WARNING: Cute Overload Alert (new kitteh day)!!!

[Scruffie]

It's lucky no one's around to see me making girly noises...

That is one cute little kitty, making me want one.

Thanks for the comments guys.

The other cats have accepted her now which is a relief.

When I say accepted, I mean they aren't spitting and hissing at her any more every time they see her

I dig it! Too cute as the show says.  We've got 3 and no kids.

I'm taking care of 5 strays right now. I built a few shelters for them for winter outside. One is a family of 3 that hung around 2 winters ago as the mother had 2 kittens. We couldn't let them die so you know how it goes. We started feeding them and a few others joined in.

We also have a opossum eating the cat food at night. Apparently you can't get rid of these things based on my research short of killing it so I guess I'm keeping one of those bastards alive too. If he gets into the shelter however I might have to pop a cap in him

That kitten is adorable! I wish mine was still that tiny and cute. He's pretty cool though.

that's a good kitty! Look at it, being fuzzy like a kitty!

The sad thing with Kitties, is that when they lose the fluffy cuteness, they become evil.

Awww 

We've been "temporarily" looking after one of our strays for over 16 years now!

Please. The cuteness is PART of the evil. It's how they make you love them so much that you'll forgive all the evil later.

Ha ha. They also know who's boss that's for sure.

Cat's meow's are specifically for humans. They don't use the same sounds to communicate with each other.

The little b*stards are cunning enough to know what sound to use to get what they want 

Good to see there are so many Kitteh fans on the forum!

There is also a stray farm cat that we look after.

She has been around the farm buildings (now converted where I live) for donkeys years.

We think (calculating from when people first saw her around the farm etc.) she is around 22 years old... which makes her absolutely ancient for a cat!

I wish my wife wasn't allergic to cats...

Damn! 22 for an outdoor cat is almost unheard of. That is one crafty feline.

I've always thought the key to cats is get them when they are kittens. We did ours and frankly they are game for hanging out with you all day every day and happy to purr in your lap or legs. If you wait until they are older by then they have likely been kicked, yelled at, sprayed with water, smacked, or worse, and told in many different ways they are not wanted. Gee, I wonder why they might be skittish and not affectionate    You know, sort of like people who get treated this way.

Cats rule! I guess I'm more of a solitary dude versus a social butterfly so that is why I get it with cats.

...and double hard! Fear any feral cat that's been around that long. It'll have your face off!

I had a cat that lived to be 21 until he disappeared into the woods one day. He was an out door cat too!. One tough cookie though. Half Siamese. Great cat, miss him

Yes this is what I have heard from another farmer (I live in quite a rural area); semi feral/farm cats are hard as nails.

She is definitely at least 20.

She used to be triple hard. Our cats are terrified of her, along with most of the local wildlife 

Sadly she has gone down hill past year or so. Me and my wife now have a bed for her in the house, and we have to groom her (she is too arthritic to be able to do so herself).

She still likes her grub, likes a fuss, still attacks our cats on sight etc. so she has a bit of life left in her yet
