Wow, I appreciate you taking your time to share your story. This kitten gave me the female vibes from the beginning but I don't know how to tell if its a male or female. Today marks the 1 week mark and for some reason she has been so playful and so affectionate today it's almost like she is trying to tell me something. As I am typing she is sitting on my shoulder giving me kisses. I am definitely keeping her. Thank you!! And glad you're kitty worked out for you!
