Precious Belle Adora

black & white kitten

A little too much sugar for you?

Our landscape here is all powdered sugar. I couldn't help myself.

There is a story behind all this sweetness, though. Years ago I had another black & white kitten, every inch as sweet and entertaining and snuggly as this one. My friend Diane wanted to name her Precious. I resisted.

The senior cat at that time was an elegant, aloof tuxedo cat named Isadora.

I compromised by naming the kitten Precious Daphne Adora, to be called Daphne.

Thus, Precious Belle Adora, to be called Belle.

Boo is settling down. I actually caught her kissing Belle.

Not enough sugar for you? Try Flickr Hive Mind: kitten.

[Hmm. Maybe that should be Precious Adora Belle? You know, to sound more like … Nevermind.]
