My Kitten: 2-8 weeks

Not book related but I thought I would share some photos of my new kitten Joseph. We've had him for almost three weeks now and having a pet around is lovely.

2 weeks old - eyes not open yet.

 Three weeks.



Four and a half weeks, just after we had chosen him out of the litter as the one we wanted.  He loves to cuddle.




Four and a half weeks



Four and a half weeks.  He hasn't kept his blue eyes, they are greeny-brown now.



Seven weeks - a few days after we brought him home.




Seven weeks.  Our bed is his favourite place to settle for a long sleep.



Eight weeks.  He is at that very cute stage where everything is new and exciting and he wants to play all of the time.


Joseph is definitely not a book fan.  He likes to play in my stacks of books and climb the bookcases, but if I am reading something and not paying him attention, he will attack the book to get it out of his way!

  1. So, so, so, so cute - I love the occasional non-book related post as well. I posted yesterday about my dog who gets along so well with my cat, and I just love those moments where we all take some time to share about personal things we love. Your kitten is so adorable, and I can't wait to see more pictures of him as he continues to grow - I've never had a kitten before! My cat was a stray and I started to take care of him at around a year old - he's fabulous and funny!

  2. Naw he's beautiful! Cats rock! I have a sweet little part burmese cat, Saphie, who loves to eat books. I don't mind having a few teeth marks in my books, I think it makes them look loved :-)

  4. Oh my! He's adorable! He reminds me of my youngest cat, Lily. We found her when she was only weeks old too. And she does the same thing when I'm reading-too cute!

    Have a great day!

  5. @Mummazappa - Joseph likes to chew books too. I would rather him chew them than his other favourite thing to chew, my hand!

    @Playing Librarian - I have a feeling my cat is going to turn out spoiled too :)

  6. That is a cute kitty if I've ever seen one. I just hope he's not going to change into a fat, low-rent murderer like all the other kitties I knew before.

  7. Oh wow! I'm a dog lover myself but he is 100% adorable! I love the progression of the pictures, too!

    And maybe he's just a harsh book critic - you could try reading something a book about cats and see if he reacts the same way. ;)

  8. Ooooo I am in love.

    What a lovely kitten, please share more photos with us as he grows.

    My cats (long since past) did not like it if I read, whilst they sat with me. Made a point of getting in the way!

  9. Awwww...I've been a cat lover my entire life. It's always fun to start with the smallest and watch them grow and develop their dignified personalities :)

  11. Ben - the murderous, haughty side of cats is what I love about them. I won't allow him to become fat thouhgh!

    Lisa - I'll have to try that! I've always been a 100% cat lover but lately I'm coming round to the idea of dogs. When we can afford to actually buy a house with a garden, we will get a puppy.
