Let’s end this day on an positive note. According to reader Gayle Ferguson, who is fostering five tiny kittens abandoned by a cruel miscreant, the only male in the lot—named Jerry Coyne—is recovering from illness. Jerry Coyne had a respiratory infection, but now it’s almost gone; and the little guy is, like his namesake, vociferously demanding noms and fusses. Here’s Jerry Coyne’s latest portrait:
Isn’t he lovely? If you’re a kiwi, do consider adopting Jerry Coyne (you have to keep both of his names) or one of the four lovely female tabbies.
Great news … errr, Jerry^2?
But where are you going to get a set of 4 cowboy boots in size 1/2000?
🙂
Isn’t he the cutest thing! His paws look a bit splayed–he doesn’t have snowshoes, does he (polydactylism, I mean)?
Extra toes Would make the cowboy boots more of a problem:-)
They could be custom made out of bumblebee hide.
Hahahaha
O, he IS the Most Darling !
Returned health = what a ( ! scientific ! ) endeavor !
Thank YOU, Mz Ferguson. And, Science !
Again !

I’ll have a closer look but I think it’s just because his toes are very fluffy.
….. and maybe needing to keep his traction on the wood floors? It helps if the nails are trimmed just right.
Awwwww… This is so cute. Has Jerry Coyne been scratching on that door?
I was actually wondering the same thing, but the marks are too wide for kitten claws, I think.

Oh! It’s an image of Jesus, right?
Doesn’t look like a d*g’s butt to me….

Ha ha. It’s paint. I can’t remember how it got there. I was probably testing the colour on the wall and then spilled some.
I was going to suggest the he is not so “healthy” if that is the result of a sneeze.
I have to shout to the world that this kitty is the cutest little thing in the world!
This kitten provokes certain memories… back in the 1990s, we adopted a lovely ginger cat named Theodosius Dobzhansky (aka Dobie)from Mohamed Noor.
I’m assured he bit everyone in the Department of Ecology and Evolution!
Kitteh Coyne looks like he’s the ekitome (epitome) of good health.
You know…it just occurred to me.
What we here call “The Good News” is that a certain adorable ginger tabby with the initials, “J.C.,” has fully recovered from a distressing-but-not-debilitating lung infection.
But what the Christians call “The Good News” is that a certain fatherless (literally!) quasi-human whose initials were also, “J.C.,” died, got zombified (complete with gaping chest wound), and that he’ll make you a zombie, too, if you’ll only eat his flesh and drink his blood.
I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but they seem to be using a dictionary with a decidedly different definition of the word, “good,” than we are — and I don’t think it has quite so much to do with the distinction between cat and human.
Cheers,

“The leading figure in this film…what is it? Jesus Christ? He’s quite clearly a lampoon of the comic messiah himself, our lord John Cleese. Even the initials, J.C., are exactly the same.”
My hovercraft is full of eels!

I had no idea you were so cute. 🙂
When this Jerry starts behaving like Timor, he’ll have earned his name.
Awww, such a cutie!
Gayle–are you really going to be able to give all of them up?
It will be hard! the original plan was that they go to the SPCA
… when they reach 600 grams. That is only a week away now. But I don’t trust the SPCA with my babies. I will take care of them until they are big enough to go to their ‘forever homes’.
If I didn’t live half a planet away, that cat would be mine, NOW.
My thoughts, too!
Whew!
I would move to New Zealand right now if I could just adopt Jerry Coyne.
My heart has melted. That face!
No doubt, he has charm to match his ridiculous cuteness. Oh my little heart.
Thank you Ms Ferguson for your kindness. Like he could star in one of those cat calendars. Keep us posted on Jerry Coyne.
Awwwdorable! And good news!
