You must’ve sensed I was about to start nagging you for Butters pics. :)

Oh, I love him. What a life! Comfy chair, fireplace. :D ❤️

Oh my goodness - what a cute baby!! I love the pics - helps me live the kitten life vicariously.

Blissful is right! That smile, that sprawl, he knows he’s home.

He fell sound asleep with his chin resting on the hard granite countertop yesterday as I held him on my lap while working from home. How is this even comfortable? 😸

His daddy spent time putting together this race track for him last night. Darn thing has a bunch of uncooperative interlocking parts that required dousing with dabs of dish soap to make them all go together. Luckily he has a patient daddy.

The other evening I couldn't find him, but happened upon him inside the toy basket, where he had removed just enough of the toys to make a little nest for himself.

That is awesome! I always show Mr Jinx these updates, too. 😄

Jinx, got any NOC pics to share? 😻

Oh, now you did it! BRB .... 😂

Oh be still my heart. He is so precious 😍

You can kinda see how small he is here...

And the look of utter surprise at being accosted by Tonto, who has quickly become his bestie. (Well, if you can call someone who sniffs your butt a bestie.)

OMG, omg, omg. The cuteness!!!! The absolute perfection of a kitten. Thank you for sharing. Print that first pic! :D (Love seeing glimpses of your home, btw. Beautiful!)

He loves his bedroom blankie (he has a living room blankie, too, and a third in the den):

The other morning, I was having coffee in bed and heard a bathroom drawer open. Since DH had already left, it kind of freaked me out. I should’ve known ... this striped stinker was opening cabinets and drawers and crawled behind one. When he saw me, he started crying to be rescued:

That butt-sniffing pic! His expression 😂

Butters really is a cutie. Mischievous too apparently by the looks of the pic of him in the cabinet.

So two things - Who are the best enablers on the entire planet?! Huh!? Oh yea, oh yea, oh yea,

And, love the way the track complements your carpet.

What a sweetheart. I'm so glad he's settled right in and found his forever home.

Oh boy - I don’t know if I can go the rest of my life without getting another kitten. I asked DH if he would ever want to get another kitten. He said sure....and a puppy....

So cute! He is quite tiny, isn't he? I wonder if he'll grow into those feet. His markings are beautiful.

I just finished assembling one of those floor to ceiling towers for our two. It was a Christmas present for them, but also for me as I would like to order a new slipcover for the sofa. They've completely destroyed the old one, and I've been told that the best way to get them to stop destroying furniture is to have very tall scratchers. I can't help but notice that in your pictures you are flaunting not just one, but two furniture arms that appear to be completely scratch free. Do you have a secret?

Butters' markings make him look like he is smiling, especially in that first picture.

Oh my! Catnip? J/k. What a sweet, sweet face.

Omg, Butters is just adorable. The first picture is the definition of nirvana.

Jinx, love your cutie’s pics.

Butters is such a cutie pie.

Butters is adorable! So glad he fit into the family so easily!

Thank you all so much! And yes, this group excels at enabling (but I wouldn't want it any other way)!

Jinx, thank you for the adorable NOC pics! He truly makes himself at home, doesn't he! 😹 The pic of him in the drawer is hilarious! Like he's saying, "Hey! Look what I can do! Oh ... wait... GET ME OUT!!!" Ha!

Daisy, the scratches abound in our house, but they're on the backs of sofas and all over the rugs. My dining room Persian has so many clawed areas, and Butters has shown a propensity for being yet another horizontal scratcher who has started in on my library rug already. Keeping nails trimmed helps some, as does having a number of scratching post options, but they still definitely manage to go to town in other parts of the house with the claw action.

Oh well. I still love em.

All this fuss over a new ....

OH My what a CUTIE PIE Kitten!!!!!!

Butters is a heartbreaker!

I am so happy you have a new furbaby!

I think that first photo of Butters is my 2nd favorite cat photo ever. (My #1 is one of my former cats).

What a cutie Butters is! He knows he's safe in his forever home with that wonderful stretched out cat thing!

Thanks for the pics and thanks to Jinx and kitty as well. These pictures melt my heart!

No picture of my two because they don't deserve it.

That is a pristine scratching pole that they got for Christmas last year. This year they got coal. This is in a "pass-thru" room so it's very hard to catch them in the act.

Oh my, bpath. I'd be so upset to find that! Makes me appreciate the little snags here and there. Well, if not appreciate then at least realize it could be worse. We did just find a new shredded spot on one of the rugs upstairs today. 😒

Oh, there’s worse. Some time back I took the slipcovers off the living room chairs to wash. Well, those chairs will never be seen without slip covers again. They slipped up inside the covers to scratch the upholstery, on the arm it is down to the wood. I don’t dare reupholster because they will do the same! The sofa and DH’s chair are leather, I guess I will have to go with leather from now on.

Good thing they are so cute.

Can I have him, please?? Now that's my kind of cat!

While downloading pictures I found this one of Raven. It's time to betroth Butters & Raven, don't you think? They'll need a king sized bed though.

As this moment Raven is under the covers on my bed.

I so wanted a cat seeing your photos of adorable Butters! Then I saw the shredded sofa photos, LOL. We will some day get a cat but our current dogs are not cat-friendly. Way in the future (since I expect my dogs to live another 15 years, yes I am an optimist since they are 14) I will get a dog that likes cats so I can have both.

Today I caught this bunch doing a Tabby Train. Or maybe a Kitty Conga. Whatever it is, they're lined up from very old in front to "just on this earth a few short months thus far" in back.

What a fabulous cat pad - my cats would be jealous.

I wanted this to be a pretty little seating area, with a lovely kilim bench and maybe a table with a lamp. Obviously, their comfort took precedence over my silly decorating ideas. 😸

Ha, the cat tower I purchased and assembled this week is sitting empty. Meanwhile I taped the the cardboard box it came in to a couple of others leftover from Christmas and it's like they died and went to heaven.

He looks as happy about your decision as you are. So much happiness and cuteness.

I actually thought this post would be about Orange butters, garlic butters, flavored butters!

I am so cooking focused!

Bumblebeez, I was thinking the same thing. LOL. But instead some feline cuteness -- which is fine by me. I have one dog who is no longer cat friendly or I would add one or two to our household. Someday.....

Lascatx, don't worry about the cat being around an unfriendly dog, cats are good at teaching dogs to like & most of all, respect them. :)
