The New Cat Has a Name!

The new kitten has wrapped both myself and my husband around it's little paws. We haven't had a kitten in so long we had forgotten what they were like.

That's OK. We don't need sleep.

We had originally thought to name him Carhartt because his color matched my husband's Carhartt's perfectly but then the kitten started doing something that just lent itself to a perfect name.

It started climbing.

Us.

Yup. Us. It climbs our legs and gets itself up on our shoulders to watch what we are doing. So the kitten is now officially named Sherpa.  The first morning he climbed my hubby to watch him making coffee.




Then he climbed me when I came in from taking care of the goats.




Then he climbed the hubby to nap while he read the paper.





Of course no one should eat their breakfast alone.



Look at that face.....




And the piece de resistance?  The hubby was shaving this morning, sans shirt, when Sherpa climbed up to "supervise."




heh heh

So, we have a climbing kitten who likes to help. Sherpa.

Thanks. He is just the funniest little animal. Runs around like a maniac. Climbs up my leg and sits on my shoulder while I type. Cracks me up!

what a delightful kitten and I just love the photo of him having breakfast!
Sherpa is a lovely name!
(perhaps he is half goat being so adept at climbing??)

Oh my gosh! I didn't see this post until today and I LOVE him! He does that to be close to your face I think--that's what little guys do. Geesh, you are one lucky kitten owner--he is ADORABLE. Give him a smoochie for me.
