PeeWee

Meet my cousin Sue’s latest diversion:

black & white kitten

black & white kitten

This little one got left behind in the barn when her mother moved the litter, so is being raised by humans. Or, perhaps the humans are being raised by her.

When that first photograph came up on my computer screen, I put out my hand to rub her tummy. I’ve never even met her, and I’m captivated. I made myself count the creatures for whom I am currently responsible: 2 dogs; 2 cats; 2 budgies; 9 goldfish; many squirrels; countless wild birds. Repeat after me:

No, I cannot have a kitten. No, I cannot have a kitten. No, I cannot . . .

UPDATE: My aunt sent another shot of PeeWee — I know, this could go on forever. I promise to devote some future Friday Cat Blogging posts to this exceedingly cute critter:

    My friend Rob just posted the funniest story about his pet on our blog. I love your blog and thought I would share it with you. Rob dresses his dog “Stogie” up in funny costumes… you can see a picture on the http://www.haneyfarm.com blog.

    PeeWee? With that kind of face, should be named Charlie for Charlie Chaplain.
    What a charming kitten.

    I think you deserve a kitten!
    Of course, I speak as one who recently brought home a kitten to a household of three parrots, two cats and one decrepit old pug doggie.

    The trouble with a kitten is that
    Eventually it becomes a cat.
    Those are really adorable kittens.
