Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2008Baby Blues (not OT)
The cats in the Two Lumps comic have been reliving their kittenhood lately. They being Russian Blues, like my Mir, I'm reminded of her kittenhood. The first time I visited the litter, I played with the kittens. One of them climbed onto my lap and played with my 'senility cord' as Mum so subtly puts it - the chain of my glasses. Then she fell asleep on my arm. My niece just shook her head in wonder. This little girl hadn't done anything like this before. I thought it was cute, but I really didn't have a clue. The next time I visited the kittens, they were much bigger. I played with them, and when I sat down, one little girl climbed up in my lap and played with the chain of my glasses. Then she fell asleep on my arm. I thought it was cute, but I still didn't have a clue. I didn't even know that it was the same kitten, since they all looked the same to me. A couple of weeks later, I found myself phoning my niece out of the blue and telling her I'd be willing to take one or two of the kittens, if she didn't find homes for them. I don't remember even thinking about it, I just rang her without planning to. I still didn't have a clue. Then panic set in - how would my little b*tch Nikki take to a new cat? She hated strangers, and couldn't even bear to have Frank being friendly to a strange cat. What had I done? My niece promised she would take the kitten back if it didn't work out with Nikki. My niece had made mental notes that the same little girl had crept into my lap and fallen asleep there several times, and this was the little girl she gave me. She was then called Cashmere, Mere for short. It morphed into Mir and then Miranda. Ever since the first day with me, she came to me for safety against Nikki (who was pretty foul-mouthed at first, but never touched or hurt Mir), and from the second day on, she slept with me under the covers (so F&N wouldn't know she was there?), snuggled up tightly against me. I think she decided the first time I visited that I was her human. Some pics from my visits with the kittens: http://pets.webshots.com/album/231002479JeCnGu  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. Awww, that's a sweet story!

Bitties are cute anyway, but Miranda and her brofurs and sisfurs are even more cute than I remembered. Was that Miranda on the person's shoulder?

Was that Miranda on the person's shoulder? > > Pam S. who was and is enchanted by Russian Blue kitties I think that probably was Miranda on my niece's shoulder, since she loves climbing on my back, too. I also suspect that is her with the shoe, looking all innocent, since she loves everything stringy. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

All kittens are cute, but Kira's litter is just cute squared! (Or to the power of TEN!) I'm glad that Mir picked *you* out. I don't see how it would be possible to choose just one of those precious little kittens! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ >^..^< "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie. Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.

There's something so cute/strange about those little ghost-like grey forms.
