Aeryn’s mummy was abandoned when she was pregnant. My coworker found the litter about a week or so after they were born. Aeryn started off very shy and didnt like anyone. Now she is the most cuddly cat I’ve ever had.

Aeryn’s a beauty. Love the one black eye.
shes soooooooooooo cute!!!!!
I loves me some calicos. They always have such expressive faces (well, at least I think they have expressive faces) with the multi-colored look.
I’m with you Fred. My calico Gracie has the most expressive face of any cat I’ve lived with.
Love the name Aeryn Sun. *Sci fi Fuzz*
good morning sunshine
What beautiful markings she has! It looks like she is wearing a little beret. And don’t get me started on those squishable paws….
Yes, I’ve made the Kitty Litter Cake. It was great fun and lots of laughs. Be sure to soften a couple of the Tootsie Rolls and hang them over the edge of the pan. It adds to the grossness.
Try it you’ll like it!
What a cute little baby! I love her black eyepatch. And that’s the pinkest little nose I’ve seen in a while.
We’re selling crafts to benefit feral cats! Take a gander at http://www.athensalleycats.etsy.com if you take the notion.
Peace,
Great stuff, m. I am happy to help out the ferals always.
*PEAK-A-BOO* … did i scare you?
too cute and you are right Dee, it does look like Aeryn has a beret on!
Wasn’t this kitty in Furscape?
That is one pretty kitty (or, probably, *BEAUTI-FUZZ*)
Sorry if you’ve seen this before, but it was in my cat protection charity newsletter this morning:
If I asked God for a tree,
He’d give me a forest
If I asked God for a stream,
He’d give me an ocean
If I asked God for a cloud,
He’d give me the sky
But if I asked God for an angel,
He’d give me a cat
I have never read that—it’s beautiful!
Daisy’sMum, this is lovely, is it OK if I borrow it? I’m going to send it some kitty loving friends of mine :))
I got it from the newsletter of the Bournemouth & District branch of Cats Protection, in England. Their website is
http://www.bournemouthcats.org.uk
The only author given is ‘Joe (aged 14)’; I don’t know where they got it from. I just tried to phone and ask, but the line was busy. I will try again, or you might like to email them - see the website, which has lots of lovely cat photos, too!
Dear Daisy’s mum, I liked the poem. It is cute, THANKS! Cats are little angels. They are so sweet and entertaining.
Is this poem an original with you as the author?
Since I moved into a new apartment in August, I thought this was very funny and TRUE!
*Ten tips for cats who are forced to relocate with their owners*
1. If you sense your owner plans to move, be on your best behavior.
Revive those terminally cute poses you used to get yourself adopted. Let your owner sleep past 5 AM. Keep your paws out of your owner’s hair.
Use the litterbox religiously. If you must throw up, head for the bathroom and skip the windowsills.
You do not want your owner to entertain thoughts like, “I don’t want to ruin the beautiful floors in our new home,” or, “You know, it’s really hard to rent an apartment when you have a cat.”
2. Here’s a great game. Jump into an empty box, stick your head out and hold the pose while your owner runs around looking for a camera. As soon as she appears, finger on snap button, turn around and point your tail at the camera.
You’ll learn some new cuss words, guaranteed.
3. The arrival of the moving van is your cue to hide. You can have lots of fun with this one.
Your owner will run around frantically, cursing the movers: “You idiots! You left the door open! Now little Furball is gone forever!”
After they’ve wasted an hour running around the neighborhood, appear out of nowhere and begin to wash. When they shriek, “Oh there she is!” and try to hug you, summon an aloof glare and wash your face again.
Bonus tip: If you really want to freak them out, hide in your cat carrier.
4. As you begin your twelve-hour drive, remember that your owners would rather listen to your yowling than to the latest music or the local weather and news. Keep it up!
5. Demand a litterbox break as soon as your owner begins driving on a road where it is absolutely impossible to pull over. A narrow bridge with bumper-to-bumper traffic is a good choice.
6. Motel etiquette calls for you to sit in the window, looking absolutely adorable. Encourage passers-by to tap on the glass at all hours, especially if your owner has forgotten to draw the curtains.
If you suspect your owners have snuck you into the room without checking, begin yowling as soon as they try to move you to a more secluded spot.
7. When it’s time to hit the road at 6 AM, you don’t want to be found. If you can position yourself under the queensize bed, out of reach of your owner’s arms, you can delay everyone’s travel plans for a good half hour. The award for the most creative hiding place goes to the feline who wedged herself between mattress cover and springs.
Caution: This only works if your owner really adores you. If you can’t be found in twenty minutes, you might be looking for a new home.
