We trapped them and had them all fixed; there were 2 boys and 2 girls.<br /><br />As they grew up, one of them got HUGE--big for a cat, particularly big compared to the rest of the litter, which are very small cats. The huge one (creatively named "Big Kitten") also had a more coarse face; we assumed for years that was one of the males. But earlier this year I had to trap it again and take it to the vet to have an injury checked out, and turns out the enormous, coarse-looking one is actually female. <br /><br />But I really don't think this one qualifies as a "kitty." She is definitely a CAT. Unless she's an elephant.Galadrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03383321455657803304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-56203719979825476092010-04-27T15:46:00.976-07:002010-04-27T15:46:00.976-07:00Galadriel - Don't you know my neighbors had a ...Galadriel - Don't you know my neighbors had a big cat they named, Puppy. It really fit. Weird.<br /><br />Tracey - Thank you! She is very glamorous now while she eats dead squirrels.<br /><br />Decca - You know, almost everyone that meets Jada for the first time thinks she's a dude. Perhaps because we don't dress her up in frilly pinkness like her previous owner did.<br /><br />She came with this atrocious florescent pink collar and leash as if to say, "NO, dude, I'm a girl." I guess I understand why they did it, but I still would rather people think my dog is a dude then that I am a douchebag for buying the florescent pink collar.<br /><br />Shameful.<br /><br />Also, all cats are kitties and all kitties are girls.<br /><br />Done and done.<br /><br />Evil Lina - Right? Ridiculous for a gift. You can't be surreptitiously measuring dog necks. That's weird. So, let me know if you try out this pattern update!<br /><br />Sue - I saw your bag - HOTNESS. And nice reuse, too. I tend to follow instructions to the T the first time around, but yeah, some of these have been toughies. Try out my trash bag pattern and see what you think. I'd love to get some real honest feedback. No, really.<br /><br />And come back next month when we'll have a choice of patterns :)FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-32633450079042691852010-04-27T10:04:07.317-07:002010-04-27T10:04:07.317-07:00I ditched this month's project in favor of the...I ditched this month's project in favor of the OYW kid's messenger bag: http://bit.ly/a3oqXG<br /><br />Will also finish the OYW petite diaper tote for a friend by the end of the month. Will blog that soon ... made some modifications to that one too.<br /><br />I love this book but it does require a bit of customization and, um, not always following the instructions.

I was all set to do the sew along this month for some friends' dogs since I don't have one of my own, but short of breaking into their house and measuring their dogs' necks I didn't see how to do it.Lina Thomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738524559071985395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-54609192717999103142010-04-26T14:31:03.845-07:002010-04-26T14:31:03.845-07:00Aw, Jada looks so proud of her new, non-scuzzy col...Aw, Jada looks so proud of her new, non-scuzzy collar made with love by her dog mom. And I see nothing wrong with referring to all dogs as puppies.<br /><br />I've noticed recently that I approach all unknown dogs as male, and all unknown cats as female. So I'll see someone walking their dog and say something like "oh, he's so handsome." "Umm...she's a female." Oh. And I'll look out the window at a new feral cat and think "oh, she's got nice markings." I must be wrong at least half of the time, but I still do it.Deccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515274049604839002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-51098226169241754892010-04-25T09:35:39.327-07:002010-04-25T09:35:39.327-07:00Your dog is absolutely precious.

Or, if so inclined, "large hooved puppy." I hesitate to call the felines "puppy" of any variety, though.
