She's just totally adorable!!!! :kitty:

So her owners are Japanese. Cats are very popular in Japan. There are even cat cafés there, where you can pat a cat while you drink your latte! Here's a picture from a cat café, which looks more like a bar with cats to me.

They are marvellous photos - and the photographer ISN'T professional!

And Daisy, the kitten, is --- well, she just sets the Gold Standard in Adorable and in Cute...

This thread has been languishing in limbo for a relativley long time. Long time, no see. Isn't it time to revive it? When you look at this kitten... don't you feel that some people love kittens because they are so much like little human tots?

Adorable, i can probably stretch to, if not somewhat on the low end of adorable. It's the 'cute' part that i just can't get to. :mrgreen:

To be fair I also think jumping spiders and a good portion of hymenoptera are cute.

"50 DEADLY SPIDERS FOUND," a front-page headline in the Los Angeles Times announced on June 7, 1969. "VENOM LIKE RATTLESNAKES." Infestations have been reported in Vancouver, British Columbia, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Florida. The serious bites form a necrotising ulcer that destroys soft tissue and may take months, and very rarely, years to heal, leaving deep scars. The damaged tissue will become gangrenous and eventually slough away.>>

What a brave man! (Or not.)

Personally I find snakes very beautiful, although I don't think they are cute. But I don't find spiders attractive one way or another. On the other hand, I do realize that they are important in regulating the overall balance in nature, by catching so many insects.

Yeah! Little jumping spiders are cute. Big ones, not so cute, but very interesting when you see them jump at a fly and catch it. :yes:
Don't know what hymenoptera are as yet. I may get around to looking it up... but probably not. :mrgreen:

I like pictures of snakes, but don't really care to be around them for real. Pictures are a lot safer!

Snakes are cute, especially baby snakes or just tiny snakes in general. Or vine snakes. But they look cute in a freaky way.

I've always wondered why a band around a cat's chest or abdomen immobilizes it. I had a few ideas but nothing to be sure about.

How very strange. I didn't know that it would - never having dreamed of trying it on any of our cats (who won't even tolerate collars.)
I presume it's something to do with kitten behaviour to go limp when picked up in its mother's mouth - but that wouldn't be a band around the middle.

What ideas do you have, Geckzilla?
