Gabriel

Gabriel is doing wonderful.  He was a little skittish the first day but by the second day he was letting us carry him all over and sleeping with the kids.  He is even warming up to the dog.  It's funny because he will often by dozing off and the dog will be right by him and he'll open an eye, see the dog and freak out like he didn't realize the dog was there the whole time.  He is also a BIG eater, which is good and he uses his litter box just fine as well.  He loves to play with his feather and wand toys.  He carries the big pole thing around and it's so cute because he's 1/4 of it's size.  We all really love him.
He really never even cried at night which I thought he might, he just suggles up with the kids and sleeps.  I'll try to send some pictures when we send hi neuter paperwork so you can see how he's growing.  He's a great kitten, very friendly and loving.  We feel fortunate to have found him!  Thanks for checking in.
He will get his neuter and declaw in March sometime.  The vet will look when he gets his shots in February to see how his male parts are maturing.  He definiatly likes to claw things, mainly the furniture but I spray him with a water bottle when he does it and he's getting a tad better.  He really isn't a fan of his clawing tree thingy he much prefers the tweed fabric of the couch, ha ha!
