Sherry says: We adopted a stray kitty -- or rather she adopted us -- who just happened to be pregnant. We named her Abby and have become quite attached to her. Abby had five kittens, three orange-and-white females, one orange-and-white male, and one champagne male. We found wonderful homes for four of the little cuties and had to keep the champagne-colored male for ourselves because he's just too adorable. We named him Cotton because his fur is so long and silky soft. Also as a very young kitten he was almost as white as cotton. Cotton has a lot of personality and is really a fun kitty to have in the house. He loves to play and he can make a cat toy out of anything. He also loves to go 'dumpster diving' which means he will knock over any trash can around to see if there's anything in there he can play with. Toilet paper rolls, wadded up strips of paper, box lids, or tear-off strips from any type of packaging will provide Mr. Cotton with hours of playtime. He also likes the various mouse toys we purchased for him before we discovered that we didn't need to actually buy him toys. Most of all he LOVES catnip and will try to steal any we give to the three other cats in the house. Cotton is a very loving kitty who spends a lot of time with his mother, Abby, but will also cuddle with the humans in his life. He is so funny to watch when he is in 'play mode' and he just keeps us laughing. We have all enjoyed having him in the house because he is such a joy.

Wow, what a handsome fellow!! That face ... those eyes! I'm in love - you're lucky you found him first and not me! I took in two strays who were pregnant - 11 kitties born! Found homes for 9, and I kept one and my sister kept one. The strays are now mine and are fixed. We also adopted dad and he's fixed too.

Your little cotton is a lucky boy!
I wish you all the best! :)

Thud!!! Picking self up from floor. Cuteness Overload Alert for those seeing Cotton! He is very expressive and very intelligent. I can surely see why you kept this little kitten doll. Give all your kitties a pet for me and a special belly rub for Cotton. Many happy years with all your felines!

P.S. ALL of his photos are super cute!

Cotton becoming what he became! What a little heartbreaker. You were repaid many times over for taking in the Mum. And @Nancy above, you're another special cat savior. Thank you all.

Cotton is a real gem! I understand why you kept him. A few years ago we fed a feral cat who we named Annie. Little did we know she was hiding kittens under our shed. When they were old enough she brought them to our patio to eat with her. We did TNR on the kittens, one of which was a buff colored boy that I named "G." He started to get friendly and would follow me around the yard when I watered my garden that summer. I had plans to try to get him inside. Then on July 6, 2010 he simply disappeared, never saw him again. It broke my heart, I cried over him for days. He is my avatar here at GMK. We never did catch Annie and she and her other kittens disappeared eventually as well. I guess that means TNR works as it should, but it sure hurt to lose little G.

"Aaahhhh! I love the feeling of the gentle breeze against my whiskers, the warm sun shining on my fur!" I'm obsessed with Cotton, he is so handsome and you can definitely see his character in these photos!

Cotton is a beautiful boy. I love all the pictures especially the picture of mom and all her kits. I hope they are all indoor kitties by now.

Thanks for all the love for my boy Cotton and his sisters/brother. Cotton is a big boy now and has darkened in color. He is still buff, but you can see the faded out ginger in him. He still has an expressive face and he still loves his momma. Since Cotton, we have rescued another kitty who appeared on our doorstep--this one a gorgeous blue-eyed Siamese that we named Sugar. Cotton & Sugar are buddies. Both are very spoiled kitties!
