Those of you who follow me on Twitter<\/a>, watch my Picasa Web Albums<\/a> feed, or subscribe to my YouTube<\/a> channel may already know that we currently have a kitten staying with us. He’s a stray who showed up outside our friend Darla’s apartment last Friday. Their landlord doesn’t allow pets, and DeeAnn and I are suckers for cute furry things, so Stray Kitten ended up in our bathroom.<\/p>\n

We avoided naming him, because we didn’t want to get too attached–we already have two cats, and that’s enough for us. However, both the vet and the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society<\/a> advise that he will be easier to place if he has a name. (This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, since they also tell us most people rename their new pets anyway. Whatevs.)<\/p>\n

After some deliberation, we’ve named the stray kitten Dylan<\/b> for now. He needs some humans to give him a good home in the Portland, Oregon\/Vancouver, Washington area, and if nobody contacts us in the next couple of weeks, kitten Dylan will be at the PetSmart<\/a> National Adoption Event the weekend of February 11-13.<\/p>\n

We’ll continue fostering him until then, so expect to see more photos and videos like these:<\/embed>
