Kiwi

July 16, 2009

Sara says: Kiwi was brought into my life this past January through a family friend. I looked over all the kittens, and the one and only tabby caught my attention. He was the only one that wanted to play with me while his sisters slept! My family and I agreed that I had found my new sidekick. I decided to name him Kiwi, mostly because I've always wanted my pets to have the more unusual names. He's been nothing short of a rascal since I brought him home of course. His favorite pastime is chasing ankles! Now that he's gotten bigger, he's able to jump onto the windowsill and watch the birds at my feeder. The only thing that seems to scare him is the raccoons that come around at night. Kiwi hides under the table or sits in my lap when he sees one outside the window. Even though he can be a little scamp, Kiwi's just a big ol' cuddle bug! He loves curling up on my bed next to me as I'm falling asleep. I'm really happy to have him as a pet, but even more as my best friend!

How great to have raccoons in your garden. I have squirrels but that's not so exotic. Kiwi is so cute

Kiwi has such wonderful stipes even all the way down his front legs, and what a loveable face. I've always thought male cats are more affectionate than females; wonder if that is true?

Emma,

I've had two cats now. A female who lived until 18 and a new male kitty who is now a year old. Funny that you say male cats are more affectionate because I used to think it wasn't true. Now that I have my new male kitty, he DOES seem to cuddle more and just give me more love.

Not that I regret the female kitty I had either.

This cat looks like a little lover. Who doesn't love a sweet kitten?

He looks a lot like my cat that passed away about a year ago. I miss him!! Kiwi is just an angel.

Armi - 14 years, 9 months ago

Reminds of my kitten way back in the 1990's. The form of the face, the ice, the roundness of the eyes makes Kiwi perfectly beautiful, sweet and cute. One of the most beautiful kittens! She's just very adorable and looks so playful! I wish she's mine!

Kiwi sounds like just what you need when you're sad and need comfort. My cats are perceptive, just like that. They see when you're stressed, cuddle up to you and purr full throttle:):):)
