Kitty Alert!

CUTENESS WARNING
The picture you are about to see will possibly cause to make cooing sounds such as 'awwww'...'so tiny!'.....'ohhhh....soooo cute' and that sort of thing. We are not responsible for any reactions you may get while sitting at your computer and making these noises. It is only our duty to share the photograph with you.

SUBJECT: stray kitten wandered into our yard 2 days ago and started living under our newly built back deck. We noticed her presence because of a strange mewing sound on Friday afternoon and promptly got her some kitten food which was followed by a run to Petco for better kitten food and flea stuff. On Saturday, we had guests ......one for a classical piano lesson for yours truly and the other guest arriving much later for a songwriting hang. Need I say? All guests were completely entertained with 'kitty'....watching her, trying to get her to come closer, meowing back to her, making toys and throwing string at her to get her to play.

It is truly amazing how 5 adults can be transfixed for hours by watching a little kitten.

So far, we've coaxed her to hang out ON the deck with us instead of under the deck. She even came and rubbed her head against my toes this morning. So we're making progress in the interaction area. However, I am terribly allergic to cats, so we are trying to see if we can adapt her to being an outdoor cat.....Bam cleaned up a big crate/seat and put a lovely blanket in there...meanwhile, I guess I will dig up that felted cat bed pattern of Wendy's and start knitting. ....Funny, always considered ourselves 'dog people'...I guess the universe had other plans.

TWINKLE
The fantastic designer has now launched her own line of yarns. If anyone has seen/touched any of them......let me know if they're as wonderful as her designs!

Oh, that kitty is too cute! I hope the outdoor thing works out for you! I've got a tremendous soft spot for felines.

What a cute kitty!!

My wife and I have a similar story with a bird. Her name is Mina (From Winhelmina's character i Bram Stoker's Dracula).

What's her name? Have you chosen any?

Hope you can manage the alergia thing.

Enjoy her and let her enjoy you

Hey all,

Oh GOOD GAWD! Look at the ears! And the cuteness! Ziggy is such a great name - she looks like a Ziggy. Good luck with the allergies. If you feed her every day [then get her spayed] she will live at your deck with no reason to go anywhere else. [ask me how I know!]. :) So cute!
