KITTEN!

Look, he's called Rusketus, because I let Mr Brammers get involved and he decided that the Finnish word for tan was where he felt his creative juices going and he wanted to celebrate that little amber tummy, and all I can say is, this is a SUPER SWEET kitten! With a name that we keep saying in outrageous Finnish accents. Sorry, Finland. Though I know for a fact that at least 18 of you get drunk and speak in outrageous British or Australian accents at the drop of a hat. Anyway, pix!

'You what? You want me to look at the camera? But there is a moth. Let's compromise and I will look wistfully at the moth.'

'So, Ive been here for two hours, is it OK if I savage this finger now?'

'Behold my testicles! They keep telling me not to get attached to them, crazy humans!'

We have him in the study, screened off with wire mesh. Cookie has already tried to climb the mesh. Monster took a look through, shrugged, and ambled off, unimpressed. He thought about mewling plaintively, but decided to savage one of his new toy mice instead.

ETA: Guess what this kitten calls 6 feet of thick wire fencing mesh? A climbing wall. Up and over in two seconds once he worked it out. We've had to stuff the gap with pillows and put more pillows on the floor on his side so that his freeclimbing attempts can have a nice soft landing. Plan B tomorrow!

Awwww. Yay Finland! And WELCOME Rusketus kitty! ♥ (Secretly dubbing him Tom of, on account of his, ummm, disposition.)

SO CUTE.

Super sweet is right.

He is totally adorable! Love the combination of stripes and spots - a lot like my Pina.

He's a gorgeous boy and will make a very handsome cat. Congrats to Rusketus for finding himself such accommodating humans! I'm sure he'll get you whipped into shape in no time. Fingers and toes beware. :)

Such a pretty, pretty cat!!! I want to bury my hands in his fur, it looks so soft! *_*

Btw, I read about the Anzac biscuits, googled them and thought they look great. I'd love to make some of my own, but it's hard to get golden syrup over here and treacle is not to my taste. Can it be substituted with honey?

That could be the best tummy in the world.

He is gorgeous! Love tthose enormous ears, he's going to grow up so handsome :)

That is a lovely spotty tummy!

From the moment I saw him I wondered if he has Siamese or Oriental in him. The ear-set and eye-set say no, but the size and shape of the ears, the length and shape of the body, and the whip tail do rather suggest it.

He's so handsome! That nose!

A lovely name for a lovely cat. Cat2 looks rather like that, except more grey than brown, but a similar apricot-coloured tummy and mixture of spots and stripes. They're so amazingly aerodynamic at that age.

Extremely cute kitten!!!!

I especially like the finger-savaging shot.

With the pictures and what you wrote about him in the other post I am sure you have just adopted a baby O'riely.

He loves our dogs. The big one, Pip, is happy to be his friend and let the cat boss him around. The little one, Dougall is not so certain. So of course the cat sits on him.

Mister getting in the way
This is the best one online I could find of his spotty, ginger tummy.
