This kitten has totally changed how I view the world

[bicentennial_baby]

Changed my life...It's so strange to have this tiny animal in my care. Total focus and attention from both of us. It's awesome, and wonderful :D

:hi:

[VenusRising]

1. We'll know for sure

when you start knitting baby kitty booties. :P

How is the cute little fuzzball??

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

3. He is passed out on my flip flops right now, at my feet

He's still pretty worn out from his Vet visit yesterday and his vaccination, but he ate a ton today, and had lots of crazy playtime :D

Soon, I start knitting homemade catnip mice, one of my knitting specialties :D

:hi:

[VenusRising]

5. You're such a good kitty mommy.

I grow fresh nip for mine in the backyard.

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Oh! So beautiful!! Eeeek!

:loveya:

And, thank you. :pals:

[zanne]

54. I wish I could do that...

A few years ago, I bought three catnip plants and planted them. When I went outside the next morning, all that was left was the stems. The neighborhood cats must have had a party during the night. Now all I can grown is catmint. They roll around in it, but I know it's not the "real stuff".

2. Kittens are wonderful, aren't they?

They give you total acceptance and love. All they ask for in return is food, water, a relatively clean litter box and a scratch behind the ears now and then. Enjoy.

[bicentennial_baby]

4. He's precious...

I can't get over how in love we are with him! He's our little bundle of joy! :D

:hi:

[graywarrior]

7. See? Told ya.

[bicentennial_baby]

8. You were correct...

Sniffa came home early-ish, and got off 2 T stops early to walk 15 min to the vet yesterday, just so he could be there for the baby's vet visit. We're sooo hooked.

[graywarrior]

9. Kitties make you fall more in love with eachother.

They are magical little beings.

[DainBramaged]

11. Kitties make you feel young again!

:hi: :hi: :loveya:

[bicentennial_baby]

12. Hehe, Sniffa is already calling me the

mother of his child... :D

We're just smitten beyond belief... :)

And this little guy surely is! I adore him most completely...

[graywarrior]

14. Kitties are the best ever.

If Mr. Gray & I are pissed at eachother, all it takes is the cat to enter the room and, poof, all the anger is pushed out.

Kitties could end wars. And then when they become cats, they become indifferent so there would be no wars again coz all they want to do is have their bellies rubbed and sleep after a good chow down.

[bicentennial_baby]

15. Exactly....

He's adopted my flip flops as his favorite snuggle toy...Oh! So cute!

My cynical ass is done for, I swear! :rofl:

[graywarrior]

17. You will become a kinder, gentler dude.

I never cuddled nothin' til Kamere came along. Now we're cuddle buds.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. I'm getting there...

I'm a cuddling fool, at this point... :D

[graywarrior]

19. Kamere says "mew" to your kitty (even tho he looks like a bastard right now)

[bicentennial_baby]

21. Damn, he's gorgeous, and he reminds me of

his Mommy :D

[graywarrior]

22. He has the 'tude.

We're alike...badasses til it thunders or the doorbell rings.

[stuntcat]

10. what a lucky little cat!

I love all his pictures that I've seen :loveya:

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Awwww! Thank you!

He's precious! :loveya:

[flvegan]

16. Oh, dear.

No matter what we tell you, do NOT watch "The Witness" okay?

[bicentennial_baby]

20. Why?

You gotta tell me! :o

[flvegan]

33. Don't click this link

http://www.tribeofheart.org/wit1.htm

I warned you...

[Taverner]

23. Is it a small Buddha...covered in fur?

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Pretty much!

As long as Buddha bites and scratches as well :D

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. How can you NOT just love 'em to pieces?

The extremely cuddly Milo and Jeoffry offer meows and purrs of welcome.

[bicentennial_baby]

28. I know! And Milo and Jeffery are beautiful!

Thank you!! :bounce:

:hi:

[Sanity Claws]

25. I'm so happy for you and the kitten

She really is a Practice Baby for the two of you, isn't she?
I have two cats and love them so much. I would be absolutely heartbroken if anything happened to either one.

[sasquatch]

27. Do you play with him with your hand or with toys or both?

[bicentennial_baby]

29. Both, mostly toys...

:)

[Courtesy Flush]

30. OMG It's spreading

My girl is about ten years old. I've drawn her and painted her portrait many times (artists have their own way of loving cats).

Almost every day I tell my wife that my cat is too good to be true. She's an angel.

So yes. I understand.

[bicentennial_baby]

31. aw, that's beautiful!

