Kitten, Continued, Continued

The kitten has an appointment with the Vet tomorrow morning. Several new signs had been posted in the neighborhood this morning, but all were in search of another cat entirely.

He's very friendly and affectionate, but he also seems very self-motivated — he likes to be with people, but doesn't feel it's necessary to cling to them. (Even now, he's sitting on the opposite side of the room.) This behavior has me somewhat puzzled — I've had a great deal of experience with kittens over the past several years, but most of them had either never been handled or were just slow to become accustomed to people. This one just has his own agenda.

He's taken to sleeping inside of the rocket in my son's room, into which all of the soft toys have been thrown. Is it the sensation of sleeping with his litter mates he enjoys? I've been wondering if he wandered off from his siblings, and is more interested in playing with other cats than with people...

I think he's actually grown a bit over the course of three days. That should come as no surprise — he has a very healthy appetite. (And he doesn't seem to have a problem with using the pine cat litter, which is a great relief.)
