Name, Gender, and Age of your Kitten 

Cotton, female, 1 year old

What are your kitten's most appealing traits? 

She has the most compelling blue eyes you have ever seen! I love her markings, too. She was white when she was born but now she is developing Lynx Point Siamese markings. That was a real surprise.

How I Came to Meet This Kitten 

Her mother was a gift to my daughter, and well, things happen... When we had to find homes for our lovelies, though, there was something so magical about Cotton and her sister Abbey that we just had to keep them. They certainly do keep the house entertained and active! We love all of our furchildren!!

Why I Think my Kitten is the Cutest Kitten 

She has the most compelling character, and charming personality! She is smart, too, and she knows just what to do to be a real angel, even when she's done something naughty. How could anyone look at that adorable face and not just go "Awww!" She's very inquisitive, and full of the spunk that makes a kitten so adorable.

Lessons Learned 

  • The cuter they look, the more likely they've gotten into some mischief ~~~ usually a lot!
  • Two kittens don't usually make any more work than one, but I would never try to live in a house without less than two. They need a companion to keep them entertained and company. Two kittens just means twice the love!
  • Never wear a long robe into the bathroom. It attracts "visitors" like a magnet!
