Kitten!

[resonant]

We brought him home today. His name is Barnabas.

P.S. Thanks to all who weighed in on the spraying issue -- obviously you reassured us enough that we decided to go for it.

The name Barnabas was hastily chosen to prevent the kidlet from naming him Shadow. (We were safe from Midnight because they said, "That's a girl's name.")

Ohh, he's adorable! I love the too-big ears and paws. And, of course, those green green eyes...

In real life the eyes are gold -- he's probably going to be a big old Halloween cat when he grows up.

You should hear the cooing and squeeing in our apartment right now.

His great big ears! So cute!!

[ellen-fremedon.livejournal.com]

Oh, look at his little ears! Or rather his hyooooge fruit-bat ears! And his little black pawses and, and--

*ded from cute*

[azephirin.livejournal.com]

OMG so cute! Look at his giant ears!!!!

[black-and-bloom.livejournal.com]

Super cute - those paws are to die for. And I love black cats - they are super snuggly. Congrats on your adoption!

Blessed are you among the cat-touched! And lo, he shall bite your toes when they peep out from under the sheets, and he shall attach his entire body to your bare ankle as you pass through a door, and he shall awaken you by washing your eyelids with his personal tongue! And you shall know much joy with this, your cat.

*cracks up* A wonderful prayer for the newly be-catted :D

Congrats Res & Husband & Kidlet! Kitties are such a wonderful part of a house :) Barnabas is a lovely name! What will he be called for short?

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

So far the only nickname he's collected is Bigfoot, for obvious reasons.

Aww! [is tempted to cross-stitch that on a pillow]

[frog4.livejournal.com]

KITTY! *incoherent squeaking and flailing* KITTY!

I may perish from the cuteness.

[venivincere]

Yay, Barnabas-kitty! He has eyes like Neptune.

[copernica3.livejournal.com]

Awwwww! Cutie!

[vickita.livejournal.com]

Squee!!!! Kitten!!!! What a beautiful baby.

[kestrelsan.livejournal.com]

He's *adorable*.

[gnomad.livejournal.com]

Awwwww!!!

[tigerblak.livejournal.com]

Now that's a cute kitty.

*covets kitty with big ears*

[crysothemis.livejournal.com]

Adorable! And black! I love black cats.

*looks around for her two black kitties*

Even if they are kind of hard to spot in the dark.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I have always wanted a black cat. So I'm happy now.

[djin7.livejournal.com]

eeee adorable!! Oh, so curious, too. Oh, yes, I see trouble with that one. Hee. *winks*

[misspamela.livejournal.com]

Stop it! Just stop with the cuteness! OMG, he looks naughty.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, he is. He's eaten most of the old lady cat's food, for one thing.

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

what a cutie!

Ha ha girlo!

[lucitania.livejournal.com]

My friend Darla thought that both of her kittens were girls and so she gave them both girly names--Mavis and Precious--but then later on, Mavis revealed that he had teh harblz.

Those were the hard times.

He's still called Mavis, though.

[basingstoke.livejournal.com]

Oh my. He is definitely a Barnabas.

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

OMG, he's precious!

[fairestcat]

Awwwwwwww. *skritches him*

[way2busymom.livejournal.com]

Oooh...he looks like he's got personality out the wazoo!

*grins*

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Yes, he does! Plus, given the size of those paws, I'm betting he grows up to be huge.

[reginagiraffe]

Ooooohhhh, look at how cyuuuute he is!

*is jealous*

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

AWWWWWW! Now I want one, too!!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Shame you don't live closer. There were at least three more from this litter, and one of them had a white chin.

What a lovely boy. I had a black cat, Nelson, and he was gorgeous. Good luck with Barnabas.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Nelson is a fabulous name for a cat.
