Precious Belle Adora

A little too much sugar for you?

Our landscape here is all powdered sugar. I couldn't help myself.

There is a story behind all this sweetness, though. Years ago I had another black & white kitten, every inch as sweet and entertaining and snuggly as this one. My friend Diane wanted to name her Precious. I resisted.

The senior cat at that time was an elegant, aloof tuxedo cat named Isadora.

I compromised by naming the kitten Precious Daphne Adora, to be called Daphne.

Thus, Precious Belle Adora, to be called Belle.

Boo is settling down. I actually caught her kissing Belle.

Not enough sugar for you? Try Flickr Hive Mind: kitten.

[Hmm. Maybe that should be Precious Adora Belle? You know, to sound more like ... Nevermind.]

Belle & Boo

A storm came in the night, bringing snow and cold (deep cold) to our valley. When I opened the shutters for Belle this morning, she peered out, yanked her head back, then cautiously stepped to the window to see this changed world.

Do you think Boo has forgiven me the new kitten yet?

I think not.
