Yes, this is your new boyfriend. Be prepared to fall in love. His full name is Porter Washington Mayfield. You can call him Pork Chop if you like. Because yesterday was Presidents Day, we thought it would be nice for him to have a presidential middle name.
He's a loving little fellow with lots of purrs to give. There's something about his doughy gaze that reminds me of dear little Wendell J Hopps.
Last night Sue, Jean ( Sue's sister) and I gathered at Kim's for a kitten naming session. All the kittens have been officially named. (Whew, finally!) It wasn't easy, but we feel good about all our choices. All this week, we will introduce the rest of the Mayfield Six.
Porter is such a serious little guy. Soon he'll learn that he need not worry any longer because to be an IBK is to be very blessed. Little P.W. Mayfield has worked his magic on me as has Fergus before him. Two down and four to go. Oh, the excitement of it all!
ReplyDeleteI'm so psyched about the new litter of kitters...I can't wait to meet them all. I'm purring already...
ReplyDeleteMeowy Hugs,
Robin
Oh, I think I might die from the cuteness! Can't wait to meet them all!!
ReplyDeleteWant to nom a Pork Chop! (Or at least snorgle him! LOL!)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet the rest of the Mayfield mob!
Fergus, and now Porter. What charmers! I can hardly wait to see the Rest of the Gang!
ReplyDeletepurrrrrrrrr!
I want heeeeem! I already have a kitty boyfriend, but who could turn down that "I hear every word you are saying" look? I REALLY wish I was closer to you.
ReplyDeleteAch! He is criminally adorable! (And his abbreviated name Pork chop is awesome!)
ReplyDeleteWhat huge cuteness factor! Oh, little Porter - you are the living end! Hugs and scritches! Can't wait to see all the other IBKs
ReplyDeleteAwwwww...I think I'd have to call him Mr. President, though!
ReplyDeleteYes! Mr. President!
ReplyDeleteYes, he is! (My new boyfriend,I mean.) Oh gee, I just keep thinking my two self-absorbed elegant punky spoiled girls need a *tiny brother* to even things out, I really really do....but (big sigh) yep, we're too far away too. You folks are the BEST namer-of-kittens ever......Pork Chop (heheheee)
ReplyDeleteAnon and Sue,,
ReplyDeleteYou can call him "Mr. President",, but PLEASE don't call him "W".
Awww. Hi there, Porter the presidential tabby! *scritches*
ReplyDeleteI'm getting curious about the last name-choosing part of things myself, now. How do you decide? Mayfield's perfect, in my admittedly biased opinion; it already belongs to the itty bitties, so of course I'm biased toward it!
Chanter.. I don't know.. Mayfield just popped into my head somehow and it stuck. It just seemed like a very pleasant name, and when we tired it with the first names that we assigned to the kittens, it just seemed to work with all of them. It just felt right.
ReplyDeleteHello Pork Chop - you are enchanting, with your lovely thoughtful eyes!
ReplyDeleteQuoth Laurie: You can call him "Mr. President",, but PLEASE don't call him "W".
ReplyDeleteOf course not! I love kittens and would never do that, especially not to an IBKC kitten.
Though I have to say that I can't think of a single government that wouldn't be improved by replacing all the incumbents with kittens.
Napping and playtime would become national priorities in all countries and there's no way that you can call government spending on catnip, toys, and treats "waste."
Hee... Fergus is the one I'd call "W"... cause he has one on his forehead instead of the "normal" M :)
ReplyDeleteI've forward links of my new boyfriend to my friends & family. I'm sure they will think he is as adorable as I do :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for taking the time to post the pictures. Between fostering & your beautiful art work you have a lot on your pate... your blog really brightens my day :-)
Beautiful eyes and such a strong chin! He looks like a kitten destined for greatness - greatness in whatever new home he lands in.
ReplyDeletePork Chop is such a serious, thoughtful youngster.
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious he is going to be guilty of knocking over his fans with a head tilt.......
[[[[[[THUD]]]]]
see? what did I tell you?
See, if I was girl kitten I'd be dating both Porter and Wendell forever!
