Rachel says: Buttercup is just a sweet all-around good-natured kitten. She is energetic and fun but also independent and makes her own fun. She is very loving and loves to be around her people but tends to sleep just near you rather than on you. She often can’t resist lying on a person’s back who is lying on the floor though.

Buttercup loves to play with a good mousy or a cat-ribbon wand, or really any random box or crinkly piece of paper. Her owners should be careful of string around her as she seems to have a ability to find it and it can be very dangerous for her. She has a great purr that she saves for her happiest moments and gifts to her people. She has had some limited exposure to small children and has done well though she is timid and would rather keep some distance. She is interested in children though and will likely warm up over time with good treatment and earned trust.

Buttercup is sweet and kind and just wants to share her love with someone who loves her back. She would love to be adopted with her sister Tigra and/or her brother Bunny or another companion. However she is generally happy on her own and would be fine as an only kitten after some adjustment. She has had exposure to older cats and loves them. We watched her create a great bond with our nine-year-old cat over time. She really wants a loving family who will play with her and love her. Please contact the Humane Society of Silicon Valley if you would like to give her a permanent home.

Well, "Hi!" Buttercup! I can't figure out how you got that name, but you're one "cool-looking" kitten. I'll be hoping to see the news that someone has taken you home...

LOL amycats! Buttercup got her name for 2 reasons: 1. because she was a black kitten over Halloween and I wanted to name her the exact opposite of what someone would normally name a kitten in this situation. and 2. because there is a gate into one of the rooms where we play with the kittens; as soon as she sees us coming she runs to the gate and always gets there first. I already have a habit of saying "back it up buttercup" to any of the kittens in the way, but I found that she was ALWAYS the first one there, more than any other set of kittens she was always right there behind the door or gate ready to see me. So since Buttercup fit the first criteria and I was already calling her that tons, it just became her name. :)

Buttercup is a big-eyed wonder kitty! I love black cats; particularly if they have unexpected names! Reminds me of a special friend named Rusty!

Buttercup is darling, but there seems to be something sad about her expression.
