    How cute is she. Lucky cat. Good for you to save her. Now she doesn’t have to worry. She’s got a good life.

    Contented kitty? Relaxed kitty? Whatever she is, she’s cute and looks to be happy slumbering away there. :-)

    What a sweat little baby. By the looks of her paws she just might grow up to be a big girl.

    Best of luck with her she is beautiful.

    Rosie, dearest, Thomas is prob. a Yank (Keith Olbermann) and we use it quite frequently over here. You know how we just love ruining the Queen’s English.

    I do LOVE the way you used FUZZ in saying that Nattie didn’t give a fuzz… clever girl.

    Very cute Kitty with tons of character, especially the tail and feet. She looks well fed and who knows how long she would have survived out on her own.

    *BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOU NEW MOMMY, NATTIE*

    I love when my little girl “Kiara” is sleeping, she always puts her one paw over her nose. She is my pride and joy next to my three kiddies (ha ha) children.

    I have one cat who has to sleep right behind me so I can’t move. Or his second favorite place in on my side. He weighs 14 lbs. Not a light guy at all.

    LOL *I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!* My Gheeri doesn’t look big, but she’s stocky (they get that way when you spay them…)
    Her FAVE thing to do is when we wake up but haven’t gotten out of bed, she climbs on our stomachs/backs and purrs and rubs and makes pizza dough out of us… lol I love my Gheeri….
    Hey Danielle, you GOTTA see what some girl said about me on Mitchu’s blog… Boy am I glad most of us here are friends. I didn’t bother responding, I don’t need to defend myself… talk to you later!

    Isn’t it funny how they always go right over your bladder to knead in the morning? If my hubby isn’t home from work, thats how our older cat wakes me up, she’ll lick my arm til i roll onto my back to get away from her then all 10 lbs up on my stomach right above my bladder and kneading, it’s a heck of a wake up call! I’m glad he’s not late often LOL.

    Hi Danielle

    My previous cat “NEWTON” weighed approximately 14 lbs and sleeped at the end of my bed on top of my feet. After he died of lung cancer back in October 05 I couldn’t sleep, not only from sadness but from not having the weight on my feet. I really do miss him, even though I now have “KIARA” there will never be another kitty like him.

    I miss you Newton! :(

    I am sorry for your loss. We had a girl who was going to be put down on feb 3 05 but she decided to go by herself the day before. It is so sad. She was one of the family. She helped me through some rough times. They will always be with us in our hearts and memories. Have fun with Kiara. Don’t forget Newton.

    Thanks, I needed that! just having a (SAD) day.
    Every morning when I turn on my computer Newton is and will always be my wallpaper. I say good morning to him and touch his little nose.

    By this time Kiara is on my lap say “Hey, what about me!”

    Thanks again!

    Linda,
    Sad days are ok. I have two kids and they have sad days thinking about our cat. We also had a dog who died. About two months befeore our cat. My kids still cry. I just get sad. I cried for a few weeks. So sad days are ok. It does get eaiser. Hang in there.
    Sorry about the D-word. LOL

    Linda…

    I certainly understand how you feel, too. 4 years ago I had to put my little KC down because she got really really sick. She was 18 years old and such a little pip-squeak! (I think she must have been the runt of the litter). I still miss her soooo much.

    But on the positive note…about 4-5 yrs. after I got KC, I adopted a little abused cat (named KiKi). She was always in KC’s shadow, but since KC’s passing, she has truly become this out-going, loving little ball of furr! KiKi is almost 18 now!

    So your little Kiara knows what she’s doing! Give her lots of extra love and attention!

    Thanks Pam

    Newton was only 10 years old when his life on earth here ended. We all thought we had atleast another 5-8 years with him. Just stopped eating one day, made a vet visit to see why, and took some x-rays because they heard weezing and there is was CANCER!

    What a shock and it really sucked telling my three kids that there only pet they ever knew was going to die.

    Well, Kiara is now 4 months old and much a part of our family. She has brought life back to our home.

    *FUZZY LEGS* She is going to be one tall little girl. I just got my morning bite– Meeps (Meowmepurr) likes to sleep in Mumma’s computer chair in the morning, and getting her to give it back gets a little interesting at times. BTW, did anyone notice that the Anon. Rant disappeared from Mitchu’s page? Does the Kittenmaster censor us?

    Yes, I do - I’m happy to leave you to your own devices most of the time, but I’d like to keep it a fluffy, friendly place as much as possible.

    If I think people are being spiteful or unfriendly, I will delete those comments and those of the people who respond.

    Thank you, Kittenmaster. We all like “fluffy”. As for sleeping styles, we have the “Kitten Pile.” When we are all cuddled down and ready to sleep, Flumpy(my husband named him) flumps in behind Paul’s legs and Meeps climbs on top of us, makes a few biscuits, and settles down–on both of us. Very comfy–until it gets HOT!

    Nattie looks like she’s all worn out. Time for a real good snooze. She’ll be a big girl looking at the size of her long legs and big feet. I hope her wildness has tamed down now that she’s in a loving home.

The new kitten comes up just after 7am here on the Other Coast, and since I’m retired, I NEVER got up this early–until now! BTW, I’ve been voting like mad for you and Bryan.

    Meow’s M-(fingers crossed) Yes, WHEN I win, I shall post pix (I get a professional to take them!). By the way, if anyone is in the Miami area and is free that Friday…. (BTW, I love your cats’ names!)

    danielle- I HAVE lost my fuzzy mind…. do you guys have ANY IDEA how awful it is to wait until the 16th to find out the results???

    Linda-so sorry about your Newtie-boy. I wish I was able to have my Meeki-bear a little longer as well. You NEVER get over the *great* cats in your life. I mean, you have cats that you love, and cats you *adore*. Everyone know what I mean? You know, you think it’s awful to play fave’s when you have more than 1 fuzzball, but deep down, you KNOW you have a favorite… Meeko was mine, until someone decided that they should have him instead…

    I am sorry to hear of the losses of your cats–about 2 years ago I had to let my Lucy go–she was 28 years old and I cried so hard. My son and I buried her in my parents back yard close to the creek…I still miss my Lucy Lu..

    We got Helen from the local animal shelter about a month ago. She was 6 months old and cute , cute , cute—she plays with our other cat Polly a lot. And always starts her night off in bed with me and then eventually moves to my sons bed..

Everyone gets a shot being on top….

    Adorable. Just looking at this kitten makes me sleepy.
    My own cats have this influence on me as well, watching them sleep is as good as ambien, they sleep like its a vocation.

    What a precious girl! If her position on the bed is any indication of her contentment in your house, I say there is no need for further words on how she feels about you. Best of Luck with your animal companion.

    Bagheera, I want to vote for you, but can’t figure out how to link on to the site. Am rooting for you anyway.

    Rosie you are a trip! I enjoy this site and I feel as though I am getting to know you guys by your names and posts. I check it twice a day. It makes me smile as do all of you.

    My sympathys for the losses of all the cats I’ve read about today. Having been in the same situation 4 times in the last 10 years, you have my thoughts and prayers.

    And to the Kittenmaster, thanks for watching over us. We love the site as a friendly and happy place. And the kittys are cute too!!!!

    Lynn,
    If you got to the kitten for the 7th there is a link in one of her posts. Highlight it right click copy then in the address bar right click and paste.
