Originally my GF & I called this kitten Spot (originally all there were identified by some physical characteristic - The Spotted One, Kinkytail, and Pretty Girl). He was adopted by an 11 year old boy who is a huge Star Wars fan and is now named Anakin. It was a perfect match - the rowdiest, most assertive kitten was perfect for an animal loving young boy. A bonus is that Anakin and the household Guinea Pig get along great!

And finally, Kink. My GF ended up keeping Kink, and all attempts to rename him have failed. lol

Angelina has a little curl in the bone at the very tip of her tail..

Kink's kink is about an inch to an inch and a half from the tip of his tail. My GF thought she had shut his tail in the door of the coffee table (where Natalie chose to have her litter) when he was very little and felt so bad! Then a few weeks ago I realized that Emma had a very small kink - not visible, but I could feel it. GF checked the others and found that Natalie also has a non-visible kink. So it's a genetic thing (and my GF felt greatly relieved that she hadn't hurt one of the kittens).

Emma is a champion purrer - I've never heard such a loud purr from a kitten! She was also the first of the litter to purr when one of us held her. And she loves to purr - even a single swipe of the hand down her back gets her started. I love it when I go to bed and she comes and curls up by the pillow so I can pet her - she purrs me to sleep. Neither cat sleeps with me, however - I think they don't like my snoring...

They're so cute!

Seems like I remember some old folk tale about a breed of cat (Siamese comes to mind, but I can't be sure), that has a kink in its tail. Story goes something like, it has a kink in its tail to better hold/carry the Queen's ring, or something like that.

Anyone ever heard a story like that? Its only a very vague memory I have of recalling a tale like that. Or, I'm just nuts.

All of our wonderful kitties who are at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for us are now welcoming, I would guess, thousands of new new playmates from the Gulf coast.

I swear, there are websites for EVERYTHING now....

CATS IN SINKS

...and from there, I found:

KITTEN WAR!! (May the cutest kitten make the cut.)

The second one is addictive.

I have also been thinking about the furry ones who lost their lives in the storm. I can't even imagine losing everything you own plus your pets. Its so heartbreaking.

I was thinking about the kitties in that probably not many of those very poor people would have pet carriers. You can take a dog with you and it will pretty well obey you, but a cat is a cat and won't follow directions.

Here is an excellent list of organizations that are helping Hurricane Katrina survivors:

Personally, I chose to donate to the Humane Society of the U.S. to help with companion animals who were left behind when their owners evacuated.

ARGGGHHHH!!!! Emma has picked this week to go through the kitten's version of the Terrible Two's! I got up this morning at 3:00 a.m. to go to the bathroom, only to find a huge pile of shredded toilet paper on the floor!

Plus, Emma has been pestering poor old Phoebe constantly, to the point where I had to shut Emma out of the bedroom just so Phoebe (and I) could get some rest! Emma also thinks that climbing the curtains is a good idea, as is walking back and forth over the keyboard when I'm trying to work on the computer. She KNOWS she isn't supposed to be on hard furniture, but it seems like all the training I had done the previous four weeks has flown out of her goofy kitten brain this week. She is getting squirted so much that she is constantly damp, and ignores it unless it's right in her face (and then she acts like I sprayed her with acid).

This must be why kittens are made to be so cute, so that they can survive kittenhood without being throttled...

A good idea is to get 2 kittens instead of one. That way they can play with each other and not irritate others so much.

(And Redstar, I think the same can be said of babies--being cute and all, cuz they sure are a lot of work!)

Julie, I think I'll barely survive ONE kitten! lol

Normally I would adopt an older cat, but I've known Emma since she was born, and I couldn't bear to see her taken to a shelter, even the local no-kill shelter.

LOL.. Angelina is 4-6 years old and while she's not climbing curtains (which I DO appreciate) but we still have catwars and Angelina sleeps in another room.

Cute kitties - each of and everyone of 'em! I'll post pics of mine later, when I'm awake and conscious. Too many tvch late-nights.
Julieboo... I totally agree... I prefer to have two at a time. I had two littermates before, and now I have a mother and daughter. Keeps 'em from getting too lonely.
