So Ryan's wanted a kitten ever since we've gotten Mozart, our other cat, because she isn't as playful as he wanted her to be. So we've been on the waiting list at the vet clinic for a kitten. Well last Friday we got a call from my friend Leah who's a technician there that there was a kitten coming in later that day. So she called us when he got there and decided to take him home. I guess a momma cat had 4 kittens that she left on some one's saw dusk hill on base and only came back for 3 of the kittens, so he was left there for a few hours. So the people brought him to the vet. Well we had to take him out in town to see a vet because the vet wasn't in here on base. So we take him out in town to get his eyes looked at because most Japanese cats get this respiratory infection that causes their eyes to gunk up and glue shut. So we take him out in town and the vet there speaks VERY small English, and he says that he might be blind. So we got really upset because we weren't quite sure if we could handle a blind 4-5 week old, but on Sunday we got him to play around and he's not blind, his eyes just opened a while ago and doesn't have the best eyesight yet. So his name is Spartacus and is so cute! Mozart isn't quite sure if she likes him yet, but she's slowly getting there.

Oh Spartacus, you remind me of Seven and Skittles playing around. Welcome to the family.
I like the name Spartacus! He looks like a cute cat. I'm glad he isn't blind.
