This is Fred.
Fred’s mother was found as a pregnant stray by a friend of my daughter. She took his mom in and cared for her and Fred and his siblings when they arrived. Fred will be 2 months old on December 20th.
Yesterday Fred went to his forever home, with my daughter, her husband and their cat, Ollie.
Last night we went over for dinner and had the opportunity to meet our newest grandkit.
My son-in-law is adorable with Fred. He was not raised with any pets, and by the time he met my daughter Ollie was already an older cat.
He won’t pick Fred up because he’s so tiny. Instead he calls to my daughter, Fred’s on the stairs, Fred’s back in his bed.
We were in the kitchen when he said, Fred’s crying.
I said, he might want to use the litter box, sometimes when they are small they cry when they have to go because they’re not sure where to go.
My daughter said, Mom says he might need the litter box, put him in it.
But he won’t pick Fred up.
So my daughter put him in the box and sure enough, he tinkled.
A short time later he cried again and I put him back in the box, I stood there for a few minutes watching him sniff, scratch and squat until he finally pooped.
I was amazed that such a tiny guy could be so particular about where he pooped.
Welcome to the family Fred George (and yes, he’s named after the Weasley twins from Harry Potter, two of my daughters are twins.)
Have you ever watched an animal take great care with something fairly ordinary? Please share.
