Cats and Food and New Bike

Of course, now that we have a new kitten, there will be lots of boring posts about kitten cuteness, kitten antics and kitten updates.
The kitten is doing great. He is very verbal - either his unique personality or because he is a siamese mix. Peggy has already spoiled him. She gave him a lick of Redi Whip and he went nuts. Now he climbs our legs in the kitchen hoping for more. I told her that kittens (and even dogs) can't have milk and will get diarrhea. Sure enough, it happened. He used the litter box, but the mess got tracked in the floor and his paws were stinky. He had his first bath and I got bit. Peggy likes Angel and says she might get a kitten!
He had his first vet appt today. In the car, he rode to the vet clinic on my shoulder. While waiting on the vet, he sat on my shoulder. Shoulders are his preferred location- that's where he is 99% of the time. The vet conferred that cats cannot have milk (cows are herbivores and cats are carnivores, therefore their milk content is different). She did say that he could have a teaspoon of yogurt as a treat. We'll try that in a few months. Angel was a trooper at his appointment and the vet fell in love with Abbie and wants her to marry her son.
Baby does not hate the kitten!
We took Peggy to dinner at Gourmet & Co tonight. This is one of our favorite restaurants. It's like eating the food we see on Food Network. Duck confit, sundried tomato ragout, pineapple foam.... Our meals were wonderful! I knew I was saving room for dessert - bananas foster. This is a specialty for this restaurant, and they didn't have it tonight! I have a recipe. I just need to make it myself.
We got Abbie a new bike for her birthday. She didn't ask for this. Paul put it together last night, but burst a tire as he was inflating it. He got a new tube today, fixed the tire and presented the bike to her tonight. She wasn't very impressed. It doesn't have training wheels - that's why. But we did install a long handle off the back that we hold onto to help her with balancing. It was too dark for her to practice, but maybe she will be a little more enthusiastic tomorrow?? But a gift that we got her that she really does like -- Seasons 1, 2, and 3 of Little House on the Prairie.
Tomorrow, we are going to make Abbie's selection from the cookbook that Annie got her. She chose to make Chocolate Chip-Peppermint Scones.
