Name, Gender, and Age of your Kitten
Linny, Female, 8 weeks
What are your kitten's most appealing traits?
Linny is playful, and loving. She has natural kitty curiosity, but can be a little shy. We've only had her a week though! She also has the sweetest little kitten cry/meow which she uses when she wants something...whether it's food, or a play mate!
How I Came to Meet This Kitten
I never thought of myself as a cat person, and neither did my husband. We love our puppies. However, I was browsing the adoptable pets on my local Craigslist, when I came across a picture of my sweet little kitty. I asked my husband, and he said no. I was planning to try to guilt him into it, but instead, decided to pray about it, and let whatever would happen, happen...the next day he said I could get her! That's when I knew it was meant to be! She is a fluffy bundle of joy, and my kids are just in love with her!
Why I Think my Kitten is the Cutest Kitten
Linny is named affectionately by my children for Linny the Guinea Pig from the Wonder Pets. She is the cutest because she will give the sweetest little cry, just because she wants me to come and pet her. She loves to play with the kids, and really anyone who will take the time. When she is not playing she is content to snuggle up and sleep on the corner of my sewing table, or cautiously explore out of her safe room to other areas of our home. She is my favorite color, and she has a cute, dark orange spot on the back of each paw. She likes to hide on the bottom of my youngest son's exersaucer and watch the kids playing in the middle of the floor. She is also very caring for her people, she heard my 7 month old son crying from where he was laying on the floor (he had been playing and decided he was done! lol) and she came to investigate with nothing less than a look of genuine concern on her face, she looked at me, and gave one little meow as if to say "Is everything ok?" On top of all that she is just a fluffy little bundle who reminds me of a miniature wild cat with her ear and face whiskers and fluffy fur!
