Seven South African Siblings: Kitten #7

April 22, 2010

matiescat says: Kitten #7 is the prettiest of the seven. Unlike his mostly dark grey tabby siblings, he is a golden-brown tabby -- when he is in the sun he literally glitters! He has a perfectly symmetrical face with the most beautiful soft expression in his eyes. Physically he is the largest of the litter with a strong frame and broad little shoulders, but that in no way makes him dominant -- quite the contrary, this little boy is the shyest kitten of them all. He always seems to be deep in thought about something or other, and when he looks at you it is as if he is trying to figure out just exactly what's going on in this human's head (and even look into your soul)! He is not as trusting of humans yet as the others but loves being surrounded by and playing with his brothers and sisters. He is not adventurous at all and will quietly watch his siblings attempt any new challenge before carefully following suit. But once he gets going... you won't easily catch this gorgeous little critter as he charges over and under and through everything! This past Sunday he went to a loving forever home with Kitten #5.

He is the sweetest (I have one just like him...only 6 years and probably 15 pounds later). I love the little M on his forehead, and the soft loving eyes. You're doing an amazing job taking care of all these little babies. If they could they would thank you so much!!!!

There's no way I can decide who is the cutest of the litter, but he sure is adorable!

Oh, he is another cutie! I would have happily given ALL seven of these babies a home if I'd lived nearby. My Shelby is a white and tabby cat like this and he is just as adorable. Thank you so much for sharing these babies with us, I have so enjoyed seeing them all!

Dear Matiescat--What a gift you have given us for the last seven days! I don't know if kitties see into our souls but your writing shows that you definitely see into theirs, and your loving photos have been a joy. Do keep on keeping on. Love.

Indeed he is a very handsome boy with dreamy eyes. Thank you so much for all you do for these little furbabies. You bring them love and caring they would otherwise never have. And you do a wonderful job sharing them with the world. I'm so pleased to hear all their happy stories.

You're right, he is beautiful. I'm so glad he went to a forever home with a member of his own family. Kudos to you for being such a kind, caring Foster!

Thank you for sharing pictures of all 7 catties with us. This last one has the most beautiful eyes and he must be a deep thinker just like this photo shows. I am glad that he and #5 share a home. together. Also, thank you Matiescat for doing this foster work as it is sometimes a heartbreaking job, but most of the time it is rewarding for you and the kittens.

Thank you, Matiescat, for a week of some of the sweetest kitties I have ever seen. I will surely miss seeing them. Bless you for taking such good care of them. You have definitely built up a lot of good karma!
