I ordered a kitten NOT a flying squirril

[sunstruck]

It never occured to me that a 7 week old kitten would be able to leap over a 3 and a half foot wall of plywood. Nope not even for a second. But it took her about 3 minutes to figure it out. Hopefully she won't be so smart after a few more days of running head first into walls.

Believe me, I know the draw of the human furnace in the bed next to me, but I can't sleep for fear of rolling over and crushing her.

Oh well, it's not like I need sleep. Oh wait......yes, yes I do.

Crap.

kittens are a smart lil fur ball bunch of energy

Wait until they start vaulting to the top of your kitchen cabinets. That's always a heart in throat expirience. Ain't they Cuuuuuuuute?

Actually, best thing is to actually close a door, firmly. If you have a Siamese, this might not work. Just consider yourself lucky if the bundle of fur doesn't learn how to open french doors at 6 months. You learn that the locks are for more than just security, fast.

Don't worry about rolling on your kitty, just when you do fall asleep, she will attack your hair and wake you up. She will stick that rough tongue in your ear the next time. After that it will probably be all teeth.

Wonderful! I'm so looking forward to the next few weeks. She has completely bonded to my husband and he, being a great big softy, refuses to close her in another room at night.

That's fine. I'm sleeping in the guest room. If only the little blighter weren't so damn cute!

Get her used to sleeping at his feet, generally that works.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Not just the next few weeks! My guess is long term, more like years. But I love cats anyway.

 

[Laurel]

Ooh! Where are the pictures?

 

[sunstruck]

I have several other pets, including a 2 year old tom, but this is my first kitten. Puppies are easier, let them sleep with the big dogs their happy.

But I can't leave her alone with the cat until he realises she is not a new battery operated stalking toy.

 

[sunstruck]

Ooh! Where are the pictures?

Tomorrow I hope. She is truely adorable. Her name is Fred. Don't ask.

Did someone mention furball??? here I am!

OH that is a good one! In a couple weeks.... ROFLMAO!

the bad part is that they do have 9 lives whick cause us to lose 9 years off or ours stressing about stepping on em, rolling over and squashing em, squishing em in a closing door, chopping a tail off in a fan - STOP ME NOW!

My lil guy has never been smashed by me. And I toss and turn all night long. Then again with him hitting the blinds against the windows, running across the bed and stepping on my face with wet paws(I dont want to know how they get wet) I dont sleep much.

I tried closing him out of the bedroom but the lil bugger scratches at the door. Gets up on his hind legs and digs at the door... Quite anoying indeed!

Then just as I am about to shove him in the dishwasher to give him a bath he falls asleep in my arms purring away.... Melts my lil heart each and every time!

Maybe he can just see that SUCKER tatoo across my forehead???

Tomorrow I hope. She is truely adorable. Her name is Fred. Don't ask.

Her name? Fred??

OH yea - not asking!

 

[sunstruck]

I'll bet he washes his feet in his water dish. My older one does that. I thought it was weird as hell, but apparently it's pretty common.

 

[llee69]

I said I dont want to know!

Now you have to tell me about Fred!


hehehe

 

[LadyDarkFire]

Better than my tuxedo cat. He thinks of any glass that he can't get his nose in as a challenge. He's come up with sticking his paw in, letting the fur take up the liquid then sucking it out. Eventually, it gets too built up and he has to flick his paw to dry it, generally, he flicks it onto whoever is closest. They're sooo cuuuuuuute.

Eh, I still love him, and I know how to dodge.

There is a singing comedian Stephen Lynch, who sings a song called specail fred (origianlly special ed) that is about his challenged friend. She runs into wall a lot, so she's Fred.

That is a rockin name!

 

[Silverlily]

Her name is Fred.

Ironic, but perfect for reasons I can't begin to explain.

 

[sunstruck]

Thanks! It cracks me up. My little girls Fred. BONK! Isn't she special?

LOL!

I named a dog Roscoe one time. he forever acted like Roscoe P Coltrain from teh Dukes of Hazard...

Maybe our naming animals helps them become who they turn out to be?????

 

[sunstruck]

took me forever to find this

When I was a boy of 10
I had a very best friend
Fred was kind, with good intent,
But just a little different...

Oh, Special Fred, Mamma droppFred him on his head
Now he's not so bright, instead, he's a little bit special. Just a little bit special... just a little bit special

We'd play tag, and he'd get hurt
I'd play soldier, he'd eat dirt
I likFred math, & the spelling bee
Fred likFred talking to a tree...

Oh, Special Fred, Mamma droppFred him on his head
Now he's not so bright, instead, he's a little bit special. Just a little bit special... just a little bit special

I ran track and hung out in malls
Fred ran headfirst into walls
I had girls, and lots of clothes
Fred had names for all his toes.....

Oh, Special Fred, Mamma droppFred him on his head
Now he's not so bright, instead, he's a little bit special. Just a little bit special... just a little bit

One day talking to Special Fred
He grabbFred a brick and swung it at my head
And as he laughFred at me, thats when I knew
That Special Fred just made me Special too

Now I laugh as I count bugs
I give strangers great big hugs
Next to me, Fred is fine
yeah he's f---ing Einstein.

Oh, Special Fred (and me), Mamma droppFred him on his head
Now we're not right in the head, We're a little bit special. Just a little bit....
Just a little bit special
We're just a little bit special
That bastard Fred made me Special
Just a little bit special
