    Sometimes the simplest things are the best.



    Cats are passed the fuck out on our bed. Like dead-weight out.



    I cozy up to George, and those spots on his sleepy belly. Nectar! He smells of fruit and springtime and animal.



    We adopted him from Petco in September 2010 when he wasn't quite three months old. He and his sisters were found in a tirewell and fostered. (I love you, Kitten Rescue of LA!)



    I never had a male cat before but once I saw him and we properly met, that was it, on both sides. We went through the paperwork, were deemed fit "parents", got the necessary supplies and went home to wait.



    Few hours later, they show up. George is snuggled up inside his foster mom's hoodie.



    This was...a year and a half ago. At that time, he was like a new potato. A fingerling. Tiny, sweet, fresh.



    Now, I look at him, and I see a fucking yukon gold potato - doublestuffed and loaded with butter, cheese, bacon and sour cream :mrgreen:



    His meows are not those of one with his heft.



    Still, utterly sweet, gentle, loving. Gives the softest head-butts like nobody's business.



    I think he'll always be kitten-like.



    So yeah. Goodness in our pockets :)

    The kitten we got for my daughter has become the Queen of our household. A beautiful black and brown tabby, she is the sweetest thing I could ever hope for when we got her for a pet.

    And, she's freaking nuts when she has her playful periods: I swear she gets into Navy seal character and we are her sworn enemies for an hour every evening. Stalking, hiding, high speed dashes (the sound of it is hilarious), springing sporadic leaps, butt wiggles, foot grabs and high speed dual back leg piston kicks (no claws) are all part of the nightly game for her

    Then... settles back down content to be carried anywhere anyone wants to carry her, snuggling with anyone who wants to snuggle with her, and all else that is great.

    She loves us. You can tell by the way she admiringly looks at us. She's never not around us other than to absolutely obliterate her litter box (fak man... ease up... just try to be a little tidy without casting litter everywhere).

    Ah, Thirty...those hopped-up times are hilarious. Here, always followed by the I-may-have-overextended-myself flop...like damn, I am WIPED OUT.

    Love the butt wiggles!

    Feel free to post a pic of her :)
