that he plays fetch! I was certain he was the only cat in the world who plays fetch, and a quick search of the internet confirms that he is indeed unique....as unique as thousands of other cats in the world. Oh well. It's still quite fun playing with him, as all I do is throw him a toy mouse and he runs back with the mouse in his mouth. The great thing is that I didn't teach it to him. And people think dogs are smart...
