The New Kid

Introducing the newest member of our family:


Linus Foxface Marmalade [Lastname]

Hair: Orange
Eyes: Copper
Size: Wee
Hobbies: Sleeping in the laundry hamper; caterwauling.

Big Sister Eve is not pleased but neither is she wholly uninterested. This morning she only hissed and growled when he looked at her, touched her things, howled too much, or breathed in her airspace. I think they're going to be great pals.

More later.

Ahhhhhn....I love orange cats. And their little pink noses. And pink paw pads.

Posted by: FW Sunshine at October 8, 2007 01:24 PM

You're not going to be able to resist picking that little nose, either. But which name will you pick when calling the little creature?

I love tigers!
I once saw a female orange tiger (rare). It was all I could do not to take her home.

Omigod. Delicious. I can't even deal.

I LOVE ORANGE KITTIES.

Next time we visit, you're probably going to have to forciby restrain me from stealing him. I love our kitties to bits, but I love orange kitties best. Yay for your new addition!

Aww he is so cute :)
Glad you went with the ginger kitten.

Posted by: theotherbear at October 8, 2007 04:34 PM

Awwwwwwww. I want!!! So cute!!
And sounds like Eve is making progress. Mine took about a week to really accept the new little one. She then went all mama kitty for about 6 months.
So awwww! I wanna see pics of them together when Eve realizes that the little one isn't stealing all her food and attention.

I love her size!

"wee"

Wheeeee!

She's adorable. As are YOU!

Posted by: Angella at October 8, 2007 09:22 PM

Oh my god the ginger kitten! He is gorgeous! I am dying of envy over here!

Posted by: Super Sarah at October 9, 2007 01:07 AM

I cannot wait to have an orange kitty of my own! :)

And hey, have you happened to see the "Bubba lip" pictures on my Flickr? Would you and Simon be interested in sending me a picture of you 2 making bubba lips? Just sayin'...
lol

LOVE HIM.

So cute!! I have an orange kitty too, mine is female (rare- typically orange cats are male and tabbies are female). :)

Hope you love him!! And that we get to see lots of pictures!

Posted by: Paige at October 9, 2007 04:21 AM

Oh, I'm so glad to see you picked the ginger kitten.

He's so handsome.

Congrats.

prosh!

Posted by: malia at October 9, 2007 07:14 AM

Adorable! Love the teal reflections in his eyes.

Posted by: Sara at October 9, 2007 08:10 AM

Yay! I'm so glad the marmalade kitty won out. He looks sweet. They are so much fun when they are kittens.

Posted by: Sarah at October 9, 2007 08:14 AM

What a cutie! Can't wait to see pictures of him with Eve.

Regarding the comments above, a co-worker told me this morning that female orange cats are rare (she is thinking of adopting a female orange cat). I didn't know that.

I know I'm a dork, but seeing Linus Foxface I went to "Linux Foxfire" in my mind. Hooray for kittens with dorky names, even if it's unintentional.

Posted by: Elenor at October 9, 2007 10:18 AM

El, I hadn't even thought of that. Linux, yes, but Foxfire, no. An explanation of "Foxface" is forthcoming.

Posted by: Leah at October 9, 2007 10:27 AM

I actually patted my screen.

Posted by: Meg at October 9, 2007 11:02 AM

So sweet. I love the name!

Posted by: Elizabeth at October 9, 2007 11:39 AM

I dare you to carry Linus around in a bjorn. Triple dog dare you.

He's beautiful.

Also, I miss you :-(

Posted by: Heather B. at October 9, 2007 12:36 PM

Posted by: jeorg at October 9, 2007 01:06 PM

Adorable!!

Posted by: Jo at October 9, 2007 01:31 PM

You know my birthday's coming up, and I've always wanted a kitten... Feel free to mail him to me :)

Posted by: Leaf, probably... at October 9, 2007 07:37 PM

ZOMG.

Linus is PERFECT (no pun intended).

Too awesome. Way too awesome.

And give Eve some extra snugglies for me. Big sister shan't be forgotten!

Posted by: Ky Eliza at October 9, 2007 08:06 PM

Orange tabbies are my absolute favorite. They tend to be so funny and gregarious.

Posted by: Sueb0b at October 9, 2007 08:47 PM
