Kittens make me sick.
I'm serious. They sicken me. They're so friggin' ADORABLE and CUTE and FUZZY and PLAYFUL and WIDE-EYED, I can't breathe when I see them (even pictures of them). My chest feels tight and I get this weird semi-nauseous feeling because my body can't handle the rush of love I feel for those precious little creatures. Aaaaargh! Help me!

1. I know, I know
I had to give away my cat's little kittens two weeks ago and I'm still sick and sad. I miss my little gray kitten, lord was she a cutie, and the cream and reds ones too. Don't have kitttens.

6. Nothing's turned out solid so far...
I just went down and fed and watered them. I'm not in good shape to handle the critters, but I'm trying. :(

8. I commend you for taking care of them.
I hope you find homes soon.

Texas DUers? Any room for little kitties?

25. Oh, no you didn't!
I'm toast. That's it. I'm toast. And I should steer clear of you, dear Lorien, because you're armed and dangerous. All you have to do is flash a kitty pic out of your library, and the rest of us will be helpless.

10. Me too...but that's because I'm alergic to them
I too think they are cute, but alas, my throat will close and my eyes turn red.

31. Same here
I am allergic so I cannot stand to be in the same room for more than a half hour.

Dogs I can stand (and I think are the superior of the two pets anyways).

12. They make me sick, too!
Little, tiny paws! Those sweet little paws drive me crazy. My Sophie makes me crazy. Her huge eyes and small nose & mouth, her kitten chin. She is teeth-grindingly cute. And the pictures I can't stop from clicking on at work of other Duer's kittens. All that melting going on! Too much love!



Help me, too! I have what you have!

21. Aw, thank you! And you know what else burns me up?
She is COMPLETELY indifferent to how cute she is. When she's chasing her tail or when I wake up and see she's unravelled all the toilet paper, has buried herself underneath with only her little snoot sticking out. AARGH! I have to call someone and describe it for them. And she has no idea.

23. I know. Their lack of awareness of their own cuteness ...
only makes them more cute. :loveya:

24. It's because if they knew how cute they were
they'd spend most of their time hurling. :D

28. True.
But I think mama kitties kinda know that their kittens are cute. I love to watch them squinting happily and looking at their little fuzzballs while they nurse. You can just see the contentment oozing out of them.

16. I do remember a thread where people were discussing this.
We had a beautiful orange/white Maine Coon (I think -- he was a stray) kitten when I was a kid and he would butt his head under my chin to get to my neck and nurse away. It was painful, but I let him 'cuz I figured he got separated from his cat mom too early.

22. I raised my Sunday Girl on a bottle and she
did the same sort of thing to me as a pacifier. She's 12 years old now, and still does that pacifier thing before she goes to sleep. She's such a baby. I trim her nails. I have to. It does hurt if you can't find a way to trim those nails. Sometimes, I'll put my covers between us so her claws won't dig in.

see that? Ya grabbed the blade of a sword to keep yourself from drowning; to which I say, good on ya, cause we can stumble together and hitch our wagons to a sober driver. How 'bout that, dear bridgit!

And to meet up with you on a kitty thread! Damn! My cup runneth over, and let the good times roll!

Taken 4 years ago almost to the day. They weighed about 2 pounds apiece; now Plato weighs 18 lbs and Socrates 20. :D
