Aww, cute!

 

Here are my kitties. They are about 6 months old - we got them in November. They are super loving.

 

 

Who are you,  and what have you done with Shelly?

[guzziguy]

Corrupted by cuteness!

I didn’t know they came in black.  Gorgeous!

The Schiit or the Sphinx?

[Dusty Chalk]

The hairless cat, so...Sphinx?

[EdipisReks1]

You would almost think they got along. 

[EdipisReks1]

Dunhill's favorite place.

Tacocat

[swt61]

It's gonna take a pretty big tortilla!

[Dusty Chalk]

No, that's her name.  😄

[robm321]

But now I wanna taco 🌮

[Fitz]

Tacocat spelled backwards is Tacocat.

[Dusty Chalk]

And someone is about to lose their dog. 😭 I could hear the bawling from across the parking lot.  I felt so bad for them...

[Dusty Chalk]

Besides,  she's a scrawny little thing. 

[Dusty Chalk]

Yup, she’s a keeper.  Knows a sucker/cat whisperer when she sees/smells one.

[Dusty Chalk]

Today’s Tacocat update:

She stopped hiding after about 24 hours and is very affectionate.  She spends each time I come in her room (keeping them separated for now) unable to decide which  she wants more, food or cuddling.  She already lets me rub her belly!

I wish my life could be this chill and relaxing

Potentially renaming Tacocat to Kikiki (so like Kiki, except 150% more), but not doing it officially until I stop changing my mind, I've already changed it twice.

Still in quarantine, draws blood less often, but has destroyed not one but two litter mats.  WTF?  I've never seen this before.  This kind:

Going to keep her in quarantine even if she tests clean for worms next week.  I don't want her doing that to Bobby.

Wow, what happened between "very affectionate" to "drawing blood less often"

[en480c4]

These two just turned two!  They’re the best.

Beautiful cats!

I personally like Chalupa Chatte better. Less pedestrian.

She’s still very affectionate, but also I think the hunter instinct is still very strong in her.  She doesn’t use her claws on me all the time, so she is learning, I just feel we still have a long way to go.

But not a palindrome.

For that matter, neither is Kikiki, so perhaps Kikikik?

[skullguise]

You could go with the longest single-word palindrome....but it may be tough to pronounce (and has little relevance to kitties, I'd hope)

"saippuakivikauppias"

The longest known palindromic word is saippuakivikauppias (19 letters), which is Finnish for a dealer in lye (caustic soda)

I like that it is "Kivik" for short...hmm...

I've got a black cat that came with the house. He came wandering up after we moved in.

It took months to transition him to the indoors. He was king of the backyard, doing battle with anything that moved.

He would kill it and drop it on the back patio. After three years, we don't let him out at all.

We do let him out in the screen porch. He likes lap sitting, but quite often extends his claws

when he's purring and getting a rub. so affectionate and blood letting go hand in hand around here.
