Kitten Adoptions: Pictures of Calico Kitten Little Lu

by Brooke

Calico kittens are so cute and little kitten Lu is not exception. Kitten adoptions really make us smile here at Keeping Kittens and Lu's story is one of a kitten getting adopted.

Luci was born in the parking lot of the church/school where my mother teaches. The principal took Luci, her mother, and her siblings into her house temporarily. When the litter was six weeks old, my mother surprised me by asking me if I'd like to go see the kittens.

My adult male cat, Eiri, had recently lost his brother. They were inseparable, and I couldn't stand to see Eiri suffer like that.

We got to the principal's house and I knew Luci, a long-haired calico cutie, was the one for us. We were given a towel to wrap her in and took her home. She cried all the way. I felt so bad about it that I considered taking her back!

Once we got home, Eiri ran to greet me, as always. I gently put Luci down on the floor, and he sniffed her, hissed, and ran away! He was terrified!

This continued for a few days, until I noticed Luci and Eiri playing together. They've been best friends ever since. Late one night, I heard a strange sound. I turned on the light and looked at Luci and Eiri, who had been cuddled up next to me. Luci was "nursing" off of Eiri's neck, and he was grooming her!

Lu (whose full name is Lucielle), when not playing with her "brother", loves to play with the rings that come off of milk jugs. We call her "Ludini" because she is incredibly deft at opening things. Once, I walked into my room and spotted Luci on my bed. Just beside her was a bag of treats. She had opened the drawer in which they're kept, taken the package in her mouth, scurried to my room with them, jumped on the bed, and ate some in peace.

Another time, I noticed a bag of nuts with Luci's teeth marks on the floor of my room. The silver sheen was just like that on the packaging of her kitty treats! Once she'd ripped it open enough to smell it, though, she gave up on that plan.

All in all, Luci is very shy around people, except for me. She defers to any cat she meets (I have two others besides her and Eiri). She and Eiri are equals in their eyes, though, and I hope they'll be together for many years to come!

Thanks Brooke for sharing Lu with us. She is a gorgeous calico kitten and I am so pleased that you were able to adopt her.

Keeping Kittens (and readers!) would love to hear your cute kitten story and see a cute kitten pic.