8. Insist on being present when boxes are unpacked. Jump into each box to make sure the contents arrived safely. If your owners lock you into the bathroom “so kitty can’t escape,” use the opportunity to practice your singing. The movers need entertainment, too.
9. Demand to test each windowsill of the new home. If you still have claws, test the curtains to see if they’ll hold your weight. Fifteen pounds? Should be no problem.
Miniblinds offer limitless opportunities for new versions of torture-the-owner. How many can you bend? How about breaking off a little hole for your head to peek through? Cute.
10. Encourage your owner to get a dog. You may never have to move again. “Honey, we can’t move. We could never afford another place where Spot could have a yard.”
Thanks, Dee. Funny stuff..The one about the mini blinds made laugh out loud what is it with cats and blinds?! One of mine uses it to wake me up. She plays as if it was a harp..
You are also right about the Aeryn wearing a beret………
I spent minutes looking at Aeryn Sun. She has a sweet expressive face. Love her :))
Evangeline—
My cats drive me nuts with the blinds! If the horizontal blinds in my bedroom are closed, they will “break” through them to sit on the window sill. I try to leave them open most of the time, but one day last week I had forgotten—I was worried all day that I would come home and the blinds would be ripped apart. But, thankfully, they had left them alone. I still think they are messing with me….
*Hey Dee*
Yep they are messing with you. You know they really are like kids. They want attention and don’t seem to care if it is negative attention! I think that’s why they left your blinds alone when you weren’t there, mom wasn’t there to scold them, lol…….
That is awesome! do you mind if i forward it to my friends?
Be my guest!
SAWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There must be something about cats and blinds! My little Trixie bangs the blinds every morning to wake me up and so she can sit in the windowsill.
Hi Dee, Glad you are back. I missed seeing your stories and comments for awhile. They always make my day. I really like your tips for cats. Made me laugh. Hope things will get better for you. Also, Aeryn Sun is such a beautiful little fuzz!
Thanks, Renee—that’s very kind and very appreciated.
And, Anji, thanks for the sweet words yesterday, as well.
Dee,
The moving tips for cats was hilarious. I loved it.
Jennifer
ahhhhhhh - poor little baby - so glad they all were found. I have calicos - always sweeties.
She’s so pretty! She’ll soon have the queenly attitude that all calicoes seem to have.
I totally agree about the queenly attitute. I have a 9 year old calico named Lucy. She is every inch a queen. She showed up at my door lost and hungry and we’ve been in love ever since.
I heard a saying that calicos are like Hershey bars, half sweet and half nuts! It’s the truth.
What a cutie! And to a Farscape fan, too!
Cute cat!
Sweet girl! Calicos are beautiful.
She was waiting for the right family so she could come out of her shell.
“Hey….what’s THAT?!!!”

Thriple treat today! Loved the picture of Aeryn’s beautiful markings, Daisy’s poem and Dee’s moving tips. Have the enjoyment each year of replaing some of the broken mini blinds slats until I got smart and got rid of the blinds. Thanks for sharing.
I love it!:) Calico kittens have somthing with being an owner of one myself I love them.
I own a calico too!
Hi im Olivia and im 8 years of age and im turning 9 in November
i love kittens there so cute aren’t they?!? Well can you write back
to Minichica1118 bye!!!
Your Friend
Olivia!!
Christie’s late post (yesterday–#57) is very relevant. While bengals are beautiful cats, they may be more than some people can handle. Does anyone remember when the movie Lassie came out about 10 years ago? So many people decided they wanted a collie without researching what taking care of a collie entails, that animal shelters had a steady stream of collies forfeited by their owners.
The same thing happened with 101 Dalmations…! I hear they are very “energetic”…
I love cat’s and kittens, all of your kittens so far have been adorable!!!
OK, this link has nothing to do with animals—it’s just a laugh-out-loud funny article written by Dave Barry, my favorite comedy writer, on the topic of people trying to get ripped abs. I thought I’d share the laugh with my cyber-buddies.

What a sweet baby!
I hate to say this but!!!!!!!!! The kitten is very cute… all messages were great…..except “Satan” must be from a different copuntry than this… “Satan” you have the right to speak but this is not the place nor the time to do so… Please do not “F**K with the kittens…/ If you do not enjoy go to another site… Leave us Fuzz-butta alone… But I am sure you will not… tturtle50@yahoo.com and please leave the ladies alone…

ooo i love calicos! my first baby is a calico but has torte and tabby markings to, very strange. She has the cute little pink nose also, i cant get enough of it! those moving tips are great, i completely get the blinds. what is with that? and why always the little pieces at the ends? also, i was wondering if anyone knows what a main coon looks like? i think my torte might be part cause she has the big poofy and has a muted meow alot of the time. have a great day everyone!
