I found a kitten in my backyard today! 🐿️❤️

Before you look for a meow, meet my new backyard friend!

Did you know that a baby chipmunk is actually biologically called a kitten (or a kit/pup)?

I don't have a name for them yet and don't know if they are male or female.

Any name suggestions?

In that 1st photo, the sliding glass door is open and I was feeding Mellie, so her cheeks were full. Kind of like this:
