1. MY CAT SKITTLES WANTS TO EAT KIKO

[Zomby Woof]

2. hahaha!

I think he already did! :o

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. It appears to me that Skittles has already eaten Kiko.

[nini]

6. HOLY CRAP

looks like he ate Kiko and my cat Spanky too!

:wow:

[OrwellwasRight]

9. I don't want Skittles to feel bad, but I think

she may need to go on a diet.

BTW, My cat Kato has a dandruff problem, so we all have our troubles.

[XanaDUer]

13. That's a large feline.

...

4. aww, cute

i'm actually currently in the process of adopting...

here's the little guy i want -->

[Zomby Woof]

5. do it!

That's a keeper!

[newsguyatl]

8. i'm seriously considering it

thing is, the girl doesn't want to adopt it out, without his sister -->

just wondering if i'm ready for two of them?

is yours male or female?

[Zomby Woof]

11. He's a male

Named him after the little boy in the Los Lobos song "Kiko and the Lavendar Moon". :D

Ok, I think if you polled DU, they would give you a 100% vote on the kittens!

[newsguyatl]

15. very cool

love that name.

are you going to get that automatic litter box or just regular?

and soft food or dry (or both)?

((the usual new parent questions))

[Zomby Woof]

16. I better clarify

This pic is 3 years old, and Kiko is 7.5! I adopted him when he was 6 weeks old back in July 1997 from a little girl who had a box of kittens in front of a Fred Meyer store in Covington, WA. :-)

I have a covered box, with a hanging door... he stays indoors only.

[pansypoo53219]

22. take BOTH

2 from the same litter rocks!
not that my older cat thinks so. giving her the plots and acne.

[yellowdogintexas]

28. get them both. kittens have a lot of energy and they will keep each other

entertained plus you will laugh yourself silly at their antics for about a year. They sleep a lot anyway.

But they will cuddle together and groom one another and teach each other how to play and hunt and stalk things.

I have three who are littermatas and they are quite bonded to one another.

[newsguyatl]

29. yeh?

so it's not that much harder than having one then??

i just think --> double the food, double the poop.

[yellowdogintexas]

32. cat food is not that expensive, and cleaning out a cat box is not that

difficult. Especially if it is in a convenient place for you to clean it and for the cat(s) to get to it. Keep it in your bathroom if you can, and use a flushable clumping cat litter.

declump the box before you got to bed at night.

but you will have twice as much fun with two littermates. I bet they are already best buds. My guys are about a 1 1/2 yr old now andthey pile up in this big pile on my waterbed and groom one another, nap together. When they were babies, they played together and literally wore each other out.

[musette_sf]

30. adopt them both!

he looks like he needs his sister!!!

[catzies]

31. Absolutely get two littermates together! If they're alone all day

they'll keep each other company, and grow up happy, loving, and well-adjusted kitties. But protect your breakables; no sense in having needless heartbreaks.

And kittens are so much fun to watch, you'll watch them more than TV! :D

[nini]

7. throw that cat some wadded up paper

:D

[Zomby Woof]

12. I'll never sleep!

:D

[XanaDUer]

10. I wondered when this was going to happen!

Pretty kitty.

[Zomby Woof]

14. it's not a good scan

I need a digital pic... this was too grainy.

[MuseRider]

17. Ahhh Zomby

Kiko is a beauty! Give her a scratch for me.

[Zomby Woof]

18. him :-)

But I will just the same! :D

[MuseRider]

19. Oops.

My bad. :hi:

[joeybee12]

20. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww...How'd you get him/her to pose so nicely?

My cats squint when they see the camera!

[Zomby Woof]

21. pure luck

Plus, he's a bigger ham than his old man.

[joeybee12]

23. Pose-able cats are rare--much more common in dogs--at least the

dogs I know--they're like little kids--they love to pose for the camera.

[Zomby Woof]

24. I have an even better pic

But not scanned... better lighting and so forth... I can say one thing, and this isn't just parental pride, but this is one of the smartest cats I have ever known in my life, and I have been around cats all of my 37 years.

Look at his eyes in the pic. He KNOWS. lol

[lady lib]

25. Andy wants to join the party, but waking up

is soooo difficult.

[Zomby Woof]

26. HAHAHA!

Fewer things in life are happier than a sleeping cat. :-)

[lady lib]

27. Then he's REALLY happy

Andy's a Maine coon that showed up at our door one day about 8 or 9 years ago - in Arizona. We weren't going to have pets because of allergies, but Andy had other ideas. :hug:
