Kitten thread!

Graybaby!

I love the face and what amazing coloring! Thank you for sharing!:loveya:

She was the only one in her litter that would not be touched. We had to trick her into the house for those pics! She needs a home...right now, she lives outside with her mommy...a stray that adopted us.

I found one in my town last year. Since then, we've managed to trap nine feral cats for the spay/release program. Also, I just trapped two kittens who will be socialized in, of all places, the Women's State Prison! The little convicts will get used to people there. (I'm sure they'll get loads of attention)! The thing is, I didn't know about this group, called Animal Allies, until I went online and did a search. Whatever you decide to do for the little cat, I'm heaping praise upon you for being a caring human being! You're a kitty hero!

So, I know she's OK. The trailers have lattice instead of skirting, and she is still small enough to fit through one of the holes in the crisscross, so she can get away from anything chasing her. A friend of my son's has said they want her, but I have to wait until his mom gets paid again. I don't know if that's a real deal or not, but I don't mind feeding her.

I'd have her and Mom inside if my other three would allow it.

And I sure can identify. My kitty, whose pic I'll also post, though it's not as good as yours, had a similar problem. All my guys are rescue, but this kitty is the one who I rescued myself. I fed her for almost four months outside until the weather began getting bad and I began to panic. So I had to resort to using a have-a-heart trap that I borrowed from the animal hospital to finally bring her in.:-(

And it turned out that she was a spayed female who had gotten away from a neighbor when she moved. This poor kitty had been on her own far too long, had been through hell, and had "lost trust," as I was told by someone who works with ferals. I got excellent advice from her, as well as a book on the subject, "The Stray Cat Handbook," and some great articles from Alley Cat Allies, which you may be familiar with. But the most helpful thing was when she had badly-needed dental surgery. My vet said that she must have been in pain. This completely changed her into almost a lap-cat! :D

Kudos for you for persevering with this. I know it's tough... She looks so very sweet and is so lucky to have found an angel like you!O8)

Catlin:

How cute! Graybaby is really a unique looking cat. Its like part Tortie and part white. What a pretty kitty. Very unusual. Is Graybaby a she?

She looks just like her mom!

...we have a Tortie, and since our Tortie is our daughter, I have a 6th sense when it comes to spotting a relative...;-)

She'll eat the food we put out, but rarely does she let us touch her. Her mom is very loving and attention hungry.

I love those eyes!

I love smoosh faces!

Quinn is the super furball from hell in the bottom picture, here is the photo of him that made him famous (on DU anyway):

...LOL...:thumbsup:

That is just the most adorable kitten pic I have ever seen.


Quinn!!! :bounce:

:D

Have a link?

edit: nevermind, they finally added a search feature so you can search for the little furry devils by name :)

oh I forgot they are picky on that website and I can't borrow the pic

He's awesome :)

He and Quinn could have a fuzz-off :)

They could have there own website...it would be close!

:bounce:

How about a more active Quinn?



:)

:loveya:

I think it's my favorite one I've taken of her. It just shows her personality very well :)

:(

But I love dogs :)

I'd have one if I had a yard.

(who continues to visit anyway - we've got 4 cats).

Just curious - do you know when/how it started?

I was 5 or 6 and one summer evening I got scared from a black stray cat. It jumped on my head from a nearby roof and then ran away.

That day I started stammering. Words starting with K, C, S and T... Not all words of course but words starting with these letters only. It took almost 2 years to recover from it and even to this date sometimes I still stammer but it is very very rare.

I am 31 now and I am still scared of cats. I can't stand within 10 feet of a cat.

I like them on pics and videos and I think they are adorable creatures. But I guess I'll have to live with it.

:hi:

Here's Timmy when he was about 5 weeks old:



Here he is now, still pretty much a kitten. He's such a sweet boy.

I could just crawl through the phone lines and cuddle him! :hug:

and so sensitive. I adore this boy. Your cat is so beautiful!

I just live vicariously through him and cat-sit him when she's out of town. All the fun and barely any of the responsibility.

He looks like a sweetheart

Timmy's a beauty! Is he as soft as he looks?

:hi:

Welcome to DU!

