Baby
Location: Cainari, Republic of Moldova
This is Baby, my kitten from Peace Corps Moldova. As a kitten he followed me everywhere and slept on my neck. As he got older he became “top Cat” of the household by kicking out the stray male Tom and getting first dibs on chicken scraps. He would always come when called and cried for a squirt during the morning/evening milking.
Pounce! He’s a pretty baby.
Beautiful little orangie!
Cute beyond belief!
Absolutely off the meter cute!!!!! If you need a smile just visit TDK everyday!! Really cute these last few days.
Corn baby FUZZ! I want to cuddle him!
Wow, Catherine, you beat me by only .11 seconds!
Have you ever seen pics of kitties getting squirted while someone is milking the cows? So cute!!!
Of course, there are few things kitties can do that aren’t cute.
Kitten of the Corn Fuzz???
Aw, man, ya beat me to it.
Watch out, though, Catherine! I got cat-stigated last week for looking at a claw-bearing fuzzbut and comparing him to Freddy Kreuger! Living in Waco might open you to “strike two”!
I was thinking Kitten of the Corn, too. Who said lost in the maize? That was clever.
Not lost in the maize FUZZ
GOOD ONE!!!!
I was going to say Harvest Fuzz! But it’s not nearly as clever.
What a cutie. And harvest colored too!
Yea, and it would have been pretty corny too, Ginny
oops, I mean Jennifer. I am so used to Ginny doing the silly comments I was on auto pilot
Ouch! very punny =)
Aw-w-w-w-w, Instinct! That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me!
What a lovely Baby! And such amazing eyes - I wonder if they stayed blue-ish, or if they changed to orange?
OH come here Baby! Doesn’t he have the most wonderful color of eyes? How much cuter can things get?
Another creamsicle kitty. Yum
What a beautiful Baby. Let’s away to the sharing circle.
Baby, is a beautiful little orangie!! Wonder if he was able to be brought back with the Peace Corp volunteer or left there.
Bountiful Harvest Fuzz
“Nobody puts Baby in the corner!” he is such a handsome kittey. good morning to all TDKer’s hope your Tuesday is fantastic.
What a cutie! Great picture for the fall - this picture would make a great postcard.
Baby, baby, oooooh baby! Just want to snuggle with baby.
Good morning TDK’ers, happy not Monday anymore!
He looks so sweet and tiny in the picture. But he obviously is a fiesty little guy if he’s taken over the household!
Sometimes I think the tinier they come, the feistier they are. Those two rings at the very end of his tail are way too adorable!
I’d like to send that post card to Dorie, Joan. What do you think? So sweet, sweet corn for a sweet baby.
He looks like my Buttercup!
that’s a beautiful picture. it would be appropriate for one of the arty-er, non-cheesy books or calendars. i don’t know where Moldova stands regarding bringing animals into the US from there. and if Baby was happy and safe where he was, moving him wouldn’t always be a good idea.
i moved back to the US from Denmark several years ago, and was happy to see that Denmark (as an EU country) was on the safe list - obviously the pet must be healthy and able to travel - but does not require extensive quarantine or isolation. this meant that i could move home with Freja, my beloved Danish tuxedo cat. She’s now been here for almost four years as an expat cat.
Baby is obviously a little survivor!
I can recommend “From Baghdad With Love”, the book about a soldier’s efforts to bring a canine friend home from Iraq. I know it’s about mere dogs, but still a moving story.
Rowan, so glad you brought Freja with you!
My black Pushkin gets neurotic if we leave home for 2 days (he has emotional dependency issues).
T read about that in a magazine. Hoiw darling!!
Top Cat FUZZ
Autumn Harvest FUZZ
What an appropiate picture for fall!! He even blends in. He sounds just adorable!!!
Hey Huddy’s Mama,
How have you been? I miss you girl!!
A baby with attitude. He’s a cutie.
Rowan - are you Danish or did you just live there? Your name is not Danish, but your Kitty’s name is. I’m Danish, myself!
Baby is a cutie! Does anyone know where Moldova is?
What a cute little orangie! A great autumn picture.
NOBODY puts Baby in the corn-er!
Owwwww! Owwwww. Owwwww.
Oh, groan…
*puts up a ‘caution:low flying jokes’ sign*
how could anyone resist a kitten that follows you everywhere and then sleeps on your neck? Baby is such a little sweetie in that pic! Love the blue eyes, I’ll bet he’s purring at the photographer and looking to get picked up and cuddled…
Omigosh! So cute! I’d love a wallpaper-sized version of this photo. It’s perfect for fall!
Very cute picture and as someone mentioned, a good picture for a cat calendar. From the sound of it, I trust you took this wonderful kitty home with you when you were finished with the Peace Corps.
A very cute kitten and great harvest composition. Sounds like the last sentence was written in past tense. Does that mean Baby is not with you anymore?
Such a sweet little face. Looking up for a kiss, perhaps?!?
Yesssss!I am going to try and ’save as’ wallpaper!
What a cutie !!
Yes, it worked. I right clicked on the photo and
then clicked “set as wallpaper” and there he is!
my heart melts for creamcicle kitties
Just look at those big pointy ears! Such a cutie pie he is.
He does look like he’s mischevous as well.
What a hansome little gentleman!!
Baby’s gonna’ grow up to be full-GROWN Tigerpaw ain’tcha buddeee? This pcture is soo kewl i’m-a’na zip out a print and hang it on my ‘fridge right about….(whiiiir!)…. NOW!
What a cutie.
Now that Elene mentions it, you do use the past tense “he would”. What happened to Baby? I hope he went home with you and lived out his life with you.
Such a cute little fellow in a very neat picture. I love kittens that sleep on your neck especially when they purr and then stick their noce in your ear. Ohh!
Moldova is between Romania and the Ukraine. Now how close is that to Transylvania? Sorry–getting twitchy for Halloween.
Playful among the ears of corn
In a faraway land Baby was born
Adopted by a kindly volunteer
He always keeps his human near.
What a beautiful Baby! Hope he did manage to come home, or was found a good home locally. Moldova eh? We are truly international!!
Candy Corn Kitten?
Look! Its baby corn!!!
heeheeehee
(i crack myself up)
*looks down from chair above tennis court*
“Advantage, Elaine!”
Kittycat corn (and I don’t care)
OK, so I do care
Oh what a great addition he would be to my household.
Or am I being too corn-y?
Would love to see how he loooks now.
What a guy!
What a cutie with long pointy ears. Beautiful baby.
Baby has the sweetest face!!! what a great pic for fall…posing in the corn…too cute
Love that sweet little face looking up! Awesome picture!
What a striking Baby!
He’s a doll.
Love this picture, too!
’s a corn-ucopia of kitteny cuteness!

Ha-ha!

What an a-maizing wee kitty. Had to say it, just a-maized no-one else had.
“You call it corn…we call it maize.”
Sweet little kitten!
sufferin succatash what a cute Baby!!
I love Baby, so brash and bold…
One of the things I love in kitties is their eloquent tails and this tail says “I am afraid of nothing. Pick me up and cuddle me!”
Oh my God u r soo cute baby!!
