The World's Cutest Kitten Lives Here



This is the latest member of our family. Her name is Babycakes. Michelle and her roommates rescued this little kitten when her mother, owned by a roommate's sister, abandoned the entire litter. Babycakes was the runt of the litter and was sickly. The girls nursed her back to health, adminstering antibiotics and milk replacement. Michelle brought her home at Thanksgiving time. We had a local vet check her out. She is in very good health now, although she's a little underweight.





Babycakes has quickly wormed her way into our lives and hearts. She is very playful and fun to watch. She has a thing about shoes. Since she is so small, she can't be an outside cat until next spring, so she occupies the sun porch at night. She has regular play dates with the other two kittens (who look ginormous next to her!) so she will learn normal cat behaviors.



Here she is, with eyes all aglow, in our cozy family room.





This gives you a perspective of how tiny Babycakes is. She is sitting on the futon on the sun porch here.

What a cute kitten! Makes me want to abandon reason (I'm allergic) and give her a huge snuggle!
