Thursday Theme=Beginning


Beginning is the start of something, it might be something you have never done before or it could be the return to something you have done in the past. In the past I had the most beautiful cat. Her name was Shortie. She was all white with pink paw pads. She had one blue eye and one yellow eye just like her mother, Cue. Now she didn't live a very long life. She suddenly dropped dead at the age of two and a half after running through the house. That was about five years ago, at that point I said I would never get another pet, because it was very heart breaking to lose her. Last year I saw the heartbreak of my daughter when her cat Cue was killed by a car and the heartbreak of my son when his cat Khalis had to be put down after a losing battle with cancer. But, they showed me how to start over again with another pet. My son got a cute little dog, Rachel. And my daughter got a tiny kitten, Princess.

Well Princess had six kittens this summer and I decided to become the owner of two of them, so they could keep each other company. They are eight weeks old males. One is Black and grey striped with white paws and chest. My daughter had named him Paws and he is keeping that name. The other is Brown and chocolate striped. I have named him Bugzy, because he is such a lovebug. He loves to be cuddled up on my shoulder. I couldn't see naming him Lovebug. Imagine calling Lovebug, Lovebug where are you. Likewise Bug, Bug where are you. Therefore Bugzy is the name.

Ugh. I'm a sucker for pet stories. Those look like two kittens I gave up for adoption a few years ago... memories.

Enjoyed your post and those kittens are too cute for words. I have three cats. I lost one last year and it took us all a long while to recover. Enjoy your new babies.

Oofah! I won't let Mom see this; she'll get upset all over again. We lost her dog Hunter a couple years ago :( She's afraid of getting another for she'll always be comparing them.'Course now-a-days most flats won't let in the bigger doggies( least round here ).

And at last count, Princess Cheese had three cats( the fourth ran away ). Love this photo!

Cute indeed.

I had a manx cat when I moved out of the house. A friend was watching it for me and a dog got in her yard and well, that was the end of him. Vowed to never get another one.

Paws & Bugzy look pretty cozy. It's nice they have each other too. The one on the left (Paws?) looks a tad bigger. Is that just the photo? Nothing is as cute as a kitten.

Ruth- the one on the left is Bugzy and he is a little larger than his brother,Paws.

Oh, I love kittens. Miss my Tigger who lived to 19. But I resolved until cats learn to use the toilet, no more for me. Can't deal with the litter box and don't dare let them be outside cats with the coyotes & fishers. Lucky Paws & Bugzy!

They are DARLING!
