He likes it. 

Wilson needed a playmate.  And the lovely, caring people at Animal Allies had a kitten named Ernie.  The rest is history. 

Renamed "Sidney" (for Sidney Bechet) which somehow evolved into "Sidney-Beans," the 11-week old confident, affectionate, fearless, and healthy little purr machine came home to live with us a week ago and has settled in beautifully. Mr. Wonderful (Wilson), ever the adaptable and gentle-hearted, quickly assumed the role of co-trainer, groomer, and big brother to the little fellow.  We couldn't be more delighted to have him in our lives.  They are now quite a pair.

Sidney-Beans took to eating the homemade raw food recipe like a duck to water, and is emphasizing the point that kittens are absolutely voracious eating machines.  If you're asking me now how much a kitten eats?  My new answer is "more than you would ever imagine possible."  How much food will you need to make to keep your kitten fed?  A lot.

It's a joy to watch his enthusiasm for the food and to see him thrive.  It's a joy to watch him play with his brother.  It's a joy to have him on our laps. 

It's a joy. 

Welcome home, Sidney-Beans.
