Sergeant Pepper

There is a new addition to my house. It is an 8-wk old kitten named Sergeant Pepper, or Sarge, or Pepper for short. We found Pepper in a storm drain last Thursday. He was in there crying and so I laid in the middle of a busy intersection and reached down and grabbed him. It was totally safe. Anyways, now Pepper lives in me and Kathryn's room. We don't know if it is a boy or a girl yet because its junk is still too small to tell but we will find out tomorrow when we bring him/her to the vet. So far we have assumed he is a boy because he is weird.

Pepper has three main behaviors (cuddly, ornery, and absolute freak) and he can switch from one to the other in an instant. Usually ornery happens when we ignore him and then he will meow fiercely until you pick him up or pet him. If the ignoring continues, he will go into freak mode where he does anything and everything to be noticed. This includes clawing his way up the side of Kathryn's bed then up the back of my desk chair and finally perching himself on my shoulder. Also, he is very cuddly at night but when he wakes up at 7AM he is hyper. This morning I woke up to him playing rambunctiously in my covers on top of me. Also, at night he likes to try curl up in a ball in between my neck and chin and becomes very forceful when not allowed to do so. I love the kitty.
