Xena — proud (and very pretty) warrior goddess kitty. She MUST be obyed! (But then….who could resist her expectant mews?)

Silvery little angel-hair kitty! I just want to kiss her and stroke those delicate ears! Look at her fur-aura! She grows her own halo.

Xena is purrfection with four pretty paws.

what would a xena and oskar kitten look like?????

Just when you think they cannot get any cuter….

We have had an outstanding month of kittykind. Loads of
adorable babies and Xena is no exception with her soft gray
fluffyness. Thank you to TDK, you have made a rough month
better for all of us.

OH MY—she looks like such a lady like lil angel. What a beautiful gorgeous kitty!! Thank you for sharing…

What a proper looking young lady.

I agree the offspring of Xena & Oskar would be beautiful. Lots of fluff.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed their locations this week. So far I’ve had approximately 29 responses. Proving cat lovers are the nicest people. Will come up with totals & areas of the world later.

Xena is so adorable! I wanna pick her up and lay a kiss behind her ear!

What an adorable white fuzzball!

*Fluffy Fuzz!*

xena & oskar? I have first dibs on any offspring!!! Oreo spent two hours last night chasing bed mice, while I was TRYING to get to sleep…..she finally settled down when “Countdown” came on- I think she likes Keith Olberman. T

If anyone is a NASCAR fan, this is a link to buy a great book—Pit Road Pets–NASCAR stars and their pets—-

http://www.pitroadpets.com/

and here is the great part:
100% of the Ryan Newman Foundation’s portions of the net proceeds from this book will be donated to the Humane Society of Catawba County’s capital campaign to build a no-kill animal shelter, education center, dog park and regional public low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Hickory, North Carolina. The facility will serve the region from the mountains to the piedmont of North Carolina, which encompasses the heart of NASCAR country.

Xena! Warrior Kitten! “Forged in the heat of battle…” oh, maybe not.
“AIY…YIYIYIYIYIYI!!” FUZZ

An angel in kitten form.

Xena looks like a Shaded Silver or a Himilayan. Either way, she is absolutely beautiful!

“I’m ready for my close up, Mr. de Mille….”

*She Looks Soooooo Sweet* Thanks For Sharing

*Warrior FUzz*

Absolutely gorgeous kitten - and what a great picture!

The following link is for those who may have missed my post a few weeks ago—it’s to ask your senators to oppose a bill that would require the USPS to continue shipping day-old baby chicks as common cargo. The video that a USPS employee took of the dead and dying chicks was heart-breaking.

I think Chester had a great idea why don’t we all add our state/country after our name. It is nice to know how far and wide all of our fur lovin’ friends are from. You don’t have to if you don’t want to or in the “witness protection program”.

OH SO CUTE KITTEN, SOFT FUR FUZZ

That gorgeous kitten looks like a blue pointe himmie to me……………..

WHERE’S MY CRYSTAL DISH FILLED WITH FOOD??

Xena, Princess of Floofiness!

I haven’t been able to comment much recently due to being extremely busy at work, but I do always check out the kitten of the day. Xena is absolutely gorgeous and I’d love to see a picture of her grown up too.

I’m in Lomita (Los Angeles area) California

I must be slow….did anyone else notice that the kittenbreak.com site also has a puppybreak section? I may have to quite my job….haha

‘Watching Mamma Intently FUZZZ’
or
‘Etiquette School Valedictorian FUZZZ’

She’s precious! - Looks like she’s eying a bird - very cute furrball!

I don’t know if it’s Xena or it’s the “Friday-afternoon” effect… I suddenly lost all will to work… thank God my supervisor isn’t in today

Now, I should skip the rest of the day and have some tea with Xena instead. Anyone with me? lol

Mini tear-jerker coming up!

“The Animals’ Savior”
Copyright Jim Willis 1999

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter…the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry.
“God,” I said, “this is terrible! Why don’t you do something?”
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
“I have done something,” He replied.
“I created You.”

Maybe it’s the gloomy, rainy day in Tampa, but I feel the need to read and share tear-jerker stories—-tissue alert for this next story….

*Free Kittuns*
An Essay by Jim Willis, Copyright 2002
http://cats.about.com/cs/kittencare/a/freekittuns.htm

The sign on the mailbox post was hand-lettered on cardboard and read “FREE KITTUNS.” It appeared there two or three times a year, sometimes spelled this way, sometimes that, but the message was always the same.

In a corner of the farmhouse back porch was a cardboard box with a dirty towel inside, on which huddled a bouquet of kittens of different colors, mewing and blinking and waiting for their mama to return from hunting in the fields. The mother cat managed to show them enough interest for the first several weeks, but after having two or three litters per year, she was worn out and her milk barely lasted long enough for her babies to survive.

One by one, people showed up over the next several days and each took a kitten. Before they left the woman who lived there always said the same thing, “You make sure you give that one a good home - I’ve become very attached to that one.”

One by one the kittens and their new people drove down the long driveway and past the sign on the mailbox post, “FREE KITTUNS.”

