ReplyDeleteteeny tiny little one!
ReplyDeleteAwww, so precious and I stayed in bed until 7:45. Really sleeping in late for me.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Awww Monday. ♥♥♥
yep- you got that right! happy Snooze Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting baby pussycat photos. They make my day.
ReplyDeleteI want to hold that kitty. Please give that kitty a hug for me.
ReplyDeleteI've had days where I feel like that tuckered out kitty.
ReplyDeletePrecious wee thing.
ReplyDeleteYes, it clearly was one of those Mondays, and I wish I could have/would have stayed in bed. Sophie our elder cat was napping in her favorite spot on the love seat this evening when Tiggy decided that she wanted that specific spot (not next to it or nearby where there was plenty of room), so she turned around and sat on Sophie, sending a very miffed Sophie to the other end of the cushion. I've never seen Tiggy do that before, she is usually such a sweetheart, but it sure wasn't very nice!
