It seems like my little buddy is getting closer to talking- I feel like he's better at mimicking sounds. If I say "hi", it seems like's always saying "hi" back!

My little kittens! They curled up on my chest purring this morning.

My bunny forcibly shoved himself under my arm this morning while I was asleep so I would cuddle and pet him.

My dog felt I should get up when the alarm went off instead of hitting the snooze button, so he climbed atop me and lay full length with his head on my chest. After several minutes of gazing at my (closed, but I could feel the stare!) eyes, he fell asleep himself.

I did a Google image search for "cats dressed as dogs" (without quotes, so it would include dogs dressed as cats, as well as cats and dogs dressed as just about anything you could think of, including Darth Vader, iPhones, and spaghetti).

occhiblu! we need kitten pictures STAT!!

this made me awww yesterday.

oh and our new rescue kitty "chose" a name for himself by virtue of it being the only one he would actually respond to. Meet Pixel, our new kitty overlord!

oops I meant to link another, better photo of him. Here is Pixel, in all his kitty glory.

Oh, Pixel is a cute name!

I have kitten photos on Facebook. Do I need to get them on Flickr or something to post them here?

Let's see if this works. First photo by mudpuppie. Parsnip on the left, Radish on the right:

oooo squeee!! look at the ickle belleh spots!!! and toesies! so stripy!

I love brown tabbies; their patterns are just endlessly fascinating. Marlowe is a blue point tabby, so he has ghost stripes, but nothing beats the full-on tiger-cat treatment :D

My only requirements going to look at kittens was that I wanted a pair, and no calicoes (because my beloved departed cat was a calico, and I didn't want to feel like I was trying to replace her). I saw these brothers and was just like, "Yep, that's them." I think partly because they did remind me of various big-cat cubs that I've seen over the years.

They have pretty much doubled in size over the two weeks I've had them. I had no idea kittens ate so much.

Pixel reminds me a lot of one of the first family cats I remember having, a Himalayan named Ginseng (she looked almost exactly like the middle photo on that page). She was one of my favorite cats ever; she slept every night on my pillow just over my head for pretty much my entire pre-college life.

Pixel is gorgeous. And the kitties are beyond cute. As for me, the kidlet's smiles always make me say awwww.

Speaking of spotty bellies, I loved this photo that one of the local shelters posted. Kitten has a smiley face on his belly!

I should preemptively warn you that I'm about to adopt another rescue puppy (to post too many pics of!)

Yay, puppy pics!

I had no idea kittens ate so much

omg... just you wait until they're about six months old. Teenaged boycats are just like teenaged boys. Bottomless pits of FEEDME!

and of course what goes in must go out, so they're incredible poo machines as well. But they're so goddamned cute, which is why we love them :)

gomi there can never be enough puppy pics!

Kitties!

This morning I woke up and called for The Bees and she popped out from under a pile of pillows right by my head, filthy of course. She's never done that before and it was adorable.
It was our first night in the new house and at first I thought she was purring, but she was trembling like she did as a wee kitten, traveling place to place on her daddy's shoulder. Such a scaredy cat, still a little babyhead.

I don't know where she is hiding right now but everything is FILTHY.
I'm just taking a break now that the net is working, checking the extent of the achiness, being filthy. I'll be back to scrubbing floors and dusting in a bit.
