Definition of kitten
I ran into this definition of kitten on Teh Intarwebs that tickled my funnybone:
It occurred to me that this definition also applies to Vienne, who is still very much a smallish muffin on legs.
Pom, as a baby cat, looked like a dust mouse,
but he has grown into a very elegant, long-legged creature with a jaunty manner.
Vienne, however, is still rather squarish and short-legged and made up primarily of fluff, despite being a fierce maraudress and a terror to unsuspecting geckoes*, spiders, and reservoirs of water**.
Baby Vienne
Big Vienne (not that much bigger)
So I have added "Muffin" to her list of epithets, alongside Princess. Because cats with personality need more than one nickname, and Pom already has several.
*(No, she doesn't go outside. She finds the poor creatures in the garage and brings them into the house for fun times.)
**(Well aware of Vienne's proclivities for knocking over any container that might possibly contain liquid, we now use large plastic cups--the kind you get free from barbecue joints--as water pitchers and try to remember to empty them before leaving the room.)

Aw, thank you! We really didn't know what to expect, and were astonished and delighted how elegantly he turned out! He is just a wonderful kitty and we love him to pieces.
Vienne sounds like a little terror. ♥ And a lot like my Daisy!
She is! And yet, thoroughly loveable--as I'm sure Daisy is, too!
