B.B. (after B.B. King)

Location: Sydney, Australia

BB was adopted at six weeks old. The day after I posted an Internet message asking how best to adopt a feline, he was abandoned on the netball courts near my apartment block and found by some kids who live in our building. They brought him to me in a shoebox, flea-ridden and asleep. Fate? I like to think so. He’s now King of the (two-bedroom) castle and will be even if I adopt another meow-meow. BB likes scrounging bites of tuna, stalking insects, hiding in windowsills behind curtains, and staging sneak attacks at ankles.

He could be king of any household, including mine, although Rusty and Megan may have something to say about that! What a lucky little doll. Thank you so much for taking him in and alowing yourself to dwell in his presence.

Good morning TDK land, hope its a good one.

This little fuzz looks hyper-alert!
Hope he enjoys reading ANIMALIA, which he has a paw on… He might like Harry Potter, too.

B.B’s also got his paws on ALCHEMY and FALLING ANGELS!… how very apropos!! He certainly sounds Heaven-Sent AND a real GEM to me!! Here he is displaying his”I am King of All I Survey!” pose.
B.B IS THE KING!! :)

Siobhan - I just joined this site and saw your post - may I wish you a Happy Birthday? I was 62 on 10/30 - as my husband says, ready to file for social security. I’ve also got 4 at the RB - at least four since I got married - can’t count all the ones from my childhood. - This is a very cute kitten. I’d love to have a little one around the house.

Happy Birthday Siobhan!
You are a youngster!

Cute little B.B. I have a Hootie at the bridge for
Hootie and the Blowfish!

I hope BB gives you as much happiness as Hootie has
given us!

OMG - what a gorgeous little bookend! Man, I’d adopt him if I could in a heartbeat, and if I lived in a two-bedroom, I would definitely add another. Far, far too cute.

OH! What a cutie - he looks like a cheeky little monkey for sure! He could certainly come and be king of our castle - as long as he realizes that there is already a queen - and she’s in charge! :-D

This BB surely is not singing the blues! What a handsome boy. He can join my book club any time.

Ask for a cat and God gives you one.
Cute kitten.
That’s how we got ours.
We wanted one and it arrived at our door one night.

He sure looks like a live wire! Primed and ready to pounce.

Animalia is one of my favorite books, too.

What a little sweetheart! Does he have “Lucille” too?

BB looks scholarly sitting pretty on all them books! I’m sure you have a well-read fuzz.

Kittenmaster - I am still having problems posting a new thread on TDK Chat! What am I doing wrong???
I tried reposting the thread from yesterday and it just doesn’t show up.
Today I have a 2nd thread to start, but I’m sure it won’t show up either.

Hello:

Bless you for taking in this boy doll. May you have many purrfect years together. Make sure you get him his shots. Either take him to the vest or go to your local chain drugstore. He is a cutie!

This comment is so late I don’t know if anyone will see it (sorry, it’s been one of those weeks). After reading some of the stories here about some brats being mean to kittens, it’s great to see some responsible kids rescue a cat and find him a home. Thank you kids!

BB, you’re one lucky kitten. Be nice to your family now and show them how much fun you are.
