Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Litter

Location: Iowa, USA

Red Hot Chili PepperGirl “orangies” are rare? I was shocked to get FIVE in this litter. First in line are three of the Maine Coon girls — Pumpkin, Ginger, and Peaches — and then the two boys Sargeant Pepper and Senor Habenero. The other two girls, Talulah and Cayenne, wouldn’t fit. All of them were adopted as much loved pets by my friends.

A grown orange cat that looks like these just adopted me a few weeks ago. I was wondering what kind of cat this was? These babies are so cute! I never had an orange cat before. Or a male cat for that matter. He is already fixed and took over the house. My tortie gets along fine with him. He is a very loving cat and follows me all over. He must have looked like this as a baby?

Well there’s another secret that goes WITH the refresh button, but I can’t give that one away or I’d never be first AGAINE!

HM, can I borrow the little dark one for a while to cuddle? The bobster is with me at work today, but he’s being bad and doesn’t want to hug! The boss just picked him up and Bob slapped him in the face with his paw!

Yes you can take the little dark one. There’s more than enough to share!

Psstt…. HM, I’ll give you a five spot for the two on the far right (one for me, one for the wife)

Comment by Huddy's Mama
2007-06-28 15:14:09

Ok, but keep the 5 spot. I’m all about doing good deeds lately. Yesterday a guy asked me to sell him 2 AA batteries (he saw me changing mine in my CD player) and I just gave them to him.

It’s good karma, ya know.

*brings other kitties to the sharing circle*

They’re too precious just to keep to myself.

These are (were) my kitties! Parents — sire: American Gothic Saratoga of Riverbend (Booger), red classic male — queen: Riverbend Casino Belle (Cassie) McTortie female. All are doing well and thriving in their loving homes from coast to coast in the USA — from Washington (state) to Urbana, IA to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Most of them, I gave to friends. I am so pleased to see my babies on the TDK! Thank you, Kittenmaster!

Awww, how lucky to get all those fluffy, colorful kitties! I love the names! They’re so creative (I’m historically terrible at coming up with cat names - usually ends up “Mr. Kitty”), especially the boys’ names. I just might take a page from your book when I get my kitty.

You should try it, quite therapeutic actually, and obviously on the understanding that the kitty in question doesn’t mind.

Not the WHOLE ear of course, just the fluffy Lynx tips.

Hi Pipa’s Mum -
My Coon, Jiggs, would rip my face off if I tried that. He barely tolerates brushing. Oh, and the grey/white/tan guy in today’s littler looks like Jiggs when he was a baby.

I’m lovin’ these batches of kittens this week. It has been a very long time since there’s been a kitten in my house and I haven’t lived with a litter of kittens since I was a little girl. In many ways I’m still a little girl trapped in a 43 year old body.

Stadisticly to be in your fourties in this century is considered by far the best age for women!
You actually still are a little girl silly! ;-)

Comment by Kate the Grate
2007-06-28 16:25:55

I “wash” my Desdemona’s face, by licking my finger and brushing it over her face. I find nothing strange in ear-sucking at all. I would do it if my cats would allow such familiarity.

A couple of years ago, I took a trip to Spain for three whole weeks, and when I returned I was so overwhelmed with love and adoration that I almost started licking all of them. It was a close call-

Hey, share please………………………….they are just to adorable to keep all to yourself. The dark one looks like my pysco Pricilla. If they are anything alike, she will give you a run for your money. I’ll take her if you can’t handle her. NO problem.

I agree Orangies are the best head bonkers. Toby runs at you full speed ahead to do it. Thanks for all the happy thoughts sent to Toby. It worked, he was given a clean bill of health yesterday. And his ears are perfect, although there was a little nerve damage and he gets a lazy third eyelid sometimes. Redford is a beauty and Toby voted for him.

Would you all mind voting for Toby too? (different contest) he needs a little self esteem boost after his stressful few weekes.
