By Way of Introduction...

...a little kitten math:

This...
is a coyote.


This...is an adorable brown tabby kitten.


Now for the math.

+ =

That would be me there on the end. Yep, Coyote plus kitten equals me at the vet's, minus one back leg. Not good. Wouldn't recommend it.

I'm Spyder. My new Mom named me after a trike - a three-wheeled motorcycle thingie. She named me after the CanAm Spyder because it has two wheels in front, and one in the back - kind of like me.

I'm about nine weeks old, and I've already had more than my fair share of adventure, thank you very much. Already been almost eaten by a coyote, rescued, had surgery, been adopted, and now getting medications for my leg (or what used to be my leg), and some infections in my nose, eye and ear. Not exactly an ideal start. But I'm doing OK, and my new Mom's decided to start this blog to chronicle my progress as I adjust to life with one less set of toes. We'll see where that takes us.

You're welcome to come along for the ride.
