She's an affectionate and loving little thing.
But when the toys come out, she turns into a tiny, fierce hunter.
And if any human, cat, or kitten come close when she has a toy in her grips,
her eyes dart back and forth, ears are flattened, she tightens her hold and gets all growly.
And we laugh, because it's so ridiculous.
Tiny hunter, you can have your toy.
I think she is Zoubi's sister. To hear those tiny kittens growl over a feather toy is so adorable. And then two seconds later, they purr and purr.
ReplyDeleteAnd the growl, itself, it hilarious!
ReplyDeleteToo adorable! Get that feather, oh great hunter! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat one will definitely keep the house mouse free!
ReplyDeleteHA! Am reminded of Fern Lyttleton.
ReplyDeleteMINE.
Fern's toes were *so* expressive. What a fierce huntress she was! http://www.theittybittykittycommittee.com/2010/04/mine.html
DeleteIt was one of my favourite (of many) IBKC posts.
oh i loved that post. thank you both for the Fern reminders!
DeleteLove little Effie!
ReplyDeleteBacchus used to do that, too. He wasn't even as big as the toy! I always laughed so hard.
ReplyDeleteJust like my dear departed Melanie! We used to call her The Fierce and Mighty Warrior Kitten.
ReplyDeleteSo precious! It's a good thing I can't have more cats in my apt, or Effie would have a new mom. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures, but especially #2. THAT FACE!! Oh my heavens.
ReplyDeletejinx! :D
Deleteoh lord, just LOOK AT her determined mouth in pic #2 ! go, effie, go!
ReplyDeleteMy big old boy, Chai, is the same way. He is the sweetest, lovingest cat I've ever come across but certain toys turn him fierce and growly. He will take you out if you try to take them! It's a little unnerving now but in a kitten it's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteLook at those little claws digging in!
ReplyDeleteHeehee! I love when kittens get all fierce. It's just precious how teeny and ineffective their growls are.
ReplyDeleteToo adorbs! Any chances we could see some video of her and her sister playing?
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is, but Siamese kittens always seem to be the most adorable ones to me (on a scale where they're all adorable, of course). I want to cuddle up Hazel and Effie both SO MUCH! I still haven't gotten over Louie Small.
Little growly kittens are THE BEST!! :)
ReplyDeleteSmall but deadly!!! she is just lovely
