"I will create a topic," she said, "at some point tomorrow"... I obviously don't know the meaning of the word 'tomorrow', but here's the topic! Magnus - an adorable, filled-to-the-brim-with-personality kitten, who is the offspring of a Calico/mixie and an OS/Nausicaa Squirrel. He apparently doesn't like other catz (he hated Lucille, which seemed fair enough, as she hated him right back lol), and isn't too sure sometimes about the camera (that'd be his Oshie personality), but provided he's distracted enough, he's okay with it. He LOVES to play fetch. He was bringing me the yarn ball and the red/blue checkered ball and wriggling for me to throw them again. He doesn't get the concept of treats yet - he thought it was another toy for him to play with He didn't seem to like the hoop, though. Whether he objected to the colour, the trick, or the fact it stopped me petting him, I don't know! As you can see, he's still in his clumsy kitten phase, rolling and falling over everywhere. Honestly, this cat is a blessing. All hail to the Petz Genetic Fairies who made him! (The title is also CatCreature's fault - she called him 'precious', and now I can't get the song Zira's "My Lullaby" from Lion King II: Simba's Pride out of my head. Nuka *settling Kovu to sleep*: Sleep, you little termite *sees Vitani glaring at him* I-I mean, precious little thing!)

Someday when you're big and strong...you will be a king! That part works too. x'DD He's awesome enough to be just that!
He's so cuuuute! xD I love his face in the top-left of the last bunch of pictures!! I didn't know, or missed that he had an Oshie personality!! That's so cute too, haha! And all those wide-eyed pictures...ahhh!
Thank you for sharing his adorableness with us!! xD

So here's some (just under half) of the absolute ton of pictures I took of Magnus today, so prepare for a very long post! Some regular fussing, first, just to ensure that he knew how pleased I was to play with him: Then I decided to take him to explore other scenes, and picked the Snow Scene first. He didn't care about the snow, but thought the coal was a good toy to play with. Lucille demanded to come out and play (surprisingly, she's actually very good at sledding - took it all the way across the screen and back again before she fell off - I didn't even notice at first, I just saw the blur of her disappearing down off the bottom of the screen ), but Magnus still didn't like her, although in that second pic of them, he's actually doing the Oshie cower at the same time as he's glaring at her I also have no idea what he's sitting and staring up at. He seemed to get stuck that way? Although he sorted himself out after a bit, so maybe he was just contemplating the birds flying overhead and wishing Lucille would go the same way... He started to shiver after a bit, so I took him back to the toy closet for some hot chocolate . . . but maybe it's as hot for him as it is here, because he decided it was better to play with it, rather than drink it...? I let him run round for a bit, tried him on a cushion to see if he was tired. He tried to yawn while Oshie-cowering, which didn't quite work And he's now graduated to skidding on his back, rather than falling on his front... Then I decided we should go play dress-up. And Magnus LOVES it! Er, well, most of it! Once he got over the shock of it, the Uncle Sam top hat was a big no-no! The mohawk was better, and he loved the fez (fez's are cool!): I tried him in the witch's hat, and he almost promptly turned his head round to wash his shoulder "I said witch's cat, Magnus, not witch's owl!" The beard looked a bit odd, and he didn't like the clown/party hat, although it did cause him to give me my first ever back-wall-scratching cat pose!!! I am ridiculously thrilled over it - all of my catz up to now have only ever scratched the carry case. Next was glasses, which made him look very smart and professor-like: Then I tried the wizard costume, but he didn't like that at all. Apparently he prefers being a witch instead... He seemed to like the giraffe costume at first, but then it just annoyed him. And he hated the lion costume! The turban hat and one of the other party hats went down well: But the REAL winner was the blue collar I put on him: (I tried another blue one, but he obviously hated that one. Maybe it wasn't blue enough?)

The witch's hat is so perfect for a cat named Magnus x3 Dress up always is a blast with petz!

Took Magnus to the beach last night. He wasn't overall pleased with the beach ball - I think it was too big for him to play with comfortably, but the frisbee was mostly okay. Took him back to the living room and brought Donna out. CatCreature , I'm afraid it doesn't look as though love will be on the cards for them. They didn't hate each other, but they weren't exactly creating hearts, either! (Donna happened to be close enough that she was in the background when I started fussing Magnus. She went from "Yay, my turn!" to "Wait, what?" to disappointment, to a huffy "Fine, be that way!" ^^I let them have the brush to play with, and Donna was particularly enamored. As you can see in that last pic, she couldn't take her eyes off it! I also let them have the paint tin for a bit. Magnus loved it, and was the first one to end up painting himself. What did surprise me was that coating himself in paint seemed to make him more confident and he stopped flinching at the camera... Donna didn't seem to know what to make of it at first, but then decided she doesn't think paint's good for cats, and took it away from him

Oooh, they -are- actually friends though! The fact that they interact positively like this is something only friends do! True, they may not fall in love, but their relationship is better than hate or tolerance. I have some Petz who literally don't do any positive or negative interactions at all, so I dub those relationships as just tolerance. xD But you have a level above that, so that's good!! They sure are pretty together!! I love how different they look, yet they have the matching Calico patches! I love these two!! <3 EDIT: Then again you said she was looking at the brush...are you sure? They look like they're interacting with each other. Well, either way...I still love 'em! xDD

