Moe

Hi!
Today I'm going to talk about my new kitten, Moe. Two weeks ago I came downstairs in the morning, and heard Mama say to Serena, ''Okay, you try to catch it.''

I asked Mama what was going on, and Mama said that there was a little gray tabby kitten in our neighbors bushes.

I ran outside and saw Serena and Angel calling to something in our neighbors bushes.

I couldn't see it, but I sure could HEAR it. It sounded like a siren! MEOW!MEOW!MEOW!MEOW!MEOW!MEOW!MEOW!MEOW!MEOW!MEOW!MEOW! Make that a CONSTANT siren!

We were about to go inside, when I saw a tiny gray head pop out of the bushes. The kitten was soooooo cute!!

After we finally caught the kitten, Mama took it to the vet. They said it was a girl, so we named it Olive. It didn't have fleas, but it did have worms, so the vet gave it deworming medicine.

After a while, when the vet checked Olive for worms, they found out it was a BOY! So we named 'Olive' Moe instead.

Mama put Moe in her room, where we kept our new kitten, Oliver, Odin, and Freya. Moe hid under Mama's bed and would only come out when it was quiet.

I asked Mama if he could stay in my room, were he could gradually overcome his fear of everyone. I took care of Moe, and he became my cat.

Now, when I come into my bedroom, he greets me by running out from a hiding place, or jump from the big white papasan in our room. He'll rub against my legs until I lay down, where he begins to rub his face against mine, or even lick my nose, which makes it hard to breath.

At night, he runs around my room, plays with my feet, and when he feels calm, he'll fall asleep on my chest, or he'll suck on my fingers.

Sometimes Oliver gets in, and Moe and Oliver will wrestle together, and will sleep on the papasan together.

Once in a while, you'll catch Moe climbing up Serena's cubbies or my cubbies, or climbing on our hangers, or on top of the blankets on the top shelf of our closet.

I love my new kitten so much, he's 8 weeks old now. I have so much fun with him. He's my little buddy!

Until next time,
Chiara
