Yesterday, we toook Jacob into the vet's to be neutered and he came back today. They also treated him for an abcess that was under his tail (or what's left of it...). He's resting comfortably in my room (on my bed...) and the kitten has started to trust me and my b/f quite a bit.
Thanks to Jacob, the kitten (a girl, btw) is more accepting of us and actually allowed me to pet her and even pick her up. I dubbed her Jasmine...
. by the time i discovered she was a girl, she was already used to the name, so zachary she stayed.
