Your wish is my command...

"Hello, Shantell...can I come out and play...Mamma is busy right now...hurry before she notices I'm missing."   bear_rolleyes

Apricotkitten2.jpg

"Oh...me too, me too...don't forget me!!!"   Hurry hurry....

(seriously...this is TWO different kittens...I can barely tell them "apart)

Playfulkittens.jpg

Little babies starting to play.  You can see them turning into mini predators...pouncing on each other AND momma Skippy's feet.  (Which is where the other two little hooligans were the entire time I was doing these pictures.)

"Oooh...what's this big thing we can hide in...isn't this fun!!!  Let's stay in here, Marmalade (little orange kitten) and attack the others when they come back...or take a nap."

They are growing so fast.  They really aren't very big...they still fit in the palm of my hand.  Tomorrow I'm going to find a smaller litterbox and start litterbox training...it's time already.   They can't quite get in the one I have...it's too tall.  I need a shallower one.

Where's my little Tigerlily?

She and the other little apricot colored kitten were busy terrorizing their mother.   bear_grin   They were on the other side of the umbrella literally chewing on her feet.  I tried several times to get pictures of them but they were all little furry butts, feet and tails flying around.  I tell you, these kittens were little spazettas yesterday.

P.S.  Tigerlily has little smudges of orange showing through on her.   It looks likes she rubbed up against Skippy and some of her orange fur has rubbed off....like paint.  bear_original

That's it..... I'm DRIVING all the way across the country to get Tigerlily! She's MINE!!!!!  bear_wub  bear_wub
Sorry, Brenda, I saw her first.... where is that post... I'll prove it! :crackup: By the time I get there she'll be 8 weeks old and ready to go! Start giving her rides in your car, Shantell, so she'll be used to it! I bet there's a bear show or two along the way I could stop at... then I could write the trip off, sell a few bears, pay my expenses...... yup, got it all planned out! bear_laugh
She is just the sweetest thing.... and with orange patches???? I'm even more in love! bear_wub  bear_wub

Hey Shantell... I was just noticing a resemblance in Tigerlily's face and Oopa's face (the bear in Shantell's avatar). Hmmm..... I have the bear... must have the kitty! bear_grin  bear_grin  bear_grin

FunnyMax.jpgDearest Shantell,  bear_flower
You do realize, don't you, how hard it is for me not to jump in my car and drive like a maniac down to your house to scoop up all those kittens and bring them home?!!!!  You're absolutely killing me with these pictures.  I guess this falls under the heading......be careful what you wish for. bear_wacko They're all adorable!!


Warmest bear hugs,  :hug:

That picture of Max just cracks me up!!!

You know, Daphne...with the price of gas these days...$3.36/gal (what I paid last week) you could fly cheaper.  When we moved to Connecticut in 2000, we flew our cats (2) on the plane with us...in soft carriers...in the cabin.  They did fine...we slightly sedated them so they just pretty much slept the whole time.  Now...with one of the kittens (who sleeps all the time anyway)...well you get where I'm going... bear_original bear_original

Now, Aleta dear...you know where to find me!!!

I'd keep them all if I could...they are so sweet.  I just adore each one...the little furballs.

Hugs,

Oh so sweet! I would also scoop up one of those sweeties but unfortunately, gas here is $1.21/litre or approx. $4.84/gallon so it would be cheaper to hire a litter carried by 4 hunky guys than it would be to drive!!!! bear_ermm  :crackup:

Shantell  they are adorable you made me feel emontionally sad. These cuties brought back memories,  I'll share my story, remembering mine (Kitty )exactly the same color and that I found in a trash can. 5  years ago.He would sleep with me and grew to be very lovable. He grew and I learned alot from him. I had never had a cat before. But he liked going hunting at night as he got older. One night he went next door to check on thier birds,which they would put inside at night.
They threw him over my fence knowing I had dogs, they got him.My son and I ran as fast as I could to get to the back when we heard a cat  scream. My on picked him up and gave him to me. he was still alive.He licked my chick and died in my arms. And I swore never to get attach to a kitty again. I love them though very much as well as my dogs.
You are very lucky if you don't have anyone to hurt them.and many wonderful memories to share  :hug:  bear_wub to your beautiful kitten.

Aleta your MAx is beautiful bear_wub  :hug:  and surprised me when I was scrolling I expected the kittens :crackup: He looks like a very very good guard cat,with that expression he should be in a cat magazine I'll trade him for one of my guard dogs. Just Kidding! He is just beautiful.  Mary

Oh Mary,   bear_cry   bear_cry

That is such a terribly sad story.  What terrible people to do that...GRRRRRRRRR.

These kittens are actually siblings of Aleta's Max.  She adopted Max from me last spring along with his 3 littermates that her son and daughter now have.  I was VERY lucky to have found wonderful homes for them with Aleta and her family.

I hope to be equally as lucky with these little bundles of energy and then get their mother in for her "attitude adjustment"...which as of about an hour ago she desperately needs.   bear_angry   bear_angry 

I introduced them today to some kitten food...well Missy Skippy thinks it's for HER.  She actually pushed them out of the way and ate ALL of it as they were trying to get some for themselves.  They also don't understand the litterbox...they just play in it...silly kitties.   I just keep tossing them in it and saying...kitties go poo here...not on the floor.  bear_original bear_original

Once they've actually poohed, you can place that in the litterbox, and they'll catch on quickly.   :crackup:  Skipita!!!  That's for your babies to try  :crackup:

They're positively adorable...each one such sweethearts  bear_wub  But I must admit, the bright ginger kitty and of course Miss Tigerlily are very eyecatching.  I've never seen a dark tabby with orange splashes before ~ gorgeous !!  And very unique  bear_thumb   Daphne, I'm sure she'd have your two wheatens whipped into shape and grovelling at her little paws in no time  bear_happy

Cheryl....I love your logic there!!!  Hmmm.....  four hunky guys  bear_laugh

Funny thing, Debbie...I did JUST that and sprinkled a wee bit of litter in one corner from Skippy's litterbox...they've been a lot more interested in it ever since.   :crackup:   :crackup:   They'll figure it out.  I also think Skippy was checking it out last night so maybe she's "helping"...in her weird way. 

I've gone and started calling them little names...I try not to do that because it only makes it harder to let them go...I'm in BIG trouble now.

Tigerlily

Marmalade

Scooter - this one's back legs are weaker and he can't quite stand up on them as well as the other...they kind of sprawl out like a younger kittens...doesn't help when his siblings pounce on him all the time either... :crackup:  so he scoots a lot.  I've been taking him out by himself and letting him wander a bit.

The Twins -- two kittens that looks so much alike I can hardly tell them apart except one is a crybaby...wants me to pick him up all the time.  I haven't quite settle on individual names for them yet.
