Maverick

September 19, 2009

Andrew says: Maverick belongs to my friends David and Nick. She was abandoned at just a few days old by her mother, one of the many feral cats at Nick's parents' farm. David and Nick have hand-reared her. They even had to teach her how to use the litter box properly! She's a dear little thing and being hand-reared has given her some really curious (but endearing) habits.

Love the "M" for Maverick on her forehead. As though she'd been branded.

She's such a bundle of cuteness, I can't get over it. I just want to scoop her up, cuddle and kiss her forever!

She is adorable! Does the M on her forehead mean she's Maine Coon?

What a beautiful little girl! She reminds me of our little Dundee (named Crockodile Dundee because she was very fiesty) who passed away at the ripe old age of 19. She was an orphaned feral kitten who immediately latched onto my husband when down by the riverbank behind our home. She thought my husband was her Mom and she was, for her entire life, "his girl" right up until the moment she died in his arms as we were rushing to the vet when she suffered from a stroke. You're right as far as ferels having some quirky habits--but watching how a feral animal becomes domesticated is quite interesting. I'm glad baby Maverick has found such a loving home with Nick and Dave. Hand-rearing a baby feral makes all the difference! She's a real sweetie pie.

Maverick is a beauty with gorgeous big eyes. She must be a real delight. Great story, she's a lucky little kitten.

She will grow and stretch into a fairly long kitty. She'll be so much fun.