Well, either way...I still love 'em! xDD Haha, yeah - she was sort of interacting with Magnus (head tilting, etc), but her gaze was very firmly fixed on the brush below her almost the entire time. Rather like doing something with someone, and seeing they keep sneaking glances at what they'd rather be doing xD

I was away over the weekend, so couldn't spend any time with Magnus, so made up for it by playing fetch with him for ages last night. He's so adorable, it's unreal. I still have a hard time believing that he actually likes fetch... He's still not quite sure how to handle treats. I was shaking them above his head, trying to see if he'd do any tricks, and he got mad and swatted at me He seems to like Rabbax - or, at least, he had positive interactions with her, more so than Donna (yowling together, that kind of mirror-interaction where they sit and groom/scratch). And Lucille is just a contrary madam. Magnus hates her, and half the time the feeling is mutual, but she keeps demanding to come out and play with him...

Nothing but useless gushing here, but he's still so adorable!! xD He's getting so big too! There are so many great pictures too...he's just so funny! I keep forgetting about his Oshie personality too, because aside from the worried eyes, he actually looks fairly calm in most of these! I love the pictures of him with the yarn balls where he's wiggling with wide eyes...I love when they do that!! xD
He looks less like a kitten and more like a cat...he's getting big so fast!

CatCreature, useless gushing is fine - I do quite a lot of that over him myself! He's growing up! I keep meaning to check what age he's at on the brainslider but keep forgetting. And he's very calm. The Oshie personality only seems to come out when I'm taking pictures . . . and even then, it's just a brief cower, not an outright fleeing and screaming in terror as some do. The rest of the time, he's running around playfully, into everything, very easy-going (er, except when it comes to Lucille...). He actually does quite a lot of wiggling like that - not just over the yarn ball, but over whatever he's playing fetch with (last night, he kept swapping toys whenever he got fed up with one [rofl]). Playing fetch is very exciting lol.

I'm not sure I really need to state this, but obviously Magnus' attempt at settling down with Asa didn't work. It seems, instead, that he's picked up a bit of genetics from his grandparents - his mother is a polysquid kit, and it seems Magnus is following in their pawprints by taking on a whole harem of ladies. To find these ladies, I swapped him into a different profile, and it seemed to trigger a growth spurt, as he suddenly looked appreciably taller when he came out. Unfortunately, his eyes didn't appear to grow with him (or they just shrunk and he didn't change), so Magnus looks a tad odd to me right now but I still love him anyway. I had him out with Donna all morning. (She's an extremely trick-y cat. The last pic in this lot underneath was her suddenly doing these HUGE frog/bunny leaps. And not long after that, she stood up and just randomly threw herself into a forward roll ) As you can see, they do really like each other. Donna just doesn't seem to want kittens at the moment (since Magnus obviously has no problem with them ) Unfortunately for her, we have this little thing called PetzA... CatCreature, I present . . . Noble! He's a Calico personality, and the sweetest little thing. I love his eye colour! Then we have Jester's little boy, Trally. He's also a Calico personality, and inherited Magnus' trait of not being able to keep on his paws lol. To break up the monotony of all these black calico-looking kits, we have Whisper's little girl, Lianna! She - fairly obviously - is an Orange Shorthair personality, but she's also very eager for attention. She was following the hand all over the screen. As you can see, Whisper is a helicopter-mum, and a particularly obnoxious one, at that. I had to put her energy brainslider down to zero to get her to sleep so I could get some uninterrupted pics of Lianna, because she just would not leave the poor kit alone. And - last but certainly not least - we have Coon's little girl, Blitzen! She's a Bengal personality, and also (as mentioned in the Random Pix topic) very eager for attention. Coon was also a helicopter-mum, but not quite as bad as Whisper, so I didn't have to resort to making her go to sleep! Blitzen didn't want to open her eyes at first; seems she wasn't eager to see the big bad world

LOL Donna just wasn't gonna commit. xDDD But awww Noble is so cuuute! <3 I love that smooth looking black fur, and those fabulous Calico patches did pass, so yay!! <3 And wow, I also love Blitzen!! She looks a lot like her dad in shape!! Aww!! And I can see by a string of pictures there that she was doing that goofy little walk back and forth. (Hard to describe, but you saw it, so you know what I mean xDD) That always makes me laugh...random little kitties! It's fun too that you have a bunch of kittens from him, they can all play together! (...They'll probably all hate each other, if you have my luck xDDD) And ah, looks like Magnus' pupil size is going to stay smaller! I had the exact opposite happen to me with some puppies I raised naturally. They got big 'ol pupils now. xDD

I love golden eyes! And that little blue oshie! <3 my heart
I was hoping you'd catch me up on the lore here because I don't think I followed it too closely and I'm confused who are all these kittens ^^; are these the kittens from the various love interests of Magnus?
