2024 edition SIClet I am finally the proud human slave of a standard issue cat.
I would like for the entire standard issue cat community to formally meet my new baby. She’s a teeny tiny little kitten, but definitely old enough to move to her new home.

She’s so smol

She’s not just smol. She’s very smol, especially for her age.
Here I have her held up next to one of her litter mates. The litter mate is on track size-wise for a kitten of its age. Lizzie-Jo Grace is not.

She might be smol but she's more fuzzy and adorable!

My smol cat is much more pleasant to have sitting in my lap, but I love them both so I appreciate it when either one does

What a beautiful little Princess Elizabeth. May her reign be long and filled with purrs, zoomies, food stealing and general chaos.

She’s already started exploring the house, much to the chagrin of my other cat.

I love her big head on her little body! She is adorable

She’s been compared to the LOL Surprise line of dolls. Google if you aren’t familiar, but it’s definitely a good comparison. Just think, last month she was ALL head on a teeny tiny little body. She’s a little more balanced now, but very tiny and cute.

She's beautiful, but please, take that bell off her collar. It can damage her hearing.

Bell cannot damage hearing look it up. Way too low a sound to harm I thought so and looked it up it does not damage ears. That is too low in Tone frequency and in volume.
“But, after a while, your cat’s brain will screen out the tinkling of their bell. This may make them less aware of similar sounds too, and reduce their responsiveness to some noises as a result.”
“This can prevent them from detecting predators of cats, outside”e
Cats are part of the circle of life in vast majority of places replacing in part predators driven off by man’s being there.
Only isolated places not having predators or very limited areas where endangered animals are located.

I like having a tracking device on my pets. It’s quite helpful for me to know where they are in my house as long they are moving. My other cat has figured out how to trigger her bell less often.

Nothing standard about this kitty!

I’m starting to wonder if she ended up with the luxury floof upgrade?

She’s so cute I’m going to start crying

u/Blonde_Vampire_1984 Nov 15 '24
Don’t worry. You aren’t the first victim. Back when she was even smoller I could hold her in the palm of my hand.

u/implala79 Nov 15 '24
It was the same with my boy. He’s huge now enjoy her smallness while you can!

Ok? I plan on posting more pictures in the next few weeks if you need any more aggressive feelings?

That's a very cute Smile!
Please do remove the bell though. How would you feel with bells on your shoes? And you can't remove them, even at night? Also they do not help at all with warning birds if your boss decides to roam outside: cats learn how to hunt without triggering the sound (but that's a lot of work so they don't do it for regular walking)