I'm glad that you understand. :pals:

[sniffa]

38. Happy, happy to you and your new kitten!

My fellow cat-lovers:

I have great news! 5 weeks ago, wild Mama Cat deposited her kittens in my backyard. Well, we adopted one, who insisted that he was NOT an outdoor cat, wanted to sleep in the big cat fishy pillow INDOORS, and wanted to follow my ten-year-old, so that she could be his human. We adopted him at 5 weeks; he's now 8 weeks old. We were able to fully test him today! He's 110% healthy! And, he didn't get the memo about being unfriendly. He's the sweetest, most mannerly, well-adjusted cat we ever had!

He now joins my three other indoor cats - so, we're now a 4-cat household! Two boys, two girls. Ages 6, 5, 1, and 8 weeks. They all get along!

[bicentennial_baby]

46. Those "all clear" test results are the best!

I was on pins and needles the other day for the FIV and FeLV tests...His momma was indoor/outdoor, and Papa unknown. I was so worried! But no, he's a-ok :D

:hi:

[MedleyMisty]

40. Awwww

I'm so happy for you. Cats are the most wonderful beings in the world.

I want to see lots of pictures. :)

[TrogL]

41. Why are you sitting on the cat?

[NaturalHigh]

42. I know how you feel.

I've often said that God sent Stoops to me to make my life happier.

[Robeson]

43. That's great....

...they really do touch us. Congrats! :toast:

[hfojvt]

44. if you'd gotten a dog

then you'd have another friend

unless they are like mine, who just pretend to like me for my food.

[bicentennial_baby]

47. Can't have a dog until I have a house/yard

I can't in good conscience have a dog in my 5th floor apt with both of us at work/school a bunch. I can't wait for the day that I can have a pup again, trust me. :)

:hi:

[grace0418]

51. I feel the same way. Man, if I had the room, the time and the money I would have

quite the menagerie though. Try to socialize your little one with dogs if you can. So down the road if you get a pup he'll be okay with it.

[applegrove]

45. More pics? You can never upload too many kitten pics.

[grace0418]

48. Oh goodness he's adorable. And I know exactly what you mean. I found my two

cats in an attic when they were two weeks old. We were helping my husband's sister move into a new house and, evidently, the mother had given birth in the attic before the doors were put in. Then she couldn't get back in to feed them. So they were starving and sooooooooooooooooooooo tiny when we found them. There was a girl too, but at the time I was living in a little apartment (we weren't married yet) and had no money so I felt like I could only take one. That one was my Frankie. I fell head over heels in love with him the minute I laid eyes on him. But my husband kept holding the other boy and saying "But look at him! He's the runt! You have to take him!" That's how I ended up with two. And I love them both with every fiber of my being.

Luckily, I had just quit my job at the time and wasn't going to start my new job for another 2 weeks. So I was able to stay home with them and bottle feed them. It was totally like being a new mom. I carried them everywhere and even made little steps for the litter box because they were too small to climb in by themselves. They were so cute it made my chest hurt.

Beans died a few years back. He was always a runt and always had medical problems, but was so sweet and funny. The vet always used to remark that he never would've lived as long as he did if he hadn't found a family to love him like we did. I really miss him. Frankie is fourteen now and still going strong. He is my heart.

Here's Frankie:


Here's Frank and Beans. They were inseperable as you can see. Frankie cried every night for almost a year after Beans died.

[bicentennial_baby]

49. Oh, that's so beautiful, and so sad...

But, he had an awesome life. thanks to you :hug:

I feel sad for his brother though, that's rough. :(

:hug:

[grace0418]

50. Thanks! That's one of the things you have to accept about

having a cat or dog. They only live 10-20 years. It's so hard when they leave you but, oh, they are so wonderful when they are alive. They are 100% pure love, wrapped in fur. Humans are just too complicated to ever love that unconditionally.

Enjoy your time with your new baby. Every day he'll do something to make you laugh or clutch your chest with love. As I write this Frankie is settling himself on the arm of my chair and purring madly.

:hug:

[cwydro]

56. what beautiful cats

how lucky they were to find you.

Frankie looks very intelligent. Those eyes.

[grace0418]

60. Thank you! Frankie is incredibly intelligent. He got Beans' share of brains I think.

:) He's far *too* smart sometimes. Not that I can ever get mad at him.

[MedleyMisty]

58. Thank you

Geez, I'm all crying now.

But really, thank you for taking them in and giving them love. And I'm sorry for the loss of Beans.

Our two older females were found together as starving kittens in a crawlspace as well.

Cats are the most wonderful species on the planet.

[grace0418]

61. That's so sweet of you to say. It sounds like you also have been an angel to

some orphans yourself, so I should be thanking you.

Of course, they gave me so much more than I could ever give in return.

[cwydro]

55. this one is a long way from kittenhood

She is 13. And still the love of my life. (she hunts shoes, hence the running shoe in photo)

[mike_c]

57. kittens are the finest form of life on earth....

Nothing else even comes close.

[applegrove]

59. Agreed.
