I think I have "sucker" on my forehead...

Meet Bean, he's about 11 weeks old.  He is the only survivor of a late season barn kitten litter (mom dumped them at the feed shed and she was done, I tried to save all 3, but the other two were too weak); I've been feeding him milk replacer for over 6 weeks, probably 7 or 8, since I started in the barn before bringing to the house about 5-6 weeks ago.  The vet aged him at about 10 weeks last week when she was out to preg-check cows.  He's not quite as big as he looks, he was sitting on my lap when I took the picture.
[We already had 4 house cats, three were barn kittens that weren't going to make it without help.]

Did I share a scraggly pic with you?  I don't remember that.

OMG!  Found it.  I had put Beans first couple pics in the Barn cat album in my files, not the House Cat files, no wonder I forgot.      He's house cat now.
Here's a scraggly Bean pic from shortly after he came in.

I think it's so cool he's a house cat now with special status!!  Good boy, Bean!!!

I'm a complete sucker, and some times Shayne gets suckered in. 

And, the cat that wouldn't stop peeing in the house was demoted to porch cat, where he now has his own "bunk house" complete with thermo-regulated bed; and he loves is his little house and heated mat (but, would still prefer to be a house cat).  [We've tried, we couldn't break him of his bad habit.]

Hi Bean!!  Good to see he's doing so very well on the replacer.  I see a touch of Siamese in the shape of his eyes and the fact they're a bit cross-eyed. 🥰  My grandmother that bred
German Shepherds also bred Siamese.  Does he chat to you?  Or have any affinity for water?

Also, I don't consider it being suckered.  You did like the semi-pro shopping ladies did when I worked at Cato. (A women's fashion store.)  One bag in, one bagol out.  The difference is that you did it with cat's. 😆

I envy the bunkhouse kitty.  I wouldn't mind bunking with him for a couple of weeks....laying on a comfy heated mat, have my meals catered, and looking out onto a Big Sky Vista.  Even in winter, Montana is lovely.
