We found Minou wandering on the streets. My fiancée immediately fell in love with this cutie, and I did too. The hard part will be making Pelmo — the resident Elder Cat Emperor — behave well with her.

I love the balance with color and line of Minou and the artwork on the wall. A very adorable and artful photo! Good job Minou’s parents, and congratulations on your new kitty.
I’m glad when kitties get rescued, whether they’re cute little kitten-mushes like this one, or older ones - they’re all deserving of good homes - yay ^_^
I love the sort of… split, in colour on her face - makes her ever so purty ^_^
Oh how cute, and that half and half face is so perfect! She looks like she is interested in something. Hope your new kitty gets along with the senior one good luck.
Awwww! My grandma had a calico cat named Minou when I was growing up that looked a lot like this little sweetie! I think it just means like cute little cat in French.
My husband came in just as I clicked on this link, took one look at that sweet little half-and-half face, and pronounced Minou “Yin-Yang Kitty.” Regardless, she’s a sweetie.
What a cutie - I have one that was found in my apartment parking lot with similar markings except she couldn’t decide whether to be tortie or calico, or tiger. Her name is Cayenne. Down here in Louisiana, Minou is Cajun for “Little Cat” and comes from the “Mew” sound they make! By the Way - hang on to that fiance’ of yours - he’s a good guy!
As far as I know, Minou is also Canadian French for “Kitten.” I didn’t know it was the same in Cajun, but I suppose that only makes sense. I think the name suits this little kitty perfectly!
Aww. . .I used to have a Minou, but he was all black. Minou is a typical cat name in French, sort of like our Fido for a dog. But if Minou is calico, she’s probably female, and therefore the French would call her Minette. Whatever you call her, she’s a cutie!
I am so glad you took this wanderer in and gave her a forever home. She’s a cutie. Hope Pelmo will get used to her. Just introduce them slowly. She does know how to pose. Bless you for loving her.
awwwwww she is soooooooo cute. love the colors and markings. her face and paws are adorable! bless you for rescuing this sweetie n hopefully it’ll all work out with your resident emperor! it may take some time but with love and patience, all things are possible good luck!
Hi! Cathi!
When you will visit my new blog? Sniff…
Your fiancée is really a catlover like you it´s very good!
My husband loves cats too
God bless your day! bye
Ok I’m confused. All I did was crack A few jokes & I got sensurerd. Unlike several people on here who use profanity. All I did was refer to the human condition. Which I might add
was not as bad a somethings others said. And was a lot worse than what I said out of widley excepted humor.
I guess people can send all kinds of letters with tear jerking results But if I make light of the human condition Then I’m wrong. I guess I got it wrong that people was suppose to say more than Oh whata cutie.
We love your kitty and that interesting and unusual coloring! May the Lord bless you for rescuing this sweetie and bless Minou for just being who she is.
Minou reminds me of Patches McGillicutty - also a beautiful calico with a split face (and butt!). Patches had a feline version of cerebral palsy - she would run across the room, but couldn’t stop on her own so she’d run into the wall, fall down, get up and say, OK - I’m OK - what’s the next game! She was with me for 17 years. Perhaps her loving and optimistic soul is reincarnated here.
I love calico’s and Torti’s. I have a 6 month old torti that also had to adapt to a 10 year old orange male who looks at her with all the interest of something he nasty his paw stepped in. She’s almost his size now and is a little terror to him because he won’t play with her and since he only bats her around a little she knows she can get away with it

*Another Louisiana Cat-Fan!*
What can I say, but *Geaux Tigers!*
Y’all take care, and keep your paws clean.
If you give the youngster and the old ‘un simultaneous belly rub therapy they will learn to get on well together that much sooner
As far as I know, Minou is also Canadian French for “Kitten.” I didn’t know it was the same in Cajun, but I suppose that only makes sense.
I think the name suits this little kitty perfectly!
She’s precious. I’m glad you rescued her.

What a picture-perfect kitty! Minou is adorable
Leaning Tower of Kitty.
Minou looks like she’s ready for the feline version of Fathom of the Opera. Very cute.

Calico cats rule! They represent the union of all cat races: tan, black and white.
I just wanted to say i think your kitty is beautiful and as i read thru your Comments it brought tears to my eyes. I love this site.
What a beautiful sun-and-moon face and a little bundle of love.
I love your analogy! I have to agree, she does look like she has a sun and moon face.
Oh she is so adorable and beautiful!

This is a bifurcated cat. With the emphasis on fur cat! Love it.
Love her markings. She is beautiful. Enjoy the new member of her family

She has the most striking markings that I’ve seen in a Tortie and is just a cutie. Hope you enjoy her and her antics that only a kitten can provide.
I am in love with this cutie!!! Is it a boy or girl? If it is a girl and she has kittens that look like her, I want one!! Beautiful coloring!
