a tiny bit occupied: chez pim

Wow. What presence! Lucky you to have a kitty of your own, they're such fun! There are already 4 cats on the property I live on, and none my own, so they've adopted me as their aunty. They come by my cottage to visit me and say hello to me when I come home by meowing a very distinctive greeting. They make me feel so special!

Supper for D. Patterson's dog? How are you going to prepare it? Don't use tongs whilst sauteeing and resist urge to splash with truffle oil, puhleeeease.

I bet you she's going to be long-haired with furry feet and a plush tail. From the big round paws, sturdy little legs and fuzzy ear tips, there seems to be a lot of Maine Coon in her.

Such a spunky little thing.

Such a great kitty! The best kind of being occupied and/or distracted. Hooray!!

Posted by: Val | May 17, 2007 4:24:01 PM

SO cute! Those eyes are phenomenal!

Posted by: Kip | May 17, 2007 4:40:20 PM

Well I say that is a charming picture!

Posted by: Jeremy | May 17, 2007 5:06:34 PM

Such a cute kitten. Is it the photo or do the eyes are of a slightly different color?

Posted by: At Home with kim vallee | May 17, 2007 7:14:10 PM

could this little kitten be any cuter?? I'd be preoccupied too - he/she is adorable!! Is there a name??

Posted by: radish | May 17, 2007 7:18:00 PM

That is the cutest kitty ever! What a doll!

Posted by: Deborah | May 18, 2007 3:52:02 AM

i woke up today thinking that pim's kitten needs a play pal. kittens are great, but its an entirely different kind of joy to watch a couple of them play, tussle and chase each other. also, they'd appreciate the company! does this one have a sibling? or maybe a ginger or a calico kitty needs a home?

.... nice to see your kitty .....

Posted by: nek0 | May 18, 2007 3:01:06 PM

I have three cats that I love with all my heart and now I am in love with your little blue eyed sweetheart.
Absolutely precious

Posted by: Julie | May 18, 2007 3:11:32 PM

Oh, Pim, congrats on the new kitten! S/he is so adorable--and reminds me of our last kitten, Tatterdemalion, who started out as a little black puffball like yours. Now, she is a smallish cat with short legs, round paws, a lionish face with a big ruff and the best plume of a long tail.

You are going to have such fun with this one!

Let us know the name, soon!

Posted by: Barbara | May 18, 2007 6:55:26 PM

Oh! That's a really cute cat! Nice eye colour too! Wish I could cuddle it!

Posted by: WokkingMum | May 18, 2007 9:39:30 PM

What a cutie pie! Beautiful eyes.

Posted by: Jen | May 18, 2007 10:20:12 PM

What a sweetheart! Congrats!

Posted by: catherine | May 20, 2007 8:16:31 AM

Thank you everyone. She is really one little cutey. I miss her so much and I've only been gone a day!

Her name is Ella. We didn't go looking for her, she came and found us! Her mom is feral, and she had a litter next to our house. My neighbours and I rescued the litter. There are three of them, and we kept Ella. We'd been talking about rescuing a new cat from the pound since our Camilla died last year, but have been too occupied to have done that. Until Ella found us.

The timing is a little incovenient, since we've got this trip to Spain planned for a while. David is speaking at the conference and I'm writing about it for something.

I'm trying not to worry or miss her so much. She's got aunt Beccy and Davoe taking care of her, and her two siblings Buddy and Misses to play with while I'm gone.

cheers,
Pim

super cute kitty. I can assure you when you are busy in the kitchen this will be one interested spectator. Keep an eye on those pastry brushes!

Posted by: veron | May 22, 2007 1:39:31 PM

Glad to see you got a new kitty! Getting a new cute little beast was the best thing I did after I lost my 2 old guys...
she's sitting right next to me at the moment! I look forward to hearing about Ella's exploits! (as well as your's of course!) :)

Posted by: Robin | May 22, 2007 11:04:10 PM

oh how cute.... i adooooore cats! hope to see more of this one! :)

Posted by: Maninas | May 27, 2007 2:34:16 PM

SO glad you were adopted by another cat! Your story about Camilla broke my heart; this was just what you needed. She's precious, and I am jealous!!!

Posted by: charlotte devree | May 27, 2007 3:53:47 PM

so great to meet Ella, especially after hearing the news about Camilla last year. She is adorable!

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this. A grown ass man like me isn't supposed to be "awwww"ing over kitten photos.
