Wanted to show off my new little kitten!!!

I am pretty sure he is a boy- but that will get confirmed at the vets tomorrow. We keep going back and forth....cause at first we thought a girl. He's hairy down there so its hard to get a good look and he's also very squirmy.

Any idea what breed you think he might be??? I was told mom is a Persian.....I think he resembles a Himalayan.

He came to us flea infested unfortunately but we were able to use a solution of Dawn/water and get rid of the fleas in one try. Had to pick the buggers out with tweezers.

He really is a sweet little guy and it's been soooo long since I've had the joys of a kitten in my house

Here are some pictures:

Oh yes, he/she is a real cutie. Since he is just about all white, I can only come up with used names such as, Whitey, Snoball, Powder and if a male, Ice would be cute. I'm sure others can come up with better names, Puff is a cute name too.

Well he does have a name already - I guess I neglected to put in the post! WHOOPS!!! His (or her) name is Shalimar. My husband saw some movie a long time ago and he just remembers someone yelling "shalimar" and liked the name. For some reason it kinda matches the kitty.

Dawn/water? Never tried using it. Could you share how much of each for the solution? Thanks!

That is one very precious kitty. I love the slight orange on his/her ears, the stripes on his/her tail and especially the orange on the nose!

It looks to me like he's a flame-pointed cat (some would say Siamese). His colors are just starting to come in, it looks like. That means he will always have those gorgeous blue eyes, too!

Here is a short-hair version of the same coloration, our own beautiful little Flambe.

I did about a 50/50 mix. I started applying at his head and worked my way back that way the fleas couldn't have a chance to hide in his ears/face. The fleas basically got smothered by the solution. It was really gross- they all rose to the top of his fur trying to get away. Some managed to jump off him but didn't get far- they drowned in the tub which also was soapy drowning them. The rest that were on his body were suffocating. Some were still attached to his little body and we literally had to pull them off with the tweezers. It was absolutely disgusting.

Shalimar's ringed tail is so pretty !!

A Himalayan is a colorpointed Persian. He does look like he has Persian in him, and he is pointed allright. Like Mrblanche says, he will get darker (more cream) with age.

I found out about him through my Mother in law. She had found out about them from word of mouth from someone else. They knew the time was coming for one of their cats to be put to sleep..........it had cancer. I think they thought having a kitten before would help ease the pain???? Anyway...........We really weren't looking to get another kitten but she begged us to come look and take one. She really wanted this one (the one I got) for herself......but her husband wanted the one that they ended up taking. So of course when I saw the kitten I couldn't say no. There were 4 kittens in the litter and my family and myself took 3 of them (not sure who got the fourth- that one was already gone). My sister in law and mother in law each took one. They were from a private person- an accidental breeding from what I understood. I got him for free. It is my understanding that the mom is a Persian and I *THINK* dad might have been a siamese. I think that would make sense with the markings on him. He is super sweet and loves to cuddle on me............makes my heart melt.

Here are a few updated pictures of my little Mar-Mar. He is such a cutie and such a sweet sweet boy.

He now antagonizes the other kitties in the house. He is a little devil. As you can see in the pic he learned to get on my kitchen table by scaling the chairs! He was so funny one time after I had trimmed his nails he couldn't get up on the bed because he usually uses his razors to climb the comforter and kept falling. His face was so funny!! Very expressive little guy. I love him lots!!!

He loves to wake me up in the middle of the night with face washes- YUK!!!! I was petting him this morning about 3AM and he started purring up a storm and must have started drooling from all the purring he was doing. He started licking me and it was seriously like he was giving me a bath!

He is very pretty and gets tons of compliments from all who meet him. Hopefully it all doesn't go to his head lol.
