  5. Ali-Baba says:

    Those eyes, it’s like falling into a wee pair of penseives…

    I want to plant the lightest little kiss on that sweet nose. Such a precious face.

  10. 6Rabbits says:

    *heads out to buy entire kitty-related contents of pet store for Buckles*

    • Fird Birfle says:

      *enjoys this thoroughly*

      PS: don’t forget to get her a coupla mousies (REAL ONES) to chase !!!!

      • Berg says:

        After our cats saw a real squeaky toy (a.k.a., live mousie), they no longer had any interest in the fake ones.

        This kitten is adorable. I too would be powerless to resist…

  11. Katey says:

    Yes Buckles. Let me fetch you whichever gift you’d like to open. I’ll get you a dish of whipped cream, too, if it would please your highness.

    • Wend says:

      My aunt and uncle’s (extremely overweight) cat used to share a bed-time bowl of ice cream with my uncle every night. Sadly, a true story. But a very happy cat!! ;)

  12. Mina says:

    *gives the kitty ALL the presents and ALL the ribbons to play with*

    • bookmonstercats says:

      She’ll probably be happier with the ribbons, anyway……..

    • TUM says:

      My Missy-cat loves to pull the bows off packages with her teef. She doesn’t play with them afterwards; she’s just got very strong opinions about whether they belong on the boxes.

      • Noelegy says:

        Yeah, I can’t wrap presents until right before I take them to the recipients, else the bows will be “inspected” by the resident cattage.

        • victoreia says:

          And “improved” by same, no doubt! (No, thank you, Kyuri, it doesn’t need teeth marks in it!)

  13. Megumi's Mom says:

    I think Buckles got a HOME for Christmas… but yes honey you can open this special one NOW…

    she’s a sweetie.

    • Gigi says:

      A forever home would be the GREATEST gift! I hope she gets it!
      Cross fingers, toes, eyes and everithing else I can cross!!!!

  14. ^oo^ says:

    It’s already Solstice and we Pagans say open your gifts immediately! And thank you for this wee beauty… she can snuggle in at our house right now.

    • bookmonstercats says:

      So what do we wish you, ^oo^? Happy Solstice? :)

    • Gigi says:

      Happy Solstice.
      Hug a pagan today.
      Yule be glad you did!

    • Andy says:

      In a similar vein, I’m happy to be a Jew: I don’t have to say no to those eyes. Go ahead, keetten, Hanukkah is well underway.

      • victoreia says:

        Happy belated Solstice! And happy (second day of?) Hanukkah! (I was lazy yesterday, and stayed home to watch T.V. for Solstice.)

    • StormCat42 says:

      I’m celebrating Yule by harboring in my home, with three Kittehs, away from the world… Peace, quiet, and with a candle illuminating the evening… Peaceful Yule to anyone who celebrates it, Happy Hanukkah, and Merry Christmas!!

      Meanwhile, give that wee Kitteh anything she wants!!

  15. jen says:

    oh my gawd! just give him a gift! GIVE HIM A GIFT! AAAAAAAAAAH!!

  16. Jaye says:

    Putting that first close-up was bad enough, but the second? Puh-leaaaase! What are you trying to do to my heart! I just cant be-LIEVE it! Wif its ickle bickle noses and great big eyeses! Oh the agony!!!

  17. Alice Shortcake says:

    It looks as though Buckles has already managed to open the ‘Bottomless-Well- o’Cuteness’ eye drops and ‘Kitteh Nose Pinkener (Patent Applied For)’.

  18. Gigi says:

    Avec ce visage on lui donnerais le bon Dieu sans conffession!

    Loosely translated it means, with that face, she could get into heaven without having to go to confession!

  19. Oh my! Who could resist? Please it’s just one gift, right? Adorable photograph! This blog always makes my day!

  20. WendyLady says:

    Dem eyes, oh dem eyes! They haf killt me ded! I am your slave widdle kitteh, lets open dem presents! Santy bring you more!

  21. Val says:

    She just wants the wrapping and boxes anyways.

    Noooo you hav..oh okay.. I cannot say no.

  22. skippymom says:

    I could never say no to a calico!

    My friends here probably know that Skippy is my number one and my soulmate; but I have to confess that since I have had Chloe, I have been completely under the spell of the calico. Calico RULES.

    • oh yeah calico rules and if it a torby calico they rule with an Iron Paw!

      • skippymom says:

        Chloe is smart enough to understand she has to respect Skippy, and she behaves with affectionate deference toward him.
        But when she moved in, she immediately rounded up the two younger boys and said, “Now see here, you boys. From now on you answer to me. Do I make myself clear?” and they bowed before her and said, “Yes, MA’AM!” She is about the Iron Paw.

        • LOL Well Magneato (See my Gravatar) was the most fiesty cat we ever had and she rulled everyone including the sheep, chickens, and that pesky neighborhood Hawk. LOL,.

          Good thing Cloe is so demure! :)

    • Fird Birfle says:

      “Pssssssssssssst…..*stage whisper* Hey!! SKIPPY…c’mere….I got sump’n tah tell ya…..”

  23. amy2 says:

    must reeseest the ayes… reeeeseeeeest.. oh fur-git it… let’s go to petsmart and buy the store!

    My 18 year old passed a few weeks ago – so i soooo want to get all the kitties there!

    • skippymom says:

      So sorry, Amy. I’m sure he/she had the best life you could give. May you find your next kitty when the time is right.

    • Jaye says:

      Oh, Amy! My Cleo was 20 this year, and we just had to put her to sleep a week and a half ago, too. I hope, like me, you’re finding soothing, vicarious fuzzy cuteness as a healing balm for your soul here. I’m so sorry for your loss.

    • victoreia says:

      *hugs* to Amy and to Jaye. Any time is tough, but especially the holidays….

    • StormCat42 says:

      To Amy and Jaye, I send you fuzzy gentle hugs from my fur-babies… Any time is tough to lose someone, but the holidays make it harder… I’ll keep you in my thoughts…

    • Lillith says:

      Amy and Jaye, my condolences. I posted here a few days ago that I had to put my 16 year old girl Polly down about 3 weeks ago and it was very hard. I’m sure the three of them are pouncing on each other and sharing catnip balls over the Rainbow Bridge.

    • Teresa says:

      :cry: AWW :cry: I am so sorry to hear that, amy2 :cry: (BIG CYBER HUG)

  24. AuntieBellum says:

    Heck, Buckles, you can have all of MY presents, too. Right now!

  25. Juno says:

    Here, baby, have this can of tuna. And some kitty treats. Catnip, toys, whipped cream–there you go. Here’s a nice soft pillow for you to curl up on. Oh, look–I found the heating pad! Let me just crank it up for you. We’ll put it on a nice high spot where you can look out the window while I go make you a nice clean kitty box. Next I’ll come back and rub your cheeks and scritch you ears. Then I’ll put that nasty vacuum out on the curb so it will go away forever. Now, where did I leave that laser toy and the nice soft brush . . . .

  26. elishab. says:

  29. Noelegy says:
