Tag: KITTENS!

Enh!

Posted by Alison – July 20, 2010

Antique kittens! Trying so hard to resist buying this adorable postcard. Ack ack ack ack!

The inside of my head goes a little something like this:

….But they’re so adorable.

….But $20 is way too much to pay for a postcard.

….But look at them!

….And it’s a tinted postcard! That’s special, right? Huh? Special? It’s special!

….But what about money for vacation?

….But one has really cool eyes! And look at how they’re “ripping through” the background, like football players at a game!

….Cute football players, not the ones you went to high school with. That’s even better.

….You’re being a spaz. Just buy it.

….You are such a cat lady (not that there’s anything wrong with that…).

I’ll keep you updated on the saga. Much wringing of hands will ensue, I’m sure.

Hunter Kittens

I’m a convert. Kittens are just the cutest things on earf. Dogs are still awesome, but picking up the miniature sacks of potatoes that are my kittens and holding their tiny purring bodies against my cheek in the middle of night? Purrfection. (Sorry, had to go there.)

These little babes, adorably named Ella Averill Robinson and Calla Lily Cole, are strays living outside of Amy of Emerson Merrick’s parents’ house. These little calico hunters — look at them meeting to whisper in the bushes, then preparing their next move! — look like kissin’ cousins of my Bug. So tiny. I need my kittens to stay small forever…then get really chubby. That would be the best.

Dagmar is clearly having a religious experience. Touched by an angel!

New Home

Posted by Alison – June 13, 2010


Well! It’s been a busy few weeks. We’ve been painting, decorating and trying to make our new apartment feel homey (as well as obsessing over our new kittens, Bug and Dagmar). The cowhide rug has been laid, the walls are no longer pukey — who likes mauve and mustard?! — and we’re enjoying the fruits of our labors. We’ve got a lot of boxes to go through still, as well as a hell of a lot of books to organize, but it’s coming along nicely. When a kitten makes biscuits in your hair and falls asleep on your chest, life is pretty good. No complaints, my friends.

Kitty Livin’

Now that we have met our future kittens the fun starts: buying them toys! (And, you know, snuggling them.) The first thing I bought was a bed. Next up? A set of “De’cat’pitated Mouse Heads,” seen above. I love the modernist bent of the other cat accessories…both the eco-friendly scratching pad and the Dot Den wooden bed look like they could fit into our future home seamlessly.

What other things do I need for my kitties? I’d love to get as much as possible from Etsy! Litter box, treats, bowls, collars…

Our Future Children

[Still to be named kitten: Ida / Margot / Edith a.k.a. Little Edie / Ludmilla / Minna / Dagmar / Frances?]


After much ogling of photos and compiling long lists of names (still confused on kitten #2 — of those options, which most fits her?) JB and I finally went to meet our new kittens yesterday. It was love at first sight — they are just so freaking cute we could not stand it. We get them the first week of June!

Bug loves to style my hair, as this video by JB attests. She later fell asleep on my shoulder, enveloped in my tresses. So wonderful. See all of our kitten videos here.

Sister kitten giving her most soulful, considering glances while brother kitten (little bear!) plays on the floor:

Sigh. Kittens, I love you! Also, please weigh in with your name vote  for kitten #2 in the comments!

A. Ida