Maine Coons are one of the largest of the cat breeds. (Mine was a healthy 28 pounds and was tall enough to dispense his own ice out of the fridge door) They have longer silky hair rather than poofy hair, generally have tufts of fur coming out of the tops of their ears and more fur in their ears like bobcats do and fur between their toes. Coloring can vary, but tabby striping (in all its colors) is very common. Here is the link to the cat fanciers Maine coon FAQ.
http://www.fanciers.com/breed-faqs/maine-coon-faq.html
The FAQ lists their size as up to 18 pounds, but our big boy grew in height and length until he was well into his 5th year and was a big, solid, muscular cat with enormous feet.
Personality wise they are wonderful cats. They are calm and loving. They have doglike personalities in that they will meet you at the door and follow you around. They just want to hang out. They are not big jumpers or climbers. (That doesn’t mean they wont get on the couch or bed though) They do well as an only cat as they really bond with a person. They are great with male owners as they are more buddy than baby. They are a truly american breed that developed naturally and has been recognized for more than 100 years.
sigh makes me want another one.
thank you for all the info! i’ll check out that website. =)
I am a retired Maine Coon breeder. I used to show in TICA and ACFA and usually had two or three litters a year. I was mentored by another breeder and wouldn’t encourage anyone to go into breeding unless they have a lot of $$ and a lot of time and are dedicated to perserving and improving the breed. I am crazy for Maine Cooners, but get too attached to them!
Ithink cat`s are very cool.Mine hides her self in my bed after i make the bed. I end up with a lumpy bed.she`s a lot of fun.
she is my best friend,bedpartner,just about everything. she knows how to keep a seret shes no blabbermouth.she need`s a dog to keep in line(a puppy maybe?)
she makes me laugh a lot
CHESTER–
Please come back and join us—you’re missed.
I agree with you, Dee. Where are you, Chester? Hope you are feeling better. I appreciated your data that you accumulated on where everyone was located on this site. It was interesting to see where everyone was from.
YES! I also miss you Chester!
With Halloween approaching, I’m re-posting the kitty litter cake link. I’m sure little kids would go crazy over this. Has anyone made this, yet?
http://www.kidskuisine.com/?page_id=8
That cake is hilarious!! The pic on that link looks like the real deal….. I am not sure I could eat it…even if I made it my own self!!
Aeryn is totally darling…. I love the harlequin face!
Her markings are so cute. The black marking around the eye combined with the black marking tilting on her head is very pirate-like. Does she like Johnny Depp?
awww she is so *cute* i miss my baby she has been given to a friend till i get out of my friends house
Big paws, waiting to be grown into!
PREPARE TO MEET CALI! FUZZ
Yes, I made the kitty litter cake for my twin step-dughters–they laughed so hard! Loved it! Little Aeryn is a doll–she chose y ou because she knew you’d be a good parent, and would spoil her–as of course, all cats deserve!
*Here comes the Sun and I say, It’s all right FUZZ*
Yes Chester….come back…didn’t read the post that caused the “hoo-haw” don’t care what it said… come’on back here!
oh my gods! what a beauty! She’s so cute!!! And I love the name. Chiana or Jool would have also made a nice name too. Go Farscape!
She could be the cat kept by the Broadway Phantom of the Opera. Her ear whiskers almost appear pink. Looks like you’ve got a lifelong companion who will out-cute everyone else in the room.
What a cutie!! I love the fact that the ginger spots are stripy. And her little pink nose is sooooo lovable. Keep up the good work.
Aeryn is *gorgeous*! The cutest pinkie nose, and pinkie toes too! You’re lucky to be owned by such a beauty. You have a kind heart to have taken her in, and she’ll be your grateful companion for a long, long time! Enjoy each other!
how cute!!!!!??
Aeryn Sun is one beautiful cat. She looks like she’s focused on something, the next shot would be of her jumping to catch it. i like her name, too.
–Dee, do you see how much your public loves you? I think you need to set up your own blog. Try a yahoo 360 account or myspace. I think they are pretty easy to figure out. I know I would check out your blog daily.
–Brandi Lee, I sent you a quick comment on your 360 page because I couldn’t figure out how to send you a message. (I’m a computer illiterate. lol) Your kitties are just too cute for words.
–Chester, we need you to come back and make us laugh with your jokes.
BTW, Kristen how are you feeling? I don’t remember seeing any comments since she said she was sick.
cathi ……….. thanks, it wont let you leave comments? hmmmm well i will look into it
check the blog I add pics every day
