August
Location: San Francisco, California, USA
This is August in his box at 12 weeks old. We still have the box, and he’ll still climb in it sometimes, but now, at seven months old, he doesn’t really fit! (He has grown into his ears a bit since this picture though!) August is my sweet little lover boy. He is the most affectionate, loving kitten I’ve ever met. His sister Lucy’s my feisty little spitfire. I would have loved to submit a pic of both my kittens, but Lucy doesn’t sit still long enough for a good picture. All the ones I have of her she’s either asleep or blurry. I met August & Lucy at an adoption fair in front of a supermarket a few months ago. I’d been planning to get milk & eggs at the store, not kittens, but I instantly and absolutely fell in love with August & Lucy that day, and knew I was theirs forever. I am a life-long cat lover who adopted her first stray at age four (and was so determined my parents couldn’t stop me), but when I met August & Lucy I’d been living without cats for four years, the longest I’ve ever been without furballs in my life. Now that I have little August & little Lucy, I can’t understand why I waited four years. Both of them pounce on me every morning when my alarm goes off, kneading and purring and knowing full well I am a sucker for kitten cuddles when I’m first waking up. How did I ever live without this?

We like August- he looks very dignified and handsome!
August is precious, and I’m sure Lucy is too! My first cat was named Lucy. I can’t imagine four years without cats! Enjoy them!
You sound like you’re Smitten With Your Kittens(tm), a quality I find most excellent in a kitty mommy!
August is a handsome fellow! What ears! He looks like there might be some Siamese in his background.
Please give Lucy and August extra kisses for me!
Aw, August what big ears you have…did you grow into them yet?! You are a lucky kit for you are the TDK Star today!
I am loving creamsicle kitty week here at TDK! August looks just like his bio, a real sweetie pie. Lucky you to have such a wonderful little dude (and his sis) to wake you each morning. Hugs to August
Your kitties wait until the alarm goes off before they pounce? What?! Omg, are they keepers!! At my house the pouncing started at 5:30 this morning (I was planning to get up at 9:30) after all of 3 hs of sleep…
I think you and the kittens needed each other very much. So glad you went for milk and eggs. Isn’t it amazing how the Universe puts us in the exact right place at the exact right time?
I always get a morning shot of kitty love at my house, too. The cats make sure I don’t leave home without it!
Four years seems like forever but August and Lucy knew their furever mom when they saw you. I have an Orange Tabby and he’s my Looove kitty, too! Many hugs, purrs and pouncing to you!
Hi August!!! I think you may be one of our TDK chat family kitties! What a little cutie pie! Con’cats’ on being chosen today’s Daily Kitten!! Headbonks, Purrs ‘n’ Sandpaper kisses to both August & Lucy
Awww, August is so handsome, loving those ears in this pic!
August is adorable! Ears and all. And what kitty doesn’t love a box? That is so funny that you went to the store for milk and eggs and came home with two babies!
It must be Red Kitty Week on TDK! August, you are just too cute, big ears and all.
August is beautiful as I’m sure Lucy is too. Congrats on finding these two love bugs.
August has fine haunches.
August is a fine-looking ginger kitten. 4 years???? I couldn’t last 4 minutes without them.
Great story! Lucky you, lucky August & Lucy!
Your story made me smile! What a cutie he is!
August is adorable, and what a great story, sounds like they have a very loving family.
August looks like the most mellow little guy. I agree with Sioban that he looks like there is some Siamese genes with is head shape and large ears. That could also make them even bigger love bugs. Have to have kitties is my motto as they add so much to life. Enjoy your precious babies for many years to come. Blessings to you for providing them with a wonderful forever home.
I love those radar ears! I’m glad to hear he has been growing into them!
Judging by this picture, I don’t know HOW you lived without that pitter patter of kitty feets in the house. But sounds like you got adopted by a great pair!
Thank you so much for your happy story.
Kitten in a box! Perfect!
Aww…such a cute description! August is adorable…bet Lucy is just as cute!
Hi August your a cute kitty,and Im sure your sister Lucy is too.
