Here's my girl!

As promised, picspam of our new kitty, a five-month old calico:

Photobucket

We adopted her from the local shelter, where she was one of five kittens dropped off after a family pet's "unplanned pregnancy". Her brothers were orange tabbies, friendly and nice in their way, but this one stole my heart the minute I saw her. She started purring before I'd even touched her, and she showed no signs of fear or hostility at all.

Photobucket

The shelter folks named her Snickers, after the chocolate bar. Certainly her fur is all the colors of a Snickers wrapper, and my boys liked the name, so I guess we're keeping it.

She's gorgeous! What a precious face she has -- it's like the best eye makeup ever.

Awww. She's full of personality, from those alert whiskers to the tip of her fluffy tail.

I don't know why, but I just love the idea of a cat named Snickers.

I miss my cats. It's always a treat to get to share someone else's, even if photos don't purr.

Aw, cuddly furriness! And so lovely that she purrs, because not every cat does :-)

Cuddle Snickers for me, and have a lovely day! :-)

Oh, she's beautiful!

Ohhhhh, she's a cutey! She looks kind of like hubby's parents' cat, aptly called Mrs Cat.

And I am now having difficulty typing because my cat is getting me back for having shut her out for the night. argh!

Aw! What beautiful colors. Snickers is a cute name too.

Congratulations!

Oh, wow. That is going to be one gorgeous cat, and eyes sparkling with intelligence besides. To paraphrase Indiana Jones: "You have chosen wisely." :)

She really is beautiful. Welcome to the world of being a cat owner.

Aw, she's beautiful! I always loved the calico colouring. Congrats on your new family member! :)

Awwwww! Pretty kitty! *pets the kitty*

She has a very sweet face.

Alas, I have no animals of my own right now, since I don't have a good place to keep them or time to care for them properly---but someday . . .

Awwww! She's so adorable and sweet-looking. Congratulations on your newest family member and please give her a hug from me. *sends virtual cat treats*

OMG SO GORGEOUS!! I want to reach through the screen and pet her! Yay!

[identity profile] cedarlibrarian.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
oooh, she looks so soft and fluffy! Her coloring is beautiful. Snickers is a very fitting name, too.

Yes, she is lovely! I think calico cats are particularly beautiful (and they are supposed to bring good luck to their owners.) How is she getting on with your little piggies?

She is too cute! I wish we had thought of that name when we got my calico. We named her Calee.
