    AWWWWWWWWWW. What sweeeeetness. Da wee itty bitty sweetie bitty kitty!!

  52. Hammy says:

    Blue kittens? I want one!

  53. Carolyn J. says:

    The only way to properly photograph a black cat is on a light background in strong sunlight, without a flash. Now YOU try to get your black cat to sit still under those conditions! Good Luck!

  54. snm says:

    it looks dead

  55. Theo says:

    Carolyn J — are you kidding? You’re describing the classic Solar Cat Coma. A black cat will TRACK a sunbeam across a wood floor all day. In fact, if you could somehow harness your Solar Kitty to a wagon full of potted clematis, they’d flourish.
