At long last! The boyfriend and I drove to Long Island Friday night, stayed over at a quality EconoLodge hotel, and picked up our Sphynx kitten yesterday.
Here is little Ripley, at 9 1/2 weeks old, scooped up from the breeder's:
She spent the 4-hour drive home curled up in a fleece blanket in my lap (I couldn't leave her in the pet carrier):
And now, after what I thought was bonding, she's contendedly hidden under our bed and has barely ventured out. :(
I know, I know - I need to have patience with my new kitten... But I just want to play with her!
Isn't she the cutest ugliest thing you've ever seen?!