The ginger girl kitten was the first to be picked.
Her four-year-old owner loved her very much, but the little girl accidentally injured the kitten’s shoulder by picking her up the wrong way. She couldn’t be blamed really - no adult had shown her the proper way to handle a kitten. She had named the kitten “Ginger” and was very sad a few weeks later when her older brother and his friends were playing in the living room and someone sat on the kitten.

The solid white boy kitten with blue eyes was the next to leave with a couple who announced even before they went down the porch steps that his name would be “Snowy.” Unfortunately, he never learned his name and everyone had paid so little attention to him that nobody realized he was deaf. On his first excursion outside he was run over in the driveway by a mail truck.

The pretty gray and white girl kitten went to live on a nearby farm as a “mouser.” Her people called her “the cat,” and like her mother and grandmother before her she had many, many “free kittuns,” but they sapped her energy. She became ill and died before her current litter of kittens was weaned.

Another brother was a beautiful red tabby. His owner loved him so much that she took him around to meet everyone in the family and her friends, and their cats, and everyone agreed that “Erik” was a handsome boy. Except his owner didn’t bother to have him vaccinated. It took all the money in her bank account to pay a veterinarian to treat him when he became sick, but the doctor just shook his head one day and said “I’m sorry.”

The solid black boy kitten grew up to be a fine example of a tomcat. The man who adopted him moved shortly thereafter and left “Tommy” where he was, roaming the neighborhood, defending his territory, and fathering many kittens until a bully of a dog cornered him.

The black and white girl kitten got a wonderful home. She was named “Pyewacket.” She got the best of food, the best of care until she was nearly five years old. Then her owner met a man who didn’t like cats, but she married him anyway. Pyewacket was taken to an animal shelter where there were already a hundred cats. Then one day, there were none.

A pretty woman driving a van took the last two kittens, a gray boy and a brown tiger-striped girl. She promised they would always stay together. She sold them for fifteen dollars each to a laboratory. To this day, they are still together…in a jar of alcohol.

For whatever reason - because Heaven is in a different time zone, or because not even cat souls can be trusted to travel in a straight line without meandering - all the young-again kittens arrived at Heaven’s gate simultaneously. They batted and licked each other in glee, romped for awhile, and then solemnly marched through the gate, right past a sign lettered in gold: “YOU ARE FINALLY FREE, KITTENS.”

Angelic.

When my nephew moved me up here he got rid of my two boys I write about Domino and Taffy. They sprayed and he had to pay for new carpeting. I am disabled and he pays for part of my bills I had no say so in the matter. I have loving memories of them and look at the TDK to get my warm fuzzy feelings each day. He works 12 hours a day so he doesn’t pay much attention to their cat but to me my boys were my friends and the reason I got up in the morning. That is the reason I don’t have any pets as I don’t think he would let me and my heart is still broken after two and a half years.

I love can never wait to get home to see what this site has to offer. I enjoy you all very much even if I am one of the last ones to see and read everything.

But I wanted to let you know Indianapolis, IN home of the 500 and Brickyard 400 is represented.

Xena looks so clean and neat, a proper Little Miss!

To balance all the tearful and sad things we’ve had today, can I add these puss-orientated definitions?

Catsup…come on human, breakfast time
Catapillar…vertical scratching post
Catalogue…horizontal ditto
Catalyst…don’t forget my favourite fish from the supermarket
Catacombs…grooming time
Catatonic…if I’m off-colour from too many mouse-treats
Catalo…seaside paddling vehicle
Cataphoric…ecstatic state induced in humans by proximity of beauteous self
Catamount…not mentioned in polite company
Cataract…pretending I haven’t seen them when they’re aching to show me off to a visitor
and lastly,
Magnificat…correct mode of address from human to cats.

Dee-thanks, you got me with that last story. I was 16 when i got my first “full” time job so i could get my cats to the vet. I could never let my cats have a litter, for the fear of the kitties ending up like in that story. Put it this way-Love me, Love my CATS

My heart is breaking from all the sad stories. Unfortunately, many people believe that cats are “disposable” pets. I am owned by 8 cats who are sometimes a pain in the butt and almost always messy and expensive. But they are my furr-babies. I will love them and care for them all to the end (mine or theirs!)

*Blue Blood Fuzz*

Her fur looks SO soft…I just want to touch it right at the fluffy edges!

She is a Movie Star!

I look at the kittens here every day, but this is my first post. My 7 cats and I live in Powder Springs, GA, about 20 miles Northwest of Atlanta. We also have a dog, a corgi/beagle/? mix, but he knows his place!

Is there anything as perfect as a kitten? Or cat, for that matter.

I live in Newnan, GA, but was born in Seattle, raised up and down the west coast, have worked in WA, ID, CA, PA, MD, VA, NM and finally, here. Hope to stay for a while!

She’s just beautiful! Son soft and sweet looking.

What a precious picture! Xena is absolutely gorgous. Took my breath awaay when I saw it. What a cute little fuzz ball! Wonder if her color will change when she gets older?

It’s the Garden Princess Xena, excellent photo! And she’s is exquisite.

What a sweet sweet ball of grey fluff.

Xena is such a dainty looking little girl! Very sweet.

i want my cat to be that small

*o.m.g* your cat is beautiful!! i
