About 4 weeks old. Very healthy and happy now after a week indoors. Her
feral momma seemed to have forgotten her, and we found her while cleaning
up old junk in the yard.


Oh, my goodness! Could there *be* anything more adorable?

I've added some new photos, one of her eating, one "helping" me in the
kitchen, and one of her cuddled on the sheepskin under my desk. There's
also a 4 second movie (1MB, QuickTime) of her playing with my hand.

I really think you need to clean up that area. There seems to be a lot of
cords and cables this cat could get tangled up in and possibly get hurt or
choke.

Unfortunately that's true of any modern house (at least if you have more
than one video source on your TV, for example), but I just did a major
rearrangement. My concern wasn't with choking, but with chewing. I got her
a bunch of toys with similar chewing characteristics but they look quite
different, to keep her distracted. So far it seems to be working.

That is a cute kitten. However, choking on cords really *is* a problem (in
addition to the chewing problem). Here are a couple of possible solutions:
(1) Computer stores sell flexible "shells" or hoses (not the correct word, I
know) with a slit along one side so that several cords can be pressed into
the shell. It's neater and contains the cords in what becomes one length of
hose. (2) If you have too many cords or that solution is awkward to use,
how about placing the "snakes nest" of hoses in an attractive container and
place something over the top to serve as a lid? A large flower-pot would do
the job, or you could probably build a cube out of plywood with a hole in
the side that is large enough for the cords but too small for the kitten to
enter (possibly even several holes for different cords).
