Kira the flying cat

My Himalayan kitten Kira is growing in leaps and bounds. She leaps and bounds around a lot too. I call her Kira the flying cat. She flys across the bed and touches down on my prone, unsuspecting body.

The flying bed pounce is a standard kitty prank. It's hot-wired into their brains while they're still in the womb. Experienced cat owners are not surprised but still run the risk of sudden heart failure. Her timing is impeccable.

At 4 months old, Kira is cuddly, playful, bitey (she's teething) and eager to learn. Her baby meow is a tiny squeak. Very endearing. Here she is getting her first taste of wind. Oh my gosh, what was THAT?






P.S. Yes, she's sitting on my car but the car ISN'T moving. Kira doesn't set a paw outdoors without a bodyguard. We were just looking for a better "table top" when a sudden gust changed her cameo from one of sweet kitty pose to abject terror. Cute huh?

Besides, the garden was way to interesting to give us a good shot. Kira kept sticking her nose in the potted plants and showing us her derriere. To get your own Himalayan kitty, check out Kitty Babies.
