Cute kitteh pics! (No, really!)
A neighborhood Momcat had her litter in my basement -- this has happened repreatedly over the years -- I guess the address is on the kitteh "suckers" list. :P She had them in a ceramic pot -- yes, in a large, dirty pot.



Mom is a black DSH, and clearly the Daddy-o was a tabby



They are just three weeks old today. They have gone haltingly mobile -- like furry Weebles, tipping over a lot, exposing little bellies that need kisses badly.



No idea of sexes yet. They were kitteh blobs just last Friday and now seem to have erupted in personality almost overnight.



Have found great homes for the kids -- still trying to find if someone in the neighborhood "owns" Momcat, if not, hopefully can find a new home for her (after spaying). I would keep them all if I had the $$$ and room -- I am full up with 5 (including another Momcat I took in). It will delightful to have them around for at least a little while. :)

Will update with more cute pics as they grow!

1. Oh my goodness! SQUEEEEE!
I found my boys when they were just two weeks old so I am very familiar with little blobs like this. SO CUTE, my heart just broke in a million pieces.

4. They really ARE little blobs...
at that point! :D It was all about the breakfast bar and cat piles for them for those first few weeks.

And they are insanely cute.

6. Now my guy is nearly 16 (his brother died almost 6 years ago) and he's a big fat blob!
A blob I love more than I could ever express. :loveya:

8. Several of my guys are blob cats.
And they are heading into 15 year range. One, Jack, has one eye, and looks like a sumo wrestler but is the sweetest, most gentle cat you could ever meet.

We really are nothing without them! :hi:

14. Skinny, chubby, I love em all.
But I love my Frankie best of all. He's the sweetest most affectionate creature of any species that I've ever met. He's purring on my lap as I write this.

5. I really don't know what...
the two darker ones are going to end up looking like. At first I though they were going to be black cats, but they have a lot of stripping in their undercoats and are more smoky colored than true black. And one has a small white spot on their belly and a lot of white hairs on their front paws. :shrug:

The little tabbies are classic looking with stripes and spots galore!

7. The little pink mouths were killing me!
And their teeny tiny little claws that I know I am going to become intimately familiar with. :D

10. Oooh, and those widdle round heads!
It's not fair that kitties have the cutest offspring on the planet. I mean, I thought my two human babies were darn cute, and they are gorgeous children, if I do say so :), but, man ... nothing can compete with kittens for cuteness. :loveya:

22. My friend Peter...
showed up yesterday and unloaded a 10 minute rant abouy how shitty his day was and how much he hated the corporate landscape he is forced to work in.

I pulled him over to my computer and forced him to look at kitteh pics for a few minutes -- I told him he needed the soul-healing power of The Kittehs! :D

I always start my day at LOLCats page -- gets me in a good mood. :hi:

34. I am willing to bet your local humane society ---
needs fosters for pregnant/new cat moms. The SPCA here always needs folks to care for litters. The hard part for you will be letting them go. :cry: :hi:

36. I've let go alot in my life. I'm sure I could do that. I just cannot afford to foster right now. I
will have to wait till my job situation stabilizes before I decide to do good works that will cost money. I also want to foster child in Africa.

24. I suspect as much. :D
I saw where if a hobo found a house with a "kind lady" (someone who would give the hoboes food) they would draw the face of a cat somewhere on the property as a notice to other hoboes.

The "kind lady" sign on my house must be HUGE. :D Everybody shows up there eventually -- racoons, skunks, oppossums, pregnant cats, lost birds -- it is a regular menagerie at my house -- and I love it!

Kitteh suckers RULE! :hi:

18. Thank you.
IMO, this is the cutest picture of all:

I love the paw on the head. They are probably wrestling and fighting with each other all the time now, right? :loveya:

27. Yes they are!
Edited on Wed Apr-29-09 10:28 AM by Hell Hath No Fury
I noticed the squabbling starting the past few days -- all of a sudden it's like they hate each other -- lots of pushing, lots of batting, lots of sitting on heads, lots of angry, tiny squealing.

One is getting the brunt of it -- he's like the kid in the class everyone picks on because he smells funy, :( He has been getting a little bit of extra "love" from The Big Hand that appears from nowhere to give finger-tip belly rubs. :)

28. I've ot some great homes lined up --
they are all people I know are "Cat Whores" -- 100% devoted to their kittehs. Two of the people recently lost older and sick kittehs they adored, and the other already has one that is treated like a feline Princess.

These are going to be very lucky kittehs! :hi:

33. Awwww!
And it's obvious that you're a great kitty caretaker - anyone who puts "owns" in quotation marks is cool with me. :)

I'm so glad that the mother found you and that they will all have good homes and happy lives full of love.
