Kittens Reunited: A Kitten's Guide to Tracing Long Lost Friends
This week's Kitten's Guide looks at keeping in touch. Do you remember this:


Xena and Kai do. These were the five orange tribbles that we found abandoned on the roadside and brought home with us. But what happened to them after they were re-homed?

Luckily Xena is a keyboard literate kitten (unlike Kai, who thinks he is but tends to type in Polish and look for sites called www.qdsjjdgkczwxyhglfjkl.cxz) So, yesterday when Xena was trawling the InterPet (see below) she discovered Kittens Reunited, a site dedicated to finding long lost friends and tribbles.


And guess who was listed? Target. The tribble with the prominent white circles in his fur. He's the foremost tribble in the top picture. And here he is now, three months later, opening the door:


And here he is again relaxing after what looks like a large meal.


Just to show he's not really fat, here he is looking very lithe as he demonstrates a tribble's guide to sneaking up on humans.


And finally here he is rubbing up against his new human. Note the clever distraction manoeuvre so his tail can sample the contents of the coffee cup - you never know where milk may lurk - with a quick dunk while the human's attention is elsewhere.

Well, not really white per se, but hopefully you know what I mean!

Your icon is AWESOME! My husband just got a pair of doc martens in the mail and both cats have tried to make it home. It's not that he has little feet so much that our cats are just too big.

ICON LOVE!

That was my first cat Cleo. All white, green eyes....and yes, 15 pounds stuffed into a little shoebox. She thought she looked beautiful in it...and she was.

i love ginger kitty's I started my special realationship by reading the marvelous Orlando the Marmalade cat books by Kathleen Hale as a child wonderfull illustrations and such a marvelous cat family, my Mum was called Grace as well(read them and youll understand) My first ginger puss was called Orlando, then my chil;dren named his succesor Tiger, then came Marmaduke who ate the Gerbil ! but himself was a casualty of a drive by at 6 months,My husband insisted that losing 2 cats in one year was too much no more gingers, but guess who picked out the biggest fluffiest and wussiest Ginger at the cats home! MorganGoch or morgie turned out to be the kind of cat who expected to be carried up and down stairs and sat on the fridge waiting for someone to open it so he could scrounge for ham. Sadly he had to pass on to heaven and now although i have a grey a black and white and a white and black ,Lwyd,Commodre fluffypaws3rd and blanco,life aint right without a ginger,maybe its time for orlando mk2 a gap of 22 years is long enough to reuse a good name.now how to break it to the other half?
