So Ugly They’re Cute

Cat13

A few months ago a box arrived on my doorstep. As I opened the box I found to my huge surprise a basket of 5 furry stuffed kittens. Each one had it's own distinct markings and look. No two were alike. There was one oddball kitten that was perfect, pink and fluffy looking. The others however were a bit motley.

Cat15

This one looks a little grumpy.

Cat2

One-eyed.

 These kittens needed a home and they found their way to my house.

 Much like you see in the movies when a lone person finds an abandoned baby in a basket. They quickly take the basket in search of finding a warm cozy home and leave the baby at the doorstep.

My sweet friend Kari Ramstrom was that lone person who was shopping an Estate Sale in her hometown and discovered the silly cute basket of kittens that looked like they needed some TLC.

Kari immediately thought of me and figured I could rescue and give them the perfect home they desperately needed.

I lined them all up and with the help of my daughter we named each of them.

 

(L to R)

Marshmallow, Daisy, Prissy, Cousin Ed, and Snowball

Cat7

We thought Prissy fit this kitten because she's the prettiest.

Cat5

 

Vivan was most happy to welcome and show them love.

Cat10

 


Cat8

 

Kiss! Kiss!

 

Cat9

 

Kitties must not have "cat fights" so we must teach them to get along and love one another.

 

Cat11

I couldn't help but crack up watching this. So silly….I know!!!

Cat12

 

We both had a terrific idea of letting the kitties hang out in the dollhouse.

Cat19

 

Marshmallow was exhausted from the long trip so she retired to the bedroom.

Cat18

 

Oops! Wrong way! This is the headboard.

 

  Cat21

 

Prissy wanted to surf the net and chat online with her kitten friends from far away.

 

Cat23

 

Marshmallow wanted to chill at the posh outdoor patio and catch some rays.

 

Cat22

 

Snowball wanted to hang in the attic and watch Strawberry Shortcakes dance moves.

 

Cat24
 

 

They each had their own little spot.

Cat26

Thank you Kari for thinking of me. You knew I would be tickled and giggle over them.

One day soon they will find a place on my studio "Happy Shelf".

 

I adore these so ugly but cute kittens. 🙂
