Is it possible for a kitten to be any cuter?

This is Benny - 3 months old on Sunday.

Yup very cute. We had toyed with the idea of getting a cat into out household, to have a companion for our dog. But we could not stand the smell of the cats pee.

Cute little kitty :)

I clicked on the picture, my dogs went nuts and dived at the monitor. I now need a new monitor.

Here's a heads up. If you let your cat out as soon as its had its first jab and the booster then it'll never pee in the house again. I have a 3.5 year old cat as well who's not once done anything in the house in the three years he's been here.

Yup, but we had a sad experience back then. Initially the cat we wanted to have was a baby with 2 siblings and her mother, all moving in temporarily with our daughter.
The mother was an outdoor cat, the baby just 5 months old, when we found the mother poisoned and with a kicked-in rip-cage just outside of our house. After that we didn't let the little one outside. The 2 siblings were already given away and the mom was initially supposed to go with our daughter. So after her death, we let the little one go with her when she moved to her new place. That sad incident plus him peeing all over the place was the reason we let him go.

That's terrible. I'd easily murder anyone I saw do something like that to an animal. Horrible. Just horrible.

I can see how that experience would put you off having another pet. Such a shame :(

Oh if I got hold of that person, I would ...! He/She would never be able to walk again. If someone would try to hit my dog while I am out with him, I would loose myself. My dog is part of my family, he's my best bud and I would do anything to protect him. Not that he wouldn't be able to protect himself...

Thanks man, whatever Jackson is a mix of, it looks great. He is a rescued street dog from Hungary. We got him from the shelter when he was 4 months old. Now he is 4.5 yrs.
Vets and dog coaches think that there might be a Husky and a white Swizz Sheppard in him. He's not aggressive, but can stand his ground and let people know that he is there.
He is also sometimes VERY stubborn. With 62 cm shoulder height and his loud bark or sometimes a deep howl, some people cross the street when we approach.   :D

lol my doggie is so cute, loving and friendly, but anybody comes near the house and she sounds like a big aggressive (and pissed off) dog!!   :o

She's not as white these days though.
