Cat pictures, take five.

Well, I'm in Seattle, I have my new kitten, and I have my camera. This means that I have a moral obligation to provide a cat photo post, as failure to do so may get me smacked by a variety of people. Since most of you have never "met" Alice before, I'm starting with my earliest photos of her, and moving on from there. Also, as a special treat for all you dog fans (and Jim Hines fans, and fans of my mother), I'm including the first-ever posted pictures of Smudge.

Onward to the adorable!

( Cut because kindness says 'do not force others to look at your cats without actually agreeing to the activity.' Also because there are several graphics here.Collapse )

Oh good god, so beautiful! Alice is without a doubt adooorable, and I'm so jealous of you getting to take her home, but Jane! Jane's colour and markings are gorgeous! I wish I had a few hundred dollars to spare and room for another kitty.

Also, serious puppy is serious. And I want to poke him on the nose and scritch him on the belly. <3

Serious puppy really was taken away from her mother too early. But fortunately, my mother is providing her with all the love, care, and high-protein formula she needs to reach her full potential.

Awwwwwwwwwww. Almost makes me willing to think about having live furbabies rather than stuffed. Almost. (Love other folks furbabies, but have highly allergic to fur family members whom I love dearly.)

Pardon. In addition to stuffed, not rather than.

...I begin to doubt my assertion that Ray has no Maine Coon in him, because that face shape....

That aside, your kitty is SO GORGEOUS. I want. Since I'm pretty sure you don't intend to give her up, I shall have to want to meet and pet some day instead. She is so, so cute.

(So is Smudge, but over here, I be a cat person, so...kitty!)

seanan_mcguire

April 7 2009, 01:39:27 UTC 8 years ago

You definitely need to meet both my girls. They're wonderful.

I told my hubby (the Maine Coon Collector) about the kitten FLOOF comment. He giggled.

It is SO true about the MCs. They are masters of the floof. I should really take more pictures of the little girl and show off.

(Big kitty pics are available here: Ichigo to the left, Kisuke to the right. Ichi floof! Kisuke is the original longcat.)

ZOHMIGOD, those cats are so beautiful. As I'm sure you know, my father has a Maine Coon, Tucker, and I adore him, and because of him, all the other cats in the world seem not fluffy enough for me, or big enough. Because while she may be tiny now, she'll be huge later. Trust me. I need to get a hold of Betsy, I think, because when I get back from my Disney thing, I'm moving out of my house and whether that means moving in with the boyfriend or somewhere myself, I will absolutely NEED one of those.

Betsy has a website with kitten pics. http://www.pinecoon.com

She can probably recommend a more-local-to-you source for Maine Coons - they're all over the place ;)

Kittens: they drive us to abuse the caps lock.

April 4 2009, 07:37:51 UTC 8 years ago

Kewt overload! Srsly. ESpecially the two of them together...

The only Maine Coon I have actually met was also blue tabby. And small, I think she weighed about 5 pounds, but with a quantity of fluff suitable for a cat three times her weight.

seanan_mcguire

April 7 2009, 01:41:55 UTC 8 years ago

Are you sure she was a Maine Coon? Alice is already four pounds.

canadianevil

April 4 2009, 07:40:23 UTC 8 years ago

Wow! Alice looks like a gorgeous girl, I think I am very jealous.

*sneaky grabby hands at kitty. and puppy*

seanan_mcguire

Well, if you come over, you can play with them.

You got Maine Coon'd. Resistance is futile.

The brown tabby looks a bit like my insane massivelittle fluffball.

seanan_mcguire

April 7 2009, 01:42:30 UTC 8 years ago

Resistance was futile from the start. But somehow, I don't mind.

April 4 2009, 11:52:31 UTC 8 years ago

I...I....

The kitten pictures overwhelmed me with awesome, and then you added a puppy that is a blending of two of my favorite breeds. *ESPLODE OF CUTE*

Also, your mom has tattoos, which make her WIN EVEN MORE.

seanan_mcguire

April 7 2009, 01:42:48 UTC 8 years ago

My mom has like twenty tattoos; so do both of my sisters. We're an exciting family.

Cats and dogs

I am not really a cat person (ok, there may be a cat person inside of me - I did find the pictures adorable!), but I thought Smudge looked so cute! Do they play together?

Re: Cats and dogs

seanan_mcguire

April 7 2009, 01:43:12 UTC 8 years ago

Not yet -- they haven't met.

Congratulation on the new kitten. And puppy sibling ;-)

It's pretty overwhelming, it's true.

Yay for acquisition of furballs! 8-)

I'm so happy.

Squeeeee... kitteh! And puppeh!!

*dies of cute*

Pet Alice for me, snuggle Smudge, and tell your Mom I said "hi" (and that I still thank her for giving me a "dog fix" in the midst of my California trip last year).

seanan_mcguire

April 7 2009, 01:43:47 UTC 8 years ago

Will do!

gnomi

April 5 2009, 01:29:07 UTC 8 years ago

Ky-oooot!

We have friends who had a Maine Coon. As a kitten, he looked like a squirrel because his long body fur took a while to come in, but his tail was all Maine Coon.

seanan_mcguire

April 7 2009, 01:44:03 UTC 8 years ago

Alice has almost as much tail as she does body. It's impressive as hell.
