A kitten was born in California this week with fur markings that look like they say "I <3 ." or "I Love Dot." What makes that such a big deal? The kitten's mom is named Dottie. Too cute! (Also, hearts on baby animals seem to be a trend: First there was the chihuahua from Japan with a heart-shaped spot on its fur, then the piglet born just this past February with a similar birthmark.)

That's cute. But I thought it said Mivo, which I didn't really understand. I need to go home.

When the kitten becomes a monster cat it will say "Blob blob dot."
Aww, that is fer cute! I want a teenie tiny kitty to hang out with.
Did you know it's supposed to snow on Thursday in Wisconsin? Fucking weather.
@badmutha: Me too. And, me too.
File under: Boy, does that hit the spot!
Also, that's where I live. How do you girls find this shit? I don't even watch my local news.

@Archetype: It was on CNN.com this morning.
i love.. lamp.
This is so fucking dreamy.
@Archetype: CuteOverload?
I needs a tiny kitteh!!
the little boy has a mohawk! attack!
@LadyNo: it's also supposed to snow up here in Boston tonight too. BOOOOOOO.
KITTY. Can has?
@nodoubt9203 (Your vagina's complicated but i still love you): Is it just me or is the phrase "the southland" kind of dorky?
@KittenFluff: @haguenite: Hmmm, well, I don't really watch national news or check out CuteOverload. I guess I'll have to depend on Jez for my cool news bits.
Yay, a happy national news story based in Sacto. And now more news about Arnold's gazillion dollar budget cuts for public education.
Too effing adorable!
It's the Mark of The Cat!!! Run, run, run! Ahhhh.
I am going home to snuggle my own black and white kitteh soon.
@LadyNo:
Please tell me the snow is going to STAY in Wisconsin and not make it to Michigan this time. We had a foot last weekend and I can't take anymore!
Kittenz. I totally love baby kittenz.
I heard that if you look directly into the kitten's heart, you can see your own death. That's what I heard.
OMG. I love little kitteh meows! SO CUTE.
omg my eyes are bleeding rainbows.
eep!!! that is too cute!!!
I wanna curl up in that basket and purr too.
@LadyNo: lalalallalalalalal I can't hear you..... No more snow.
@Lady Skittlehattington, President of the National Marshmall...: I know. I can't help but feel extremely jealous when I leave my sleeping kitties each morning. Especially after they've woken me up at 4am tearing around the house. What a life.
So cute! Want!
Love it.
My dog has a heart-shaped spot.
OMG! One of my cats was born with a heart on his side, too. It's crazy. ([www.cothlamadh.net])
Oh man - this is too cute! Do you suppose their mommy kitty's name changed recently so they could make this story work?
But, in good news, I was looking for fodder for my work blog (pet related) and I found it here! Yay!
WARNING: MY COMMENT MAY BE A CUTE BUZZ KILLER!
Okay, the kitten is adorable, but all I could think about was how my parents would tell us not to touch our cat's kittens. Because they said the kittens would smell like us, and the mom would reject them and/or eat them. But still totally cute! Sorry.
@cargirl86: My boxer does, too. Who knew it could make her famous?
yaaay cuteness overload! must.cuddle.with.kitteh.
aww. so sweet.
@Meg: my parents always told us the same thing, but i never saw it happen. but to this day i always resist touching really leeetle baby animals for that reason.
@MadameX: I know! What the fuck??? I could point to one of his other spots and say "Hey, my dog loves random spots too!"
If only we knew CNN considered markings on pets a news story ...
@Cam/ron: He is NOT dreamy at all. Hurrah for local kittehs!
@cargirl86: MINE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Piglet? And puppy? And kitten? I suspect fraud. Sorry.
morr kittehz plzktx!!!
Still not as cute as my shih-poo. (Okay, I'm biased)
Re: Kitten moms rejecting/eating kittens who are handled - totes not true. I had a stray give birth in my sock drawer a couple of years ago, and ended up having to supplement feed a couple of the babies. She was absolutely fine with it (up to a certain point - if they sounded upset she would get up and meow at me until I gave them back).
But also; EEEEEE! Kitteh! Oh god, I miss my little black and white boys (and my grey and white boy). Damn grad school not letting me bring my kittehs!
I NEED THAT!!
@Archetype: Jesus my cats (at least the two that are bro and sis) have got a major thing about total roughhousing at 430AM. I though it was just my 'tard cats. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
i'm.in.luv.
