My kitten, Punk

His odd sleeping positions.... also showing
off his beautiful black tabby stripes. <3

To any of you who were wondering, Punk is my ADORABLE new kitten. I mentioned him several times in my last post with the crochet kitten sweater, and I didn't want to leave you guys wondering who the heck he was.

So yeah, he's my 10 week old black tabby kitten. We adopted him from a shelter a couple hours away, and fell in love with him. Punk was originally named Skunk, but my friend and I changed his name to Punk because 1) It's a combo of Skunk and our favorite YouTuber (Parker!) and 2) He acts like a total punk sometimes!

But Punk is unlike other kittens! He was born without a tail, which makes him extra special. We don't know if he had Manx somewhere in his family, but he does have a sister that was born with only half a tail!

In a way, the name Skunk is very fitting for him too. On the way back from the shelter, I guess he was nervous. So, he pooped. In the first five minutes. And then he stepped in it. Boy, was that an adventure! So the whole two hour drive, we had to sit in the smell of his poop. Wasn't that fantastic!

Snowbell (my female older cat) isn't quite sure of Punk. She's being kind of a bully, hissing at him and stuff. So we have him in a room with either my mom or me until he grows a bit bigger and can stand up against Snowbell. Thankfully, the vet says that it will get better between them (tbh Snowbell's awfully shy so.. lol!).

So that's Punk for yah! He's the one of the best cats ever, and we love him to pieces! Have a wonderful, fantabulous day and off I go to an eye appointment (yay...)!
