Cuteness Alert!!! :0)

As you all know we have decided to keep one of Jada's kittens because we lost thier dad, Juby, recently. We are keeping one of the boys that looks like him. I was taking pictures of him today after he curled up in one of my daughter's blankets with his sister, Jasmine. He is SO SO precious! Anyway, the pics turned out so cute that I just HAD to share!

Oops! Just realized I put this in the wrong forum! Can a MOD please move it to pregnancy and kittens forum for me?

all set He is an absolute cutie-pie!!!

What a sweetie pie.
He really does look like Juby.
Have you named him yet?
Wonderful pictures.

He is so precious! I just want to kiss his dear little face.

I am sorry for your loss of Juby. I must have missed it, if it is ok to ask, what happened to him? He looked so much like my sweet Leo, also passed away. I found him in a parking lot in Kansas City, MO.

I just wrote this up in a pm for someone else who was concerned so I'm just going to paste my response here. It's so difficult to retell this over and over. I cry every time so I hope you don't mind I'm just pasting the same response.

I mentioned it once in a thread a few days ago but it's been hard for me to talk about it. Juby was the kitten we had rescued at 4 weeks old because he'd been abandoned by his momma. He and his littermates were in a barn being attacked by a dog. They were covered in fleas, belly full of worms and just plain pathetic. Anyway, we took Juby and nursed him back to health. He was a very timid and shy boy but he was our spoiled little baby.

I made the mistake of not getting him neutered on schedule. He got Jada pregnant. Then while she was pregnant he was constantly trying to get outside. He'd sometimes escape and we'd catch him. Sometimes he'd escape and we wouldn't find him but he'd come a couple of hours later. Well, a couple of weeks ago (about 1 week after Jada had her babies) he escaped and we couldn't find him. My neighbor found him late that night on the main road close to our home. He'd been run over. Thankfully, he wasn't mangled badly. Just a little blood coming from the mouth but he was dead from internal injuries. I'm crying now just thinking about the pain he must've felt. He was just 11 months old.

We feel very blessed that we have his kittens right now and knew it was only fitting to keep one of his sons. He's going to be a very special little kitty, just like his handsome daddy was. We haven't come up with a name yet as we want it to be special. We are giving him Juby's collar and nametag which we kept. We will engrage little Juby's new name on the backside of it.

So........ that's what happened. I haven't had the heart to post the farewell message to him yet in the "Crossing The Bridge" forum as it makes it feel so permanent. I still watch for him out the window to come home. Wierd, I know. He is dearly missed.

Thank you! We haven't come up with a name yet. We were thinking of just naming him Juby or Little Juby after his dad. But now we're thinking of giving him his own special name and just engraving that on the back of Juby's nametag for him.

We have looked at some websites with cat's names and meanings and found the following that we sort of like...

Ditto - (means "looks like an existing or past cat") - We like this for obvious reasons.

Legacy - Because he's Juby's legacy....

Jagger - (means "A front man") - This would go with our "J" theme we have going with the kitties. AND he WAS the first born so it's fitting. It wouldn't be much of a Juby memory though.

Oh my gosh, how precious!

I'm so terribly sorry to hear about Juby - I love the name Jagger

Those kittens are so cute!!! Sorry to hear about their daddy cat.

awwww they are A-DORABLE!!!
