Responsibility

He wasn't mad. Kind of weird, but no complaints here. He said that as long as I take care of the kitten I can keep it, so now I have a kitty allowance on top of my regular allowance for food and things that I'll need week to week. Anything extra I have to put aside for when stuff wears out, like scratching posts and things, or as emergency vet money.

He said it might 'teach you some responsibility'. Give me a break, old man, I'm fourteen! I'm not supposed to be responsible until at least another ten years. Weirdo.

Anyway, we managed to get a vet appointment and now his leg is set and bandaged better. He's on some medicine for a cold too. Poor thing. He's sleeping in my lap right now. The vet said his mother probably abandoned him because she couldn't give him the care he needed. I guess we have a few things in common. I named him Spike because i think it's funny when an animal has a name that's completely contrary to their nature and because I suck at naming things.

Oh. He just woke up. He hasn't eaten yet today, so I'm going to try to feed him.
