A Rescued Kitten

Several weeks ago, we noticed two kittens on the trail by our house.  There was no mama cat around and they hadn't been there prior to this.  It led us to believe that these poor little kittens were dumped.  I took them food several times before deciding to try to catch one of them.  He was kinda leery of the kitty carrier, but the want of food outweighed it.  The other kitten was about to get in the kitty carrier as well, but the first one started growling at it, so it backed off.  I was able to shut the door of the kitty carrier and we rescued the one that got in.  A neighbor of ours caught the other one a couple weeks later, so they are both being well taken care of. 

Our boys loved helping me catch this little guy and just adore him.  We named him, Bandit, since his face markings look kind of like a mask as well as the fact that he stole our hearts.  He has the loudest purr I've ever heard.  Of course that might just be because our full grown cat, Oscar,  has the absolutely quietest purr I've ever heard from a cat.

At first we weren't sure we were going to be able to keep Bandit, because Oscar wasn't very happy with another cat being in the house.  It took less than a week for Oscar to get used to Bandit and now they are best of friends.
