I ran into this definition of kitten on Teh Intarwebs that tickled my funnybone:

    "Kitten: A small homicidal muffin on legs that; affects human sensibilities to the point of endowing the most wanton acts of destruction with near-mystical overtones of cuteness. Source: Anonymous"


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,

Pom as a small kitten

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.)

MORE ADORABLE KITTY PICS! Gosh, they are all so cute. That one of Pom next to the owl figurine is really neat, from a photography standpoint. Plus 'milk mustache'. ^^

Aw, thank you!

Thanks! It came out extraordinarily well, didn't it? Every now and then a picture turns out much better than I expected. Most of the time, not so much. Like the picture of "Big Vienne" above, which is rather blurry.

"Milk mustache"--that's just the right name for it!
