yeah, the most adorable kitten ever.. and how she is responding with her paws and eyes… :):) so lovely..
but one thing – why she (the woman) tries to stuff her fat finger into her tiny mouth??.. yak, that almost made me sick…. :XX

Yay for late comments!

I love the tickety purr, the spotty belleh, and the wee tailio.

I defy anybody to hold this tiny a kittain in one hand and not be compelled to make the ickiest baby talk imaginable to it. I mean, could you ever say something like “Hello, Miss Emily Rose, and how are you today? Are the accommodations satisfactory? And the food? How about the service?” No, it would be impossible.

Kittains: A stomach, with incredibly loud meow, wrapped in fur and including a purr.

shes so cute! i had a kity kat once but she was mean to us, but cute!

I *must* nom that kitten! NOW!

PandaDiana,

when I was 8 a precious litter of kittens was born under my bed. I think those cats were handled from day 2 if not day 1. Very gently, mind. Also it helped if Mama was taking a meal break. They grew into big, loving, wonderful cats (understandably leary of underaged human. So was my Mama, who supervised my kitten-time). Katy, the one we kept was my boon companion til I moved away (no cats allowed in dorm or first few apts) and lived to be almost 16.

Just toooooo cute! I love her! I have a 15 yr. old, 6 yr. old and an 8 month kitten and I treat them as my kids. And the people with the negative comments are apparently not animal lovers.

OMG, the pur. The PURR!

Baby talk actually has a purpose. In child development circles, it’s known as “motherese.” Babies prefer (as in get obvious bored slower) the long musical words.
There is the variant often called “dogese” (I guess you could say “catese” too). The difference is that dogese doesn’t put emphasis on different parts of the sentence (verbs especially) that you do in motherese in order to actually teach infants language. So apparently we do get subconsciously that cute things must be talked to in a musical manner, but animals aren’t going to need to talk back the same way that human babies will.
Just an FYI. That college education was good for something…

One thing I’ve never understood:

How do they manage to stuff such a big motor into such a tiny body?

It’s just one more thing that makes kittehs so miraculous………..
