She is a six week old tortoiseshell kitty called Thistle.

Awww.... how cute!

How appropriate -- soft and fluffy like thistledown -- very prickly and scratchy like the rest of the plant if squeezed unnecessarily.

I love kittens
I really wish I could get a kitten that never grew up
just stayed playful, cute, and soft

awww! lucky you!
i need to get rid of some kittens...my cat had five and i've got to find homes for them.

What kind of cat is she?

What do the kittens look like? Males, females?

Piccies please???

[nil]

Got any picture of the kitty?

[TheCountess]

As soon as I can find the digital camera and get her to stay still, I'll post a photo

This is terrible news.

Now that I'm moving to Perth, I intended to take Thistle with me. But I have realised now this wouldn't be fair to her. Here in NZ she has a large property to play on, but in Perth I'll have an inner city apartment. Here, she has company, my large family and other pets, but in Perth she'd be all alone while I'm working. And Perth has poisonous things. So really, for the good of my kitty, I have to leave her behind.

And it's breaking my heart in a way that leaving my family isn't.

well you don't have to leave her behind
I know plenty of kitties who live only with their owners and stay inside all the time and they seem to enjoy it a lot

but I am sorry that you have to leave her

I think you can teach Thistle to use internet, then you two can email each other.

That's a great idea nil. She's already awesome at using the keyboard. And probly better than some people I know at email
