One of my favorite blog posts last year was <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2010/10/26/day-29-puppy-breath/" target="_blank">Puppy Breath.</a>  </strong>I've had the good fortune of whiffing many a puppy's breath throughout my life. If I had to make a list of My Favorite Things, puppy breath would near the top.

&nbsp;

And it's not just me.  It seems as though every dog lover I know flips for puppy breath.

On a tangent:  During my childhood, I had the pleasure of witnessing puppy births.  Our neighbor's Schnauzer gave birth before our eyes.  Twice!

&nbsp;

The only thing I remember about the first birth is my mother's unfortunate meal choice that evening:  Veal Birds.  My sister and I, remarking on the similarities in appearance between the Veal Birds and the afterbirth, rebelled and refused to eat.

&nbsp;

So I have seen puppies at all ages and stages, but I have never seen newborn kittens.  I've marveled at kitties that are <em>weeks</em> old, but never <em>days</em> old.  Until Playdate #18 when my neighbor invited us over for the 3 day-old kitty worshipping.

&nbsp;

And that's when it occurred to me:  <em>Sniff, sniff, sniff.</em>  Kitties don't have distinguishable kitty breath!  So if puppies are known for their "puppy breath", then kitties are known for . . . .
