Itty Bittyfeb. 11, 1990 - april 4, 1998
Welcome! I am Itty Bitty, a real female Russian Blue cat who now lives on in cyberspace. My online home here is an evolving and expanding place with information, resources, links, a newsletter, and opportunities for cat lovers everywhere to find out about me and to interact and share stories about cats with one another and the entire world.
In the picture above, you see me with my friend Ellie the elephant.
Click on the thumbnail photos below to see newly discovered, artful black and white photos of me when I was less than four months old.

Itty Bitty at age 12 weeks (1990)
In the photograph above, I am seen as a kitten (summer 1990) with my older friend Bast, a.k.a. Bastet, a female Abyssinian.
The above photograph is my human companions' current favorite. It shows me enjoying the afternoon sun and fresh air on the rocks outside of my home on Mt. Helix in the spring of 1991. I used to like to spend time outside but my companions, in order to make sure that I wouldn't wander off chasing a bird or some other small prey, always took care to put on my pretty red harness which was attached to a leash.

About the interactive Itty Bitty the Russian Blue Cat Message Board: In early March 2001 InsideTheWeb.com stopped hosting message boards including Itty Bitty's. Threaded messages that were posted on Itty's board between May 1998 and March 2001 have been saved and may eventually be made accessible here. In the meantime, please visit the archived BeSeen.com Guest Book to read past messages while we search for an appropriate new host to continue the threaded discussions.
