Nicknames

Xander has several. The first was given to him by his 'auntie' who rescued him and led him to us: The Orange Menace...OM for short.

Oh, but then when he's sweet....well then, he's still a sweet little baby kitteh and that's when he becomes: 'My Little Smoochie'. Don't ask me where that came from...I just started calling him that one day. When I took the following pictures, LoML declared he was being 'SubSmoochie'. (That's the subwoofer he's sitting on.)

While he's still growing rapidly, he's in a round phase...I swear he's not as fat as this picture makes him look! (He's so fluffy!!!!) (Sorry. Inside joke. Despicable Me reference.)
