    You wonder what they were doing to her that she felt the need to put the bitey on someone? Not being held properly or ???

    Ya know, I’ve seen MANY kittens and cats pass through the shelter on their way to their new furrever homes and very, very few would ever to think to bite someone without a reason. I have only been bitten once in over two years and it was pretty much my fault.

    I think Faith is the picture of innocence! Srsly! LOL

    seriously, big grown up people afraid of a 1 pound kitten? ::SIGH:: – well, we remember somefing about KC being “wild” too when she was teeny tiny. It must be a tough a** tortie thing!!

    Who could think that cute face could put on the bitey!

    We don’t believe it, not for a minute…….look at that face!! Someone was at fault, and it wasn’t Faith!!!

    Is she biting now that she is back at home or not?

    Faith, you are so adorable. We wonder what happened at the shelter to make you bite when you had never bitten before.

    I cannot tell a lie (after all, I was George Washington a week or so ago…), but I too, helped myself to a couple human bites when I was a baby kit. I just had to test them out to be surely they were really good (and they were, and are)… so I am sure Faith was just doing a little taste-test to check you out.

    I likes to bite, too. It’s fun.

  10. 10 Eric and Flynn 24 February 2008 at 1:20 pm

    Oh surely not. Such a sweet little innocent face.
    We are glad Missy’s eye is looking so much better.

    What a beauty! She just was telling them she wanted to go home. It was really smart of her.

    never – i don’t believe it! x

    We figure it was just a scam Faith pulled to get back here. She is the cuddliest, purriest, sweetest little thing ever. The last kitten you would expect to bite anyone. And the shelter people were all so loving and sweet, I don’t believe any of them provoked her.
    Truth is, they were getting her out to be adopted when she bit.
    Remember the notorious yellow-dot KC, who terrorized the LA Shelter until Karen C. grabbed her. Personally, I think KC coached Faith.

  14. 14 The Taylor CatSSSSS 24 February 2008 at 2:02 pm

    ML: I agree with you. I think KC coached Faith about how to get back to you! Can’t really blame her! Such a funny label! I love it!

    The Tough *ss Torties Association now has a blog!

    http://toughasstortiesassociation.blogspot.com/

    It is a work in progress, but any Torties are welcome!

  15. 15 The Taylor CatSSSSS 24 February 2008 at 2:12 pm

    I found this info on the web. Maybe we should share it with the shelter:

    “Teething kittens need to bite. Just like infants, kittens go through the teething process. However, they go through it much sooner and their baby teeth are replaced by adult teeth. Most kittens start teething between three and six months. Teething helps to relieve the pressure and discomfort associated with the growth of new larger teeth.”

    Must have fallen off of another cat’s crate…

  17. 17 Fat Eric 24 February 2008 at 2:38 pm

    Hee hee hee. Love the expression…who? me?

    Would love to have heard the conversation between you and the shelter people when you went to pick her up. Have they been in contact since to find out whether or not you have been savaged yet?

    Is KC being a good big sister to Faith?

  18. 18 Hot(M)BC 24 February 2008 at 3:14 pm

    I’s terryfied!!! heeeeeeeeeehehehe
    Well, I wouldn’t pik Faith up anyways. Faith don’t look furry skeery tho. Srsly.hehehe
    Purrrrrrs,
    Sanjee

    hehheh. That face is TOO innocent. I know all about torties from Cousin Mollie and I love ‘em anyway! Maybe it’s because they have no inhibitions about saying what’s on their mind…
    Faith is a sweetie and we’re glad Missy Blue Eyes is OK.

  20. 20 Name: Mr. Hendrix 24 February 2008 at 4:21 pm

    Perhaps Faith has an evil alter ego. There is no way that sweet face is dangerous. If not an evil alter, she must’ve been scared or pushed by a bean who didn’t pay attention to her warning signs so she felt she had to bite. Cats and kittens don’t bite without reason.

  21. 21 Honey P. Sunshine 24 February 2008 at 4:37 pm

    no!