:hi:

:hi:

...:hi:

fat baby belly :)

Clinton looks a lot like our Wiley and Excellent Cat Named Ginger looked as a baby. Don't kittens have the cutest little bellies?

Welcome! :hi:

here since last October - I just don't post very much, though I've been posting more lately... the madder I get about what's going on, the more I post :)

Clinton has been the smartest & most spoiled rotten cat I've ever had. And bluest eyes... He has me & my daughter wrapped around his finger -- I told my husband that Clinton is the perfect name for him because he's blonde, blue-eyed, and charms the ladies ;)

Those blue eyes. . . . :)

and I have a sneaking suspicion he knows it... =) Love his name, too...We're expecting a baby in Jan, just found out it's a boy, and are naming him Quinn.

Do they let you use the couch every once in a while?

otherwise, no, not really. But you see, that's not really a couch they're sitting on. It's a really big, expensive scratching post.

and beautiful cats
:bounce:

Mario has the blue collar, Toona is the bigger cat.

what a couple of snugglers!

And there are the loves of their life: FOOD

can you believe it? :)

Your kittys are beautiful.

here's the soft underbelly of my Tuna.

I don't have any of Oliver or Amanda up yet--Amanda died three weeks ago.

This is Garibaldi--my blubba bubba


This is Jessica, my baby, about four years ago


This is Jean-Luc, about 5 years ago:



There are lots more, I just have to dig them out. :)

one when she was about 3 weeks (I raised her from 3 days, she's 4 months old now)





And one of her playing with the fishies

Aren't you thoughtful

My kitties would love to have CAT tv as you do in that pic!

Are calico/tabbies more evil then other cats, or do they just seem like it?

She's just spoiled rotten. She's got diabetes and went from nearly 14 lbs to 7. She's now back up to 8.5, which is good. I have to give her insulin every day, but she's a trooper and tolerates it well.

She's spoiled because she was the new baby when my old ladies were in the waning years of their lives. When two of my ladies died (sisters, Alyn and Sandi, 5 months apart), she was the youngster with Piccolo, the last of my old ladies. Piccolo died a year and a half later, and I began to acquire new kids.

Or maybe that pic just really does her justice. It's a lovely picture.

love her face! and her colors!

Here's my old kitten, Felix, he just turned 15 I think in June (maybe May)...The most affectionate character I've ever met!

Miro (with Obie);



Fosters:

India (purebred Bengal):







The Twins; Nakoma and Katori:





I have one more foster, Kachina, but she's still too shy for pictures.

I can't imagine who'd give up a Bengal.

they literally threw India (real name "Bangles"-unimaginative assholes too) and her sister out on the street! Her sister couldn't be caught by their neighbor, who is still searching for her. Fortunately, a nice woman is adopting India from the holistic pet food store where I show them tomorrow. She's done TNR work with ferals and works at Sea World ( she knows wild animal trainers), so I think she'll be able to handle India's semi-wild disposition.

:argh: wtf is wrong with people?!

I am crossing my fingers for the neighbor.

Stupid fuckers.

that she wants to adopt the sister too if we can catch her (keep the family together). Gawd, I hope she can be found! :cry:

I need to get pics of my Elizabeth on line as well

Katie:


Elliott, mid-yawn:


Eddie, my mom's tail-sucking cat:

about a dozen ginger tabbies, all of them named after various cheeses. They had a couple to begin with, then they rescued a tiny female off the streets of SF who was being used as a breed cat by some homeless people. She was pregnant, and they ended up with a litter of 6. They've since rescued another litter of ginger tabbies.

Names (that I know) are: Cheeto (the original), Cream Cheese and Fontina (my favorites), Romano, Provolone, Gouda, & Tillamook.

These folks built a kitty compound that is all fenced in, and now that they are renovating, they built a separate compound around their new guest house while the main house is being done.

My dog and I visit them every day when we are out walking.

here is my Milo (he is my big baby!)

8 weeks old


almost a year with his half brother and sister

(white one Buddha and black one Mysterie)

On Edit: forgot, the first pic of him, my daughter decided to "edit" in paint and drew lines everywhere!

Lewis, Clark, CatZilla, Miss Moo and Porkchop, right before Porkchop was adopted

It's hard to let go, I know. :hug:
