A few of you may remember a few months ago when our kitty, Maxx got hit by a car, and how undone my husband was after. Maxx was a wonderful friend, and he can never be replaced. But still, we both have kitty sized holes in our hearts. Our two girls are sweet and cuddlsome, but they aren’t as entertaining as Maxx was. Sooo, I decided we needed another boy kitty. He is Hubby’s Christmas present and he came home today. Hubby’s at work until 6 am tomorrow, so I thought I’d get the little guy used to the place for awhile. I gave him a bath to remove his mom’s odor, and I’ll scent mark him from one of the girls, as soon as I find one of them. Until then he’s asleep on my shoulder. So, now the moment you’ve all been waiting for: PICTURES! Introducing, [New Kitten](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/picunurse/newkitten3.jpg) [wrapped in a towel](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/picunurse/newkitten2.jpg) [after his first bath.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/picunurse/newkitten1.jpg) [But, somethings you have to do yourself.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/picunurse/newkitten.jpg) Now, everyone, think happy thoughts so Hubby doesn’t get mad at me for making a unilateral decision to expand our family. Hubby will be naming him, and he may need ideas, so feel free to make suggestions. ---

He’s a very pretty kitty! Are his eyes really blue, or is that a combination of the lighting and the camera flash? ---

OOOOOooooooooooooh. What’s your address? Because I will track you down and steal him and cuddle him and call him George. The law may call it catnapping, but I call it love. ---

How could your husband be mad at you? You could hide the kitty behind your slinkily covered posterior and say, " How would you like a little pussy for Christmas?" 😃 ---

> [@PapSett](#): > > AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! He is adorable ! I vote for Buster. He looks like a Buster to me. Oh man, now I’m torn. All our cats get nicknames, spontaneously awarded to match their personalities. When he’s not being called [Cuervo](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/cat%20pictures/PC040007.jpg) , this one’s nickname is Buster. So Buster or Booger. ---
