This kitten kneads NONSTOP.
He is in his carrier kneading right now, lol...
I woke up hearing him crying around 5am, so I went to my office to check up on him. I ended up sleeping for another hour beside the carrier with my arm inside, which he promptly kneaded, then fell asleep on.
I've already seen him have some water and food this morning, so I think he is going to be just fine. He just needs to gain some confidence.
I did notice a bump on the very last joint of his tail, where it may have been previously broken/kinked. It is barely noticeable, so I don't mind - I just hope it wasn't something that happened yesterday during his trip.
My boyfriend said one of his online friends used to work for Continental, and that she saw people being pretty rough whenever they handled animal carriers, so that is something else I hope he didn't have to experience. No wonder he's a little timid.
I can tell he wants to play though, and he will paw and bite at toys. He even scratched at the big kitty tree this morning.
I'll try to get some photos of him later for you guys. I have to finish this cup of coffee before I can move anywhere.
Also, I need a name for him!!! I want something within three syllables, that ends in an "eee" sound if I can find one. My other cat's names are Sasami (sah-sah-mee) and Kinomi (ki-no-mee), and of course there was Yuki... (you-kee).
So many choices!
