Gratuitous Kitty Shot of the Week

As you can see, Kimba is a handsome fellow. There's a birdbath in the front yard of Kiko's House and he loves to watch the birdies splash in it.

Kimba was dealt a bad hand as a kitten. He was born to a feral mother who nursed him under the back deck of a country house and was near death from starvation, eye parasites and other maladies when he was rescued by the Dear Friend and Conscience, who nursed him back to health.

Then there was the matter of him adjusting to life at Kiko's House.

Kiko, a rescue cat herself, had two choices when confronted by a frail eight-week-old ball of fluff with one blue eye and one blonde eye.

She could kill Kimba or she could mentor Kimba.

The choice she made is obvious. Kimba is now a robust three-plus years old. He's a few cards short of a full deck in the brains department, probably because of his early problems, but he's a sweetheart nonetheless.
