So the deal was a new kitty after the move from the 14th floor back to ground level. I guess my daughter found her, It's the one in the center here having obviously the most interest in the environment at three weeks of age, unlike her black brothers to the right. Her name may become Pebbles, with a nod to The Flintstones but there may be an oncoming dispute about that. One of those brothers is also admitted at the residence as protector of the little princess.

Right Lisa and a remarkable early student as well, already investigating the anatomy of moms ear.

Do you think I could convince my cat it's her kitten?
 
Ooooooooooooohhhhhh! Sooooooo cute! Her attitude reminds me of Ember as a kitten (is there a way to make them that tiny and cute again?)

Pebbles would be a great name...sort of fits the "marbling" of a calico too. I love love love love love her markings!

I keep trying to decide if Ember wants a kitten now that I have a bigger house, and seeing this cuddly adorable sweetie muffin makes me REALLY want another kitten (I just don't know if I'd get so lucky as to find another one that so perfectly suits my own personality as Ember does).

Absolutely adorable! My wife and I had one who we found at the age of a few months. She was abandoned in the university student housing complex where we were living. She came to our front door and meowed, so we took her in, adopted her on the spot and named her 'Pumpkin'. Her nickname was 'Pie-face'.

I am totally in love. Nature knew what she was doing when she made baby-everythings stupenduously cute.

Meanwhile the kittens have moved to their new residence, making posting a lot more difficult although I don't think they invented the keyboard walk.

Unfortunately my proposal to rename Pebbles into Yingyang was not approved.

Or rather, nature just programmed people to think that small disproportionate creatures are cute.

WOLRAM! How are you?
 
  • #22
Yay Woolie!

Say, is it just me, or are Pebbles' markings identical to her mother's except flipped? Look at their faces and sides.
 
  • #23
Nah, Pebbles has more orange in places her mom has white, and black in places her mom has orange. Their faces are very similar, though (except mom has that orange "beauty mark" over her lip).

Hi Wollie! All the cuteness in this thread must be good therapy for you! :smile:

Just shot today, wondering why my foot was a bit painful, but the two of them were on the big [strike]food[/strike] foot hunt.

But after such a hunt, they usual retreat here for a nap.

Hmmm, I wonder if I should encourage them to move to a more spacier residence.

They are getting a bit big for desk ornaments.
