Got another kitten
It's actually not my cat but my girlfriends. She has wanted a cat for a long time and this thursday we got one from the local cat rescue house in Vasa.
She's 12 weeks old and named Lucky. She is by far the most social cat I have seen and I got two males at home who previously held that record. She wasn't raised at the cat house but at home by some volunteer, she happened to be at the cat house the same day we where there because they had open house day and there's usually lots of people there then. They just brought her in when we saw her and we immediatly knew we wanted her.
Her face makes her look like a clone of our 14 year old cat "Pyret"(it's swedish and doesn't translate at all, just say "pirate" instead) and I guess thats why she felt so immediatly familiar. Personality wise she's completely opposite, Pyret is the most anti social cat I know.
Here's a picture of Pyret for comparison:
We've had her since Thursday and every day she has woken me up in the early mornings because she's walking on my face and thrusting her nose into my nose and then settling down on my chest or in the middle of the bed and going back to sleep. So far it's cute but I don't know if it's such a good move to have a fully grown cat sleeping on your chest
Another thing is that her ears are dirty, there are brown things in her ear, looks like regular ear dirt but she scratches it alot and she also sneezes alot so we're taking her to the vet next week when we get a cage to take her in. She was vaccinated and dewormed by the people at the cat house.
One last image of Lucky. The necklace thing didn't work out, she didn't mind it but it was too big she bites at it now and then, and today she got caught with her jaw in it, that was just awful, she was so scared and panicked and my arm is scratched all the way to hell and back(didn't even notice it until later), I had to just clip the necklace so she'd get out of it. Luckily I always have one of those multitool things in my belt. We got a real cat necklace but she's going to have to grow into that:

I Agree.Cpl Kendall wrote:That ear dirt might be ear mites. My moms cat who came from a barn had them and it looked like regular dirt pretty much except it had to have sepecial meds to put in her ears. And it can spread to other cats.
The BKfH had them as well, when we first got her.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Awww, what an adorable kitty!
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'
Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face.
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.'

Oh she does that but I don't mind, but she has woken me up every night since we got her. She jumps into the bed, walks over your chest and might sleep next to you or alternatively on your chest, or she might just push her nose into your face/mouth while purring. Extremely sociable cat this.
And you should see my hand and forearm after I had to restrain her to get that bloody collar off.

Unless you're going to be letting her outside and using the collar for identification if she gets lost, a collar is nothing but a hazard for getting trapped by or tied-up in. I strongly reccomend not using it, even if it fits snugly.
Cute kitten. But I think she is a clone. Better get a billion droids to ballance her out.

Just coincidence, there are all kinds of colors and variations here.RThurmont wrote:For some reason every Scandinavian cat I've ever seen has been white and black (or brown), not dissimiliar in appearance to a dairy cow. Is this the result of some feline ethnic cleansing that occured a few hundred years back or what?

Sure, tell us that.
