Really, there are no words to describe the softness of this little boy.
I consulted a thesaurus, and all words fell short:
Comfortable, cottony, cozy, creamy, cushiony, cushy, delicate, doughy, downy, ductile, easeful, easy, elastic, feathery, fine, flabby, fleecy, fleshy, flexible, flimsy, flocculent, flowing, fluffy, fluid, formless, furry, gelatinous, impressible, limp, malleable, moldable, mushy, pappy, pithy, plastic, pliable, pulpy, quaggy, rounded, satiny, silken, silky, smooth, snug, spongy, squashy, supple, thin, velvety, yielding.
Nope.
He's all of that combined and multiplied by a squillion.
I am just amazed everytime I see his picture how much he looks like Bug...too bad we aren't closer or I would swear they were related. :) Good luck to them and I am sure they will make your parents very happy!
ReplyDeleteNor the bendiness I should imagine.
ReplyDeleteI love Nigel so much. I think he's my favorite Itty Bitty!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo excited for your parents! (Not like I know them or anything, but from reading your blog these past years, you can tell they are great people, and Nigel & Mimsy are clearly great kittens)
ReplyDeleteAwwww .. we wish we could stroke him.
ReplyDeleteWe've made up a noo word to describe him:
Comfloofycuddlesum!
Only ONE squillion?
ReplyDeleteHe's perfection. Perfection times a squillion.
ReplyDeleteI think he might object to being called flimsy and limp though :)
Nothing sweeter than a sleepy kitty... smooches little one!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I could stick my face in that fur...he could be my magical air filter. mmmm!
ReplyDeleteAhaha! I like 'flocculent'. You are right though: it is not nearly cute enough for Nigel.
ReplyDeleteI have a wonderful "throw" that my critters and I like to curl up in. It looks something like Nigel and it's called "Lammie".
ReplyDeleteP.S. That's the name that was on the label bt when I say it I'm sayin "lambie".
ReplyDeleteI think 'floofy' says it all.
ReplyDeleteFloofilicious
ReplyDeleteI think Nigel's what happens when a kitten thinks he's a lamb.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! Softer than a chinchilla, I bet. As I have said before, Nigel is so floofilicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy to see that Nigel has his tail tucked up under his paw. It is very important to hold onto the tail while sleeping, lest it move around on its own and entice mischief. My girls all learned this lesson and now sleep holding onto their tails. Of course, they prefer to use their front paws but Nigel still has a short, stubby little kitten tail which probably does not yet reach to his front paws, regardless of his bendy-ness.
ReplyDeleteScrumptious!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet looking little snugglemuffin! He looks like the negative version of my beloved Mr Floofenshorts (aka Sunspot), who was all black save a couple appearing and disappearing curly white whiskers -- the other whiskers were straight and black.
ReplyDeleteOh, do I want to kiss your little Nigel!
I'd love to play "Where's Nigel?" with a photo of him asleep on a sheepskin pad. I think that would become his version of an invisibility cloak.
ReplyDeleteI like "downy" and "cottony" and "fleecy" of the list your thesaurus provided. Your parents and these kitties are going to have a wonderful life together!
ReplyDeleteGooferfeathery :)
ReplyDeletewhat a tease you are Laurie!
ReplyDeletekind of like eating a delicious cookie in front of a four year old and telling them how 'scrumpdillyishous' it is, but too bad YOU dont have any. :) hee hee
Oh goodness gracious! There are also no words to describe the loveliness of this picture... :) But it certainly makes me happy!!!
ReplyDeleteSQUISHY!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about "To Die For"?
ReplyDeleteflocculent is a delightful word to describe darlin' Nigel
ReplyDeletePLease put up a video of Nigel before he goes, I have to see that cottony-fleecy-floof move around :D
ReplyDeleteI "vote" for flocculent as well.
ReplyDeleteAny Canadians out there remember the Royale kittens? I think Nigel would fit right in.

Who needs goose feather pillows when there's Nigel to snuggle with? I'm officially jealous of your mum and dad, Laurie! :D
ReplyDeleteIf Nigel and Baby Pat from Pitter Pats were to meet, I think the entire universe would melt from the extreme cuteness and floofiness!
ReplyDeleteAwww I just love when they curl up like this, you just want to snuggle right up there with them, he is just the epitomy of fluffiness!!
ReplyDeleteDawn
Kittens like him are so soft that you cannot feel the fur at first when you touch them.
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of my beautiful tabby Benny - sooo cute!
