Hey everybody!

This is Mikha. I adopted her today from a shelter. Her mom was a ferral cat. Mikha was the smallest in her litter and was born missing her front right leg. I've had her for just over a couple hours now and she's already hid under the dresser, tried to climb up my leg to get onto the bed and meowed non stop for 45 mins. :P

Here is a link to a picture of her from the website of the place I adopted her from http://photocache.petfinder.com/fotos/ON46/ON46.19516057-1-x.jpg

Sounds like that little baby is hungry and/or still looking for mom LOL

she was born march 19th, i\ve got her kibbles and wet food out and her bowl of water all set up. she's been eating away all day. she's only a pound. such a cutie though and i don't think she likes the bed i worked very hard to construct for her :P

It might sound silly but a cat carrier with a warm blanket/heating pad put in it will make her feel somewhat safer than a "big new place" would. I know when I brought my cat home for the first time for a shelter she liked chilling in the carrier I brought her home in...though not so much anymore LOL

what a doll , I have a 3 legged chihuahua ( well the right front leg is very tiny and deformed) and he has no idea he has a handicap! Just give her time to adjust cats are nervous by nature , and she is so little ! She is beautiful!

!@#$%&* adorable. Glad my fiance isn't awake to see this. we have 3 already haha. One was adopted from a big box store, one was a giveaway and one was left in the men's room at the local home depot :/ Love those eyes! Most black cats seem to have green or gold eyes, in my experience.

I embedded the pic. hope that's okay.

Cute as hell lol. GIANT head :)

His eyes will probably change color as he matures. Most baby animals are born with "blue" eyes like that.

I think she was just tired yesterday. she meowed all night and climbed my suitcase and then tried to climb up the side of my bed. i didn't want her on my bed because it's a good 3 feet off the ground and i didn't want her to fall off or get stuck between the mattresses and the bedframe. this morning she got me up at 6 meowing again, silly girl. and then i brought her up onto the bed after clearing her off a half to see if she would settle down, nope, she thought then would be a good time to get crazy hyper and start attacking my hands and knees and the blankets. she's such a sweetheart.

She has the shoulder joint but no leg, it's kind of interesting, she'll try to move her shoulder as if there was a leg there, like when she's playing, it's really neat to watch. later today I'll try to take some more pictures of her, but in the meantime i hope she isn't tearing apart my room

Any name ideas?

[Wolfus_305]

Mikha-may (Mike-ah) like those shiny black rocks that you can peel into layers :)

[stephanbakir]

Interesting choice! Are you still going to miss the expo?

[Wolfus_305]

unfortunately yes i am. between family drama, finding a job and working for my aunt i have no time for anything *sigh* it's probably better as i would only spend hundreds of dollars and then be told to move back to school :P

[stephanbakir]

Put all your money in your pocket and give yourself a 3 layer duck-tape belt to keep it there:P

[Wolfus_305]

ahahah knowing myself i would never be able to get out of those pants thanks to the duct tape

[stephanbakir]

We can't have that:P

Is there a way for me to put a video in this thread (straight from my computer, it's not on youtube)? I have a short video of Mikha-may playing and running around
