We've had a new kitty in our house for a few weeks. A work mate of my son B-Dawg had a cat with a litter of kittens, and one of them attached himself to B-Dawg. His name is Tony and he has wound his way into our hearts with his playful and affectionate ways. But in a few days he will be joining B-Dawg at college....

Awww. Looks like B-Dawg will not be lacking for company when he's off at college. Cool that the cat 'chose' him.
There's always fun happening when there's cats around.
Lisa Frost Sep 21, 2008, 10:17pm EDT
He is adorable. My grandkitten is almost exactly like him. His name is Yocki.
Shoshana H. Sep 21, 2008, 10:25pm EDT
My, how things have changed! When I was in college, we couldn't have pets of any kind, and I had to keep hiding my kitties from management, which usually didn't work long but I always found good permanent homes for them, sigh. Ah, well, I'm glad things have changed!
J R B. Sep 21, 2008, 10:29pm EDT
How nice that he can tale the kitten with him.
Alison H. Sep 21, 2008, 10:30pm EDT
Yes, he was "chosen," Tanya! :-))

Thank you, Katherine and Lisa.

Shoshana, B-Dawg will be living in an apartment with his brother. They have to pay an extra fee to have a cat. Dogs are not allowed.

I agree, JRB!

I love new kittens. They are so neurotic!
Kushal Poddar Sep 21, 2008, 10:51pm EDT
The kitty seems to have human brain... has it read my kitty poems yet.
Kathryn E. Sep 22, 2008, 12:12am EDT
Looks part Siamese with his bone structure and sleek frame. Kiities are just so feline. Mine are waiting for me now....

A kitty always seems to liven things up around the house. Foxy is adorable too!
Heidianna "Coriander" T. Sep 22, 2008, 9:37am EDT
Awww, what a cute companion your son will have!
Kimberly Ripley Sep 22, 2008, 10:34am EDT
Adorable! (The kitty, too!)
Wilma M. Sep 22, 2008, 10:46am EDT
Loved your pictures. I'm sure the kitty will be busy keeping 2 college boys in line!
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Sep 22, 2008, 10:52am EDT
Your title says it all Alison. B-Dawg is very lucky to have such a great and cute companion to join him on his new adventure. He'll never be lonely for sure. I just love your photos.

Thanks so much for posting this to
my group

Cute shots!
Verie Sandborg Sep 22, 2008, 12:02pm EDT
Irresistible. Looking at these delightful photos, I remember our cat Belle who left us on September 24, 1992.
Marianne M. Sep 22, 2008, 6:00pm EDT
Sweet photos, Alison! There's just something so irresistible about a kitty, isn't there?!

Awww! Sweet photos. So cute. I love B Dawg's new kitty. :)
JustiN T. Sep 22, 2008, 6:55pm EDT
We've got a cat here that's a nutball. One's first impression is that he's affectionate, but really he's possessive. He has to be in any room where people are and keeps doing the head-butting/scent-marking thing to everyone and everything in the room.
Hilary O. Sep 22, 2008, 6:59pm EDT
AWW Great photo Essay. I know what you mean about kittens. They are so much fun. I am currently fostering 4. I love to watch them explore and play. They are so amazing.
denise e Sep 22, 2008, 8:21pm EDT
looks like some investigating is going on
Aimee "I Love Points" K. Sep 22, 2008, 9:35pm EDT
Great Photo! Thanks for sharing!
Sheila Deeth Sep 22, 2008, 10:33pm EDT
I see what you mean about my blue-hair son looking like him. They're not allowed pets in his college dorms, but he think he might move out next year so he can have one.
Toni V. Sep 22, 2008, 11:31pm EDT
Oh how cute. That's great that he can take the kitty with him.
I love black cats Alison........great pictures............
sea gull l. Sep 23, 2008, 7:19am EDT
just on time too
we are invited for rosh hashana to a woman with cats and my son said, oh no, i dont like cats
i said of course you do, you just dont know it yet!
better to take a cat to college than a dog like i did..
i hope the cat will not be overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle
what lucky cats your cats are to have such nice human friends
thanks for sharing
adorable tony with us!
Kay M. Sep 23, 2008, 1:08pm EDT
Very cute shots!

Thank you for posting this to Hit Me With Your Best Shots
Sharon P. Sep 23, 2008, 5:12pm EDT
Reminds me of my Ebony Bast. She was black. B Dawg will have good company.
Awwww! It's so nice that he gets to take kitty with him.
necee t. Sep 26, 2008, 12:01am EDT
ooh Alison, what a sweet photo essay... B-Dawg is lucky to be able to bring Tony to college... nothing like a smarty cat...
all your pics are very lovely... Bless you...

Your pictures are adorable. Although I am allergic to cats, I love cat pictures. Felines have a lot of character and attitude and it shows in their every move. I hope that he keeps those boys in line.
William Dotani Sep 30, 2008, 12:23pm EDT
Terrific photo essay. I hope your son has a kitty litter box at school.
Alison H. Sep 30, 2008, 12:59pm EDT
