Description
Although he appears rather bigger here, he actually is a very LITTLE kitty-cat-boy
He is turning 3 months tomorrow (b 2 October, the birthday of Gandhi) and is slowly being introduced to other rooms in our house after having spent the first week in quarantine in Christy's bedroom.

my kitten looks kinda like yours except mine is younger with a left blue eye, green right, and is pure white (except she has a gray spot in the shape of a V on her head).

If she's still a young kitten, that gray spot may disappear as she grows older - Ziggy had a gray spot too between the ears, but it's all gone now. It was very cute!

Oh how funny, it's really exactly the same but turned around here.
Ziggy has been locked in my son's room, while Kira (our Maine Coon/ Ragdoll cross) was lying outside the door in the passage, sniffing under the door and occasionally scratching as well.
They have since made contact, but Kira hissed at Ziggy...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yes, I've been there... we had 4-5 days of hell when they finally came into contact.
And not just hissing 
But yes, the first days were terrifying, and me and my mom thought that they would never ever live peacefully together. Also because Cassandra (our mainecoon) is totally unable to fight, she's so cute and funny, she closes her eyes, tugs her head between her shoulders and scratches randomly the air... while Neko is a panther... fast and on the spot. However, now they sleep all cuddled up together
If you need some advice the most important thing is (although it may sound strange): when they come into contact be with them, sit on the floor, and cuddle Kira, not Ziggy. Calm her, Ziggy will be fine, it is Kira who needs to understand that you still are hers. And of course never yell, never hit them if they start fighting... fights look and sound terrifying but in the end they don't really hurt eachother, they need to understand hierarchies, that's why you shouldn't stop them immediately (unless you see it's really going to get bad!).

All completely true - you are quite right.

eheh sorry if I wrote too much and you already knew those things, it's just that Neko and Cassandra are my first cats and everything is new with them, nobody told me those things and I was completely clueless

Introducing the rooms slowly is the right way to do it. Interesting photo, he's not sure about things as per the way he is holding his tail!

Thanks and yes, that is a true observation.
I like your new avatar, btw

Thanks about the avatar. I was surprised how it turned out as I was just messing around with the camera. It's another self-portrait.

very handsome
it looks like he's gonna get a beautifull semi-longcoated tail.
This way he really looks like he has Turkish Angora's bloodlines.
I'm very curious to see him grow up and how he will look like as an adult,
so keep those pic's coming hahahaha

Yes, I'm curious to see how he develops as well. Whatever happens, we are all completely under his snow-white spell and adore this little fluffpackage.
Thank you for your interesting comments

THANK YOU so very much, my kitty-loving friend
Yes - white is not a very popular colour here - our sun is SO dangerous, that it is advised to keep them indoors between 10am and 4pm due to the very real problem of skin cancer.
