Last night of kitten

[blamebrampton]

Tomorrow, Jones will be going to a new home. Unless I take one look at the fella who is coming for him and decide he looks like a bad lot.

For our last evening together I had planned some toy time, some cuddles and some patting.

Instead, we have had I Will Eat Your Linens, Your Arm Is For The Savaging and, his and Cookie's favourite game: I Groom You: I Kill You.

Guess which one is doing which?


And now, time for bed. Or, more likely, time for Stay Back, Madam, I Believe Your Feet To Be A Security Risk And Will Defend You From Them!

Here, have a pic of him being good. He can be. Sometimes for whole minutes at a time!

I haven't commented on him to date but have been watching his beauty and shall be very sad to see him go. As, I imagine, will you. (It would be wicked for me to hope you don't like the fella turning up to take him away, so I won't.)

Just like a normal kitten, then.

For what it is worth, a friend of mine told me once that he would never sell a kitten (he bred Singapuras and Maus) to anyone who wasn't on the floor playing with the kittens within ten minutes of entering the house (he was certainly on the floor with the kittens within five minutes of entering our house, though he wasn't there to purchase -- his tom sired the kitties.) It's a policy we attempted to follow ourselves.

This post makes me smile. Kittens are such endearing beasties.

I'm sure he'll be very happy in his new home. Maybe not as happy as he was in yours, but...

*dies laughing* Oh god, the capital letter cat thoughts. Such perfection. I want him! I wish I wasn't a few continents away!

OMGosh! My cats play "I Groom You: I Kill You" all the time, and I never realized it was, like, an actual cat game!

I just thought they were being weird.

Also, I may send my kitten, Pickles, to you. When I got up this morning and was trudging through my semi-dark house, I paused to wonder, 'What is all this white stuff on my floor?'

Pickles savaged a box of Kleenex.

Oh my! My cat and my daughter's kitten did the I Groom You I Kill You bit all the time when my daughter was visiting during Christmas break. I keep hoping the kitten will have grown out of it by the next time she visits.

My daughter claims her kitten is really an evil snake. Of course, every time I skype my daughter, she's cuddling with the kitten or the kitten is napping, so she can't be that evil.

I hope that all goes well for Jones! This morning, Cat2 sat on a house-guest's lap and consented to be stroked for about a minute. This is the first time he has ever done this with a stranger. It feels like some sort of milestone.

Oh he's so sweet and I love your descriptions of his games :D
LOL! I'll be sad to not see any more of his fun! But I wish him a happy new home!

Bon voyage, Jones! And Cookie, your patience in the face of infinitely adorable provocation shall soon be rewarded!
