Rocky the Ragdoll

We are now the owners of a male kitten who we brought home a week ago. He is 14 weeks old and here's how it happened. A has been wanting a kitten for a long time. I was reluctant because I have never had an indoor pet before that lived outside of a fishbowl. I've had rabbits, chickens and even a stray cat that used to come for scraps, but never an indoor animal. In addition, I had my previous pets when I was a child myself, I have never had my own 2 young children and a pet at the same time!

Naturally, when he had a discussion with the children about this kitten that was coming to live with us, there was no going back. He had done his research, spoken to a friend who is a cat owner, decided on the breed, and found a breeder. All while I was visiting my parents and siblings in Dubai. 

So far he has just been adorable. The day we brought him home he was terrified little bundle of fur and cried a lot for the next 2 days. Then he became very attached to A. On days 4 and 5 he became comfortable in his new home and was exploring every item in every room in the house but was still afraid of the children. And now he has stopped hiding, the children are very affectionate towards him and he returns the affection.
