I haz kitten!

Sadly, though, I have no pictures that do little Pippin justice. I will try harder....He is such a good kitten, amiably putting up with the attentions of six children 12 and under:and the attentions of my sisters (that's my older sister):

with beautiful calm. He would make an excellent Therapy Kitten.

But will he mouse successfully? The incumbent cat, though a pleasant companion, is the worst mouser I have ever known in my life. Little Pip Pip isn't old enough to even walk without baby kitten toddling (he can still be held in one hand), so it's hard to tell how good his pouncing skills are. (Sorry for using a noun as a verb there. I hate it when people "medal" at the Olympics...)

  1. Kittens make everything better :-) I'm a little envious...

    1. Even though the house wasn't nearly as immaculate as I wanted it to be when all my family arrived, at least I had the kitten to offer, which made up for a lot.

  3. Might not be a good mouser. He looks like he is a lover and not a fighter! :)

    I have a 20 pound cat like that. He looks fierce but is a live and let live guy!

    1. Yes--he has yet to show any killer instincts! But he's just a baby still, so maybe the fierceness will come...

  4. Aww. Cute. And I think a kitteh goes a long way toward helping others ignore house imperfections.

    Your eldest resembles his auntie - at least from the side/profile.
