Okay, she’s not really dying. (Though if she keeps up the bitching I may very well kill her…)
My 8 year old niece is staying with me for several weeks, and desperately misses her cats. If you have cute pictures of your cats posted somewhere and would be willing to share the urls, she’d love to see them.
And viewing them should keep her from whining about nothing to do for at least a few minutes. Right? Right?

You have GOT to be kidding.
This is so not funny.
What’s the matter with you?

Upon reconsideration, a thread full of kitty pix is not such a bad idea . . . even if the original execution was not so hot.
I have edited the thread title to something more suitable and less likely to make someone want to slap the OP into the middle of next week.
Let the feline parade go past!

There’s a million kitty pics at [http://www.ratemykitten.com/](http://www.ratemykitten.com/) and she can even rate the pictures to keep her busy.

Um, sorry – lame attempt at humor didn’t go over well. I was trying to evoke an echo of those undying Usenet legends about the dying kids who want to collect a billion business cards or postcards or whatever. It didn’t occur to me that anyone would take it seriously for a second.
(If you mean my threat to kill my niece, that too was just a joke. Niece will be returned to her parents with not a hair harmed. My count of gray hairs, however, is likely to have gone through the roof by then.)
Thanks for changing the title – sorry once again for upsetting you.

This is the kitten I found almost a year ago, from [this thread here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=131123) The kitten turned out to be a she, and she is such a honey.

Well, I’ve got [this little guy](http://home.earthlink.net/imagelib/sitebuilder/misc/show_image.html?linkedwidth=actual&linkpath=http://home.earthlink.net/~dwyr/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/baby2.jpg&target=tlx_new).
You’ve no idea how long it took to post this. He keeps strolling across the keyboard.
Then there’s [kitty number two](http://home.earthlink.net/imagelib/sitebuilder/misc/show_image.html?linkedwidth=actual&linkpath=http://home.earthlink.net/~dwyr/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/3-21-2003a.JPG&target=tlx_new). He’s a real marshmallow.
And this would be the [top kitty](http://home.earthlink.net/imagelib/sitebuilder/misc/show_image.html?linkedwidth=actual&linkpath=http://home.earthlink.net/~dwyr/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/11-10-2002.jpg&target=tlx_new). She runs the household. When she’s not hiding in the laundry that is.

Seriously. We’re talking weapons-grade cute, here. The kind of cute that could bring lasting peace to the Middle East.

I’ll have kitties to share pictures of on Sunday. 🙂
But I don’t have a digital camera, so posting links to pictures will have to wait until I manage to get a roll of film developed.

Try [www.catoftheday.com](http://www.catoftheday.com) - it’ll take her forever to get through all of them. Plus there are cute little stories of how the cats adopted their people. Hope you have broadband!

My cats, Cobalt and Rhodium, are at [http://www.contracheck.com/cats](http://www.contracheck.com/cats). It’s been way too long since we updated this site with their grownup pictures, but there’s lots of kitten pictures.

I need a Web site so I can put pictures up. ☹
kellibelli, that is a truly beautiful photograph. And the cat can’t be so supid if he adores your child, now, can he??? 🙂
