There should have definitely been a cuteness warning on this thread.

Okay, no, but seriously, that kitten is beyond adorable. I think I've now decided that one day I must have a smoke Egyptian Mau. I've been reading a lot about the breed lately and feel that, when the time is right, a Mau would make an excellent addition to my family. Of course, that won't be for years down the road (unless some sort of miracle happens), but I have never been so smitten by a breed or by a color before. And, good things come to those who wait, right?
Your smoke kitten is just stunning. And, he looks like he's got some serious attitude for you as well. He just looks like he's a ton of fun and has a quirky, silly personality. I hope he does well for you in the show ring this fall. And, please, please...please, keep us updated on his progress.
