Shall we be Cute or Bad, Asks Calliope?

Not Afraid · 06-21-2007, 07:59 PM

If you read the sooooo thread, you know that we have a new kitten in our lives. She's everything I didn't want (girl, tabby) and, it turns out, everything I wanted - she's amazing!. We've been calling her Calliope (or Kalipope) - which means Beautiful-Voiced - however, she's had moments of being Kali - the Hindu goddess of destruction. We'll see which version of her name sticks.

She's very talkative and has a TON of different sounds she makes - from little coos to wild animal roars. The roars somehow seem appropriate coming from such a wild-looking beastie. She's playful, as most kittens are, but she's incredibly affectionate as well. She's a MAJOR cuddle girl and took to sleeping in bed with us immediately.

It's only been 2 days and the boys have adjusted and Aleister is simply in LOVE with her (new toy!). She's still the one who makes the most noise around the boys. They just sit patiently as she roars - except Scoundrel who still needs an attitude adjustment.

I'll have to take a few more pictures of her, but here's the first dispatch. She's incredibly difficult to photograph. I need to have a camera on had 27/7 - but she'd just eat it if I left it out.

WAAAYYYY too cute! Must come visit.

She's really starting to feel comfortable. Baton down the hatches!

Look at those long legs!

you do know grey stripers are inherently insane, yes?
the grey stripes grow inward and tickle their brain. (I've had 4 over time)

/sigh
I miss having a cat sometimes

only sometimes

Are you sure she's not a gazelle?

I love to see all of your kitty pictures!!

We only have the one Kitty, I don't think our house is capable of handling two cats.

But your photos sure make it look tempting....

I think it is true about the stripes...our Kitty is pretty similar in color to Calliope...she is crazy. She will attack me some mornings when I came out for my first cup o' joe. And, you can play hide and seek with her.

Anyways, I am really glad to hear how she is settling in. ;0)

She really and truly is adorable and loud and... everything NA's ever said about her. Sooooo cute!

A gazelle with some satellite dishes attached

How fun having a bouncy kitten around!

She looks very bright- check out how intently she focuses on things. Cute baby....she's not going to be a wallkitty. I think Kali is going to be her name.

(As with children, I like cats with attitude. She's got attitude.)
