Peanut

PeanutPeanut was found on a doorstep one morning. My friend brought him to me to see if I could help. When I got him, he was in bad shape. I bottle-fed him and kept him warm and clean for two days until I could find a surrogate mother cat. This picture was taken a day after I had him. You can see by the smile on his face that he’s happy and warm. He now has a new mom and siblings and lives in a mansion with people who love cats.

When I saw this baby I went into mommy mode. I just wanted to curl around him and snuggle and protect him. No wonder you took him in! We need lots more people like you!

(I wish we could see what he looks like now-he would make a great candidate for Kats’ cat of the day!)

Isn’t he just adorably precious!! He does look like a little jellybean…or a Ty baby! Where’s his little red heart tag?!

BAGHEERA—-WHAT’S THE LATEST BIRD UPDATE?

2006-03-24 12:28:31

Weeeeeell… as I was on my 45 mile commute home Wednesday, I got a call from Bryan-Gheeri knocked the cage down. He cleaned up, and after we ate dinner-down the cage went again. Yesterday we got him his own cage (we had borrowed a cage), and put it in the bedroom in a corner. While I had been setting up the new cage, I left him on the floor, and she just sat there staring-didn’t attack or anything. So last night she behaved, and no bad calls so far today…. we shall see. Next week I am buying one of those stands that has a hook to hang the cage. We are debating names: Bryan likes Cesar, I like Oscar. We shall see…

I have to say that I’m partial to Oscar! That would be because I have an Oscar. Cesear is good too.

I think that should win the *Cutest Daily Kitten Award* !! The kittenmaster should have a poll to vote on which Daily Kitten they think is the cutest.

I can’t stop looking at him!

This is the sweetest little baby. Too bad his life started out badly, but sounds like it has a happy ending. He does look like he has a smile on his face. He looks so cuddly warm doesnt he? I just want to curl up w/him!!

peanut is so cute it is amazing how people can just drop off little animals left and right that is not a good thing to do that is stupid i have a dog named stiller that someone dropped off behind a TRASHCAN OMG how low can someone go to drop an inocent animal off god if i could make a law that if you drop of an animal you get the dealth penality or something harsh but it is a good thing most animals that get dropped off go to a good home like peanut and my puppy stiller. B-)

The first thing out of my mouth was “Oh My Gosh!”
So tiny yet so happy! Do they purr when they are that tiny? If so, it must be adorable, just like Peanut.

I’m like Bagheera: Speechless

Comment by caroline

He can purr.. Kittens can start purring at about 2 days old. It helps reassure ma ma cat that all is well. :)

Rita warned me about today’s DK. I was still unprepared. What a sweet-pea. I don’t know what else to say. Everyone else has said it already.

Sigh. If that little guy were mine, I wouldn’t get anything done. I would just watch over him all the time.

So effective to have the person’s fingers in the photo to give us a scale for just how tiny this angelic little furrball really is.

Looks like Peanut is all wrapped up in a baby’s receiving blanket. How appropriate! He is so precious; glad he has a good home now. It must have been hard to give him up though.

I, too, went directly into Mumma-mode. What a sweet tiny baby–blessings on you for all the care this tiny Peanut needed, and you gave. I thought Meowmepurr was tiny when I she came to me, but Peanut is truly tiny.

I’m finally back from Las Vegas–four days of eating, smoking, gambling and shopping–it’s a good thing I don’t drink anymore! We had a great time, won a little money(but I spent it all) and I’m pooped!!

I’ve just spent about 2 hours going through the kittens & posts I missed while I was gone. I love the 2 new blogs, but will never abandon The Daily Kitten. Our Kittenmaster Rocks!!!

For the Where Are You? Gang, I live in Southwest Washington State, just North of Portland, OR. We live 10 miles out of town, part way up a mountain, overlooking the Mighty Columbia River and Mount Hood.

This wonderful picture brings back memories! It is almost exactly two years since the stray I took in gave birth. It was so wonderful to see those tiny helpless creatures grow cuter and bigger every day. And just when I had to give them up to their new homes, my veterinarian’s office called me to see if I could take a week old kitten that had been rescued and brought to them. Of course, my cat still had milk…and now her foster daughter gladdens my house with her antics, along with mama, my original two boys and the two other strays who turned up afterward!

Peanut is the tiniest kitty I’ve ever seen. Can’t be more than several weeks old. Such a sleeping sweetie. A big Thank You for taking the time to care for this little bundle of love. Glad to hear he has a great new home now and enjoying his caring family.

Hey

So I don’t usually comment (cough, lurker, cough), but this little guy just made me coo, and my roommate is looking at me like that’s a bad thing. Lucky little guy. I bet he’s a handful now!

As to the “where are you” comments, I’m in Cairo, Egypt for six months or so.

lucky little baby kitty!

*AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!* What a darling! Peanut’s is a bitter-sweet story, but I’m glad it has a happy ending.

God bless you and people like you for taking care of God’s little creatures. Remember, Jesus said that which you do for the least among you, you do for him. Keep up the good work!

It’s hard to type while reeling from the extreme cuteness, but I had to say BLESS YOU for saving peanut.

I agree with Jessica that cruelty to animals should carry harsh penalties. The idea of abandoning a helpless little innocent like this just makes me sick.

How lucky to find a surrogate mom cat!
I’ve bottle raised kittens and it’s hard work.
He’s got the good life now in a mansion, the little tiger’s the king of his castle.

OMG…Maddie looks exactly like our Onyx…even to the hair loss by the ears…and the little bits of white fur mixed in all that black….I wonder if it has something to do with that particular breed….and does anyone know what that breed is? We took him in as a stray also….so we haven’t a clue as to what he is…..other than a spoiled brat…LOL…..and as to where we are…..Richmond VA….now to Peanut….the perfect baby pic….so sweet and innocent….for now that is…..LOL

He is the sweetest thing ever. I am about to cry thinking about someone leaving this poor defenseless baby on someone’s doorstep, thank god, it was someone who loves babies, and took him in and took care of him. He looks to helpless to have made it on his own.

What a sweet little ball of fur! He is so lucky to have found someone to take care of him. Hats off to you for doing that! Must be pretty young, My cat found me when she was young and pregnant and decided to have 6 kittens under my carport. Gave the kittens to homes, kept the mother, a grey Persion mix, long haired and very affectionate. Of course, she won’t have any more kittens, but won’t let other cats near our house either!

Oh My Gosh! How adorable!! He looks so peaceful and content. Thank you so much for looking out for him. You are truly a blessing.

This is my first post, but I have been coming to this site every day for about a month and love to read what you all have to say. I have 4 cats at the moment, but at one time fed up to 10, all strays. I have a sign outside my front door that says, All strays welcome here” and the neighborhood cats know it well.

Anyway, thank you again for your love of this “Peanut”. I sure he will grow into a great ball of Fuzz.
