My eyes started misting up as I was looking at these pictures because this is *exactly* what Tubby looked like the very first time I saw him. And he was tiny too so his first mom named him Bitsy. Little did she know he would grow into a Tubby. And it's so great that he gets along so well with Noah, and I hope Noel comes around soon. Congratulations on your new addition and more pictures please!!!

I'll post some more pictures when I get home...we're off to the vet for his first check up!!

Gee, thanks. Tubby would be proud to have little Basil grow up just like him - except with no dandruff. Yes, the very first time I saw Tubby I was at a friend's house waiting for her to get ready so we could hit the town. I didn't know she had a kitten and all of a sudden this little black ball of fuzz went tearing across her bed - jumped off the edge (quite a jump for such a little guy) and tore out of the room. I was like "what in the world was that??!?!?!" "Oh that was Bitsy," she says and went to get him for me. He was so tiny, and such a bundle of energy (must have just gotten up from a nap) and immediately demonstrated the dreaded kitten claws by digging them into me when she handed him to me. I fell in love right then and there (even though I was bleeding) and a few months later when she had to give him up to move to a no-pets apartment I jumped at the chance to take him. I've never once regretted it, even when my arms were in shreds from playing with him. He was such a little terror. When I took him to the vet to get fixed, I was politely told that she was a he, and as he grew he was not so Bitsy anymore, so we had to come up with a new name. My brother noticed Tubby's belly pouch and started calling him Tubby, and, as they say, the rest is history.

I know Basil will live a pampered life of leisure just like Tubby, and hopefully it's a nice long life like Tubby has had so far too. I just wish I could snuggle with the little guy as he's sleeping like in one of your photos. Tubby used to - and still does - sleep right on my chest and was/is a total purring machine. (Ok, I'm feeling nostalgic now and rambling so I'll stop.)

Strangest thing....I was reading through trying to catch up with post and I SWEAR I saw one from you saying you wanted a black kitty!!!! And lo and behold....you have a black kitty.

True or am I crazy (or both!)

No, you aren't crazy, I've wanted one...so when my hubby picked out Basil...I was really happy at not having to "sell" another kitten to him!

Noah is adjusting really, really well. He loves to groom and chase Basil around!

OMG OMG OMG!!! A little kitten head!!! How cute!! Congrats on your newest family member!! Now I just gotta convince hubby that 3 cats isn't too many, so we can let poor stray Crookshanks inside! I'd so love to find her a home! I think 3 is a good number!
How adorable Basil is!!! Enjoy the kittenhood and be sure to share all of his antics with us!!! LOL My kitten cravings are coming on strong now! LOL LOL He's absolutely precious! Love the pics! Keep em coming and give all 3 of your precious kids some scritchies for me! I'm sure Noel will come around eventually

Awwwwwwwwwwe what a cutie patoooootie

[Vio&Juni]

Kelly, I really envy you fo having three kitties. When we had Vasile, Naomi and little Juni, all three of us had a kitty to sleep with. Now we fight over who takes Juni. She is the most reasonable. She sleeps a little with me, then a little with my sister, then she goes to my brother. But almost always I wake up with her on my head and get the cuddles in the morning.
Pictures with Noah and Basil are so beautiful. Their relation is exactly what Juni and her father Vasile had.

Of course 3 isn't too much! I think it's the perfect number...do Marius and Scooter like Crookshanks??

They seem curious about her, and I think they're getting used to her being in our backyard. I have her foodbowl right up against the back sliding glass door, so Marius and Scooter usually watch while she eats her food.
Aaron, however doesn't want her to come in, because we just don't have enough room. My mom would take her too, but my dad would throw a fit. Poor Crookshanks. I'm sure she'd make someone a good pet!
