1. Ooooh, you've really got to stop this, Bertha. I can't take much more. |
|
Head so round. Check. Nose and mouth so pink. Check. Little eyes not quite open. Check. Ears still folded down. Check.
*SWOON*

but -- is this skitten's head noticeably larger than the others? If so, probably a boy. And answers a question I've had for a while... our gigantic male tuxedo (who chased a Boxer out of our yard the other day - reminded me of the photo you have with - is it Daddy? - chasing the dog! lol) has an ENORMOUS head. It just boggles the mind. My husband, who is 6'4" (and has proportionate hands for such a tall guy) can't get his hand around Ivan's head (though we can both easily 'palm' our other cats' heads). And I've always wondered about his poor birth momma - was Ivan's head just huge when he was a kitten, too? (he came to us as a stray about 2 years ago).
Too freaking cute, bertha. Darling babies.

9. No, his/her head is the same size as the others'. |
|
I just noticed that the full-size image is far larger than life-size. I cropped the image and then reduced the size of the file by about 30%.
I wish I knew why some cats have large heads. All of them are way stuck up; why do only some of them get the big head?

11. Actually we changed our minds: We're retiring to home. Orange County, |

and hopefully Huntington Beach.
But as for cat farms, check out www.bestfriends.org - Utah animal sanctuary. :7
PS It was Kathy who changed our minds, after spending a week in HB in February. That's all it took.

13. Bertha, we gotta get together! |
|
When you do, please let me know.
OC welcomes you with open arms. We have KitchenWitch down here, too.
I've always wondered why you had HB's city emblem on your page- duh- you lived there!!

14. I had no idea you were in So. California, Kajsa |

:dunce:
If I knew before, I'd obviously forgotten. I know KW is there -- we met at my BIL's party in December. Love huh!
:bounce:
I'll pm the So. Californians I know next time we go home. Don't know when that will be; Kathy's health and that of her mom & dad hold a lot of questions right now.
:hug:

12. That little pink nose... AWWWW! |

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
Hmmm... If I leave for the airport right now, I'll arrive at BWI at 11:39, and I think my pet carrier will fit under the seat, and I have some extra cat litter and a spare box, and lots of food; and I could be back home by early evening, so....
AAUUGHH! Need kittens! Must have kittens!!!