  22. 22 Christine and FAZ 24 February 2008 at 5:01 pm

    Really. Does she really bite, she looks so sweet? Must have had a good reason. FAZ

  23. 23 Jimmy Joe 24 February 2008 at 5:42 pm

    Hahaha, Faith is a very clever young tortie, isn’t she?
    Your buddy, Jimmy Joe

  24. 24 Mickey 24 February 2008 at 7:04 pm

    Imagine,little you scaring all those BIG beans! Hahahahahaha!!!!!
    Purrs Mickey

  25. 25 muffinmidi 24 February 2008 at 7:51 pm

    Faith is a perfect name for that
    little kitten.I’m so glad she’s back home with you.She probably planned it that way…..

  26. 26 Cheysuli and gemini 24 February 2008 at 8:03 pm

    Be proud little Faith. Be proud! Attitude is everything and I believe in your case it’s tortitude!

  27. 27 Spooker 24 February 2008 at 8:25 pm

    Oh, Faith honey, you are such a cutie pa-tootie, I think you were only putting the bitey on ‘cuz KC coached you that’s how to get what you want ~ back home with Mommy ML!!!
    You are a sly little devil, and I just LOVE ya for it!!!

    Growls & Hisses,
    Auntie Spooker

  28. 28 Vincent and Mike 24 February 2008 at 8:31 pm

    We’re sure Faith would not put the bitey on anyone unless they deserved it. We want to hear Faith’s side of da story.

  29. 29 Lux 24 February 2008 at 10:19 pm

    Don’t baby kitties just naturally bit and scratch – playing? I know *I did!

    What a beautiful face she has!

  30. 30 Jewelgirl 24 February 2008 at 11:40 pm

    Okay, kitties don’t bite
    usually unless they feel
    they’re threatened.
    Something doesn’t seem
    right here… This
    picture is adorable, I
    luv all the markings on
    her fur. I know you’ll
    give her lots of TLC!

  31. 31 Hot(M)BC 25 February 2008 at 12:11 am

    *shakes head* No. comment.
    Oh, except fanks for joining the Carnival of the Cats this week!
    Purrrrrrs,
    Mini (you’re my 54th treat, Faith! woo!)

  32. 32 ML 25 February 2008 at 12:56 am

    Well, I’m still with the theory KC coached little Faith. When they curl up together, you cannot tell which is which.

    You could have heard a pin drop in the shelter when I stuck my hand in Faith’s cage…. and she mewed and started licking my hand. Hee hee.

    (had to delete the comment above, if I could just spell…)

  33. 33 Forty Paws 25 February 2008 at 1:30 am

    Heh heh. Faith is furry smart.

  34. 34 Lisa 25 February 2008 at 2:54 am

    She was saying ‘MOMMY! YOU CAME BACK FOR ME! THANK YOU THANK YOU! HERE ARE SOME HAPPY KISSES!”

  35. 35 Anonymous 25 February 2008 at 3:43 am

    There is just not enough pictures of you Missy. I love to see your blue eyes. I am just so thankful that your eye healed. Couldn’t stand it if you were hurting.

    oohhh – scary little fluffball!

  37. 37 michico*Adan 25 February 2008 at 8:06 am

    What is that mean???
    What??

  38. 38 Diamond Emerald-Eyes 25 February 2008 at 5:50 pm

    Pee Ess: I have gived you an Inspired Blog Award for all the hard work you have done with the kittens and with Ms. Faith and Missy and all.

    I also supposed to tell you we are having dental week at House Panthers and that since Miss Faith is having some tooth problems, you might find the information useful.

  39. 39 Scooby, Shaggy & Scout 25 February 2008 at 10:07 pm

    Never again, we bet!
    You are a doll!

  40. 40 Junior 25 February 2008 at 11:04 pm

    IF there were bites…they had to be love bites!

  41. 41 The Furry Kids 26 February 2008 at 5:28 pm

    I definitely think she wanted to live with you, ML, and that was the best way she could think of to get back you.
    Good job, Faith!!

    Love,
    Tazo

  42. 42 Anita 28 February 2008 at 10:31 pm

    Muahahahahahaha! You are an authentic gatorrista. I hope that you join to my feline world domination!

    MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
