Meet Gandalf the Mostly White

Wow! My youngest cats are 6 years old and I had forgotten how much energy a kitten has. About the only time he's still is when he's sleeping, so this is what most of my pictures look like.

Using flash stops the action sometimes



Eating with the big guy, Hercules. I missed the shot when they both had their heads in the same bowl.

Passed out after playing soooo hard

   I remember that phase so well!      (I have hundreds of photos of a little blue blur).   Galdalf the Mostly White is quite the young cat now and lookes very athletic when he's awake.       Loving that tuckered out flat on the floor photo, too cute.        

So has he been adopted willingly by your furfamily or have there been some nose swipes and hisses going on to show him who's boss?  It all looks pretty calm there in the feeding zone, at least with Hercules! 

:lol3::lol3::lol3: A bundle of energy! He's adorable, and his black tail is very distinctive.

It's actually going pretty well. Goldy and Cali both growl at him, but they growl at everybody, including each other, so I'm not too concerned about that. They aren't hissing or swatting at him, and he ended up sleeping next to Cali yesterday afternoon. Miss Patchwillow mostly just pushes him off my lap so she can lay there. Iris more or less ignores him. Shareena and Merlin have both been cleaning his ears, and Hercules loves all kittens. :rub:

If you want to know what breed he is, I'm pretty sure it's a cross between a Mexican jumping bean and greased lightning.:dash::blobblue:

          Ever thought of being an advisor for 'What breed is my cat'?    I thought Mouse was a pure bred Russian Blue but suspect I was lied to and he has bits of these varieties in him too. 

I can't imagine a totally white kitty with a black tail--but you have one.  He is precious.

Love it!  

He's a doll.  

I think he may have a bit of diesel in him, too. You can hear his motor all the way across the room. :Red Car:

Oh wow!  He's just divine!   

I really had no intention of getting another cat. Every time I volunteer at the shelter I tell the kitties "I'm sorry, but I just can't take you home with me." Then this little guy showed up. My first thought was that he'd make a wonderful show cat. Then when I went into the kitten room he hopped onto my lap and stayed there. I had a really hard time get a picture of him because I couldn't hold the camera far enough away. I finally had to stand up to dump him off my lap.

The other kittens in the litter are almost as adorable.

          What are they like!      That third photo of on eon top of the box doing 'The next sibling to come out of the carrier is going to be IT' pose, and the 5th one with the black back with white spots putting on the mean face while chewing on the toy crack me up!   I think I'd have been at risk of adopting the whole lot.      How would you choose?      Oh yeh, the one who planted on to your knee and wouldn't get off!   

I'm afraid I would be unable to volunteer at a shelter.  I would want to adopt them all....

One of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen!  I absolutely love the long, skinny black tail!

I know, I always say that, too, I'd end up with dozens of cats at home!

Well, I've volunteered, when I used to live close enough, and I ended up with only one extra cat.,.. so, it can be done!

The one peeking into the carrier seems to be popular. I posted it in Caption This.

I fostered 5 bottle babies last summer. It was hard to let them go, but I managed it. It was just impossible to walk away from this little guy. He's such a clown and still hops on my lap as soon as I sit down.

Other than your little Gandalf the Mostly White, I think I'd fall for that cheeky little guy that's pulling the funny face in the 5th picture.       Do they all have homes now, do you know?  

There's a two-year-old male at our local shelter who's the opposite of Gandalf - all black with a white tail. Unfortunately he was put into the "unadoptable" group last year because he won't make up with humans at all. He may actually be Mogli's littermate, but I doubt it because of the huge difference in personality.

He's adorable

I was at the shelter volunteering today. They've moved the kittens into the room with the adult cats so it's pretty lively in there now. Two more of the kittens have been adopted. There are 4 still looking for their forever homes.
They posted this picture on their FB page.
