A Freakishly Large Kitten Head

1. Ooooh, you've really got to stop this, Bertha. I can't take much more.

Head so round. Check. Nose and mouth so pink. Check. Little eyes not quite open. Check. Ears still folded down. Check.

*SWOON*

2. Mulitply those *checks* by four . . .

you think you're swooning now? Come on over!

3. I would if I still lived in DC ...

Darn that 3,000 miles of land between me and those Skittens! :hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

4. Yeah. Well, there is that.

Crap.

:hi:

5. absolutely darling!

but -- is this skitten's head noticeably larger than the others? If so, probably a boy. And answers a question I've had for a while... our gigantic male tuxedo (who chased a Boxer out of our yard the other day - reminded me of the photo you have with - is it Daddy? - chasing the dog! lol) has an ENORMOUS head. It just boggles the mind. My husband, who is 6'4" (and has proportionate hands for such a tall guy) can't get his hand around Ivan's head (though we can both easily 'palm' our other cats' heads). And I've always wondered about his poor birth momma - was Ivan's head just huge when he was a kitten, too? (he came to us as a stray about 2 years ago).

Too freaking cute, bertha. Darling babies.

9. No, his/her head is the same size as the others'.

I just noticed that the full-size image is far larger than life-size. I cropped the image and then reduced the size of the file by about 30%.

I wish I knew why some cats have large heads. All of them are way stuck up; why do only some of them get the big head?

6. The eyes are starting to open.

And that little pink nose!- squeal!

They are too cute.

:loveya:

7. Michael just asked ...

"can Bertha send one to us?"

I WISH!!

I'm telling ya ..... we are still going to retire to New Mex and have a cat farm next door to you ladies!

[bertha katzenengel]

11. Actually we changed our minds: We're retiring to home. Orange County,

and hopefully Huntington Beach.

But as for cat farms, check out www.bestfriends.org - Utah animal sanctuary. :7

PS It was Kathy who changed our minds, after spending a week in HB in February. That's all it took.

13. Bertha, we gotta get together!

When you do, please let me know.

OC welcomes you with open arms.
We have KitchenWitch down here, too.

I've always wondered why you had HB's city emblem on
your page- duh- you lived there!!

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

14. I had no idea you were in So. California, Kajsa

:dunce:

If I knew before, I'd obviously forgotten. I know KW is there -- we met at my BIL's party in December. Love huh!

:bounce:

I'll pm the So. Californians I know next time we go home. Don't know when that will be; Kathy's health and that of her mom & dad hold a lot of questions right now.

:hug:

8. oh. my. gawd.

Bertha, you are giving me SERIOUS kitten envy. Oh man I loves me some kittens. Kittens are the finest form of life on earth.

15. "Kittens are the finest form of life on earth."

ABSOLUTELY! :D

[bertha katzenengel]

17. "Kittens are the finest form of life on earth." Yes, that's why it's

sometimes very hard to foster them. But I love doing it. And Mrs. V. indulges me with love.

10. AAAAWWWWWW! This is so darn cute.

Thanks for finally showing us the kitties.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. That little pink nose... AWWWW!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Hmmm... If I leave for the airport right now, I'll arrive at BWI at 11:39, and I think my pet carrier will fit under the seat, and I have some extra cat litter and a spare box, and lots of food; and I could be back home by early evening, so....

AAUUGHH! Need kittens! Must have kittens!!!

[bertha katzenengel]

19. You're welcome to our guest room too!

But wait about 6-7 more weeks. ;)

[applegrove]

16. Wow. That kitten face takes up only the bottom 1/3 of that head. You were not kidding! Now

give that kitty back to its mommy right now! LOL

[bertha katzenengel]

20. "Now give that kitty back to its mommy right now!"

:rofl:

[applegrove]

21. Those words were said to me by my nefew years ago. I was holding

up a gardner snake to show him...and he cried "give that snake back to its mommy right now"! I thought it was precious.

[bertha katzenengel]

22. that is highlarious
