Wanna see something cute??

Meet our new kittens


here are the cuties



They were well hidden in the garage until about a week ago when the mother cat started moving them. They are playing outside and have made their home under a bush. Ocassionally they get brought in to be played with and loved. There are 6 all together. Only five can be seen in the photos because the 6th one was nestled in my lap and hard to photograph.

The first pic is the mother cat.

Those kitties are super cute!

Mama cat is beautiful. I can see where her offspring got many of their colorings.

What does the one in your lap look like?

Are you going to keep any of them, or are they all going to good homes?

The one on my lap was grey with white socks. He is the runt. I love him dearly.
We are going to keep all of them. We have 5 kids so they each get to keep one and the runt is mine.

Stupid $@#%@ Nonstandard HTML

Well, I'd like to see the kitties, but the URL doesn't resolve for any browser I've got. Some browsers go into some kind of infinite loop with a perpetual "processing" icon, some toss up an error message, and the remaining ones just show a blank white screen.

The individual JPEG for which Bruce_Daddy entered a separate link doesn't play nicely either -- Trying to download rather than load

http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mis...&.dnm=12b9.jpg

directly lands me with a folder "f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com" on my Desktop, within which is a folder called "ph", within which is a folder called "misstee_dawn", within which is a raw file "detail" which is a blank empty text file.

Tried: iCab, Opera 6, OmniWeb, Mozilla FireFox, Netscape 7, Safari 1.2, Camino, Lynx, Internet Explorer 5.2, and Mozilla X11.

Is yahoo photos using Windows-proprietary programming on their web site or something?

Very cute We fostered kitties one summer and got new batches of fuzzy joy every 8 weeks all season!

I'm currently at limit though. No more animals for us!

A couple of our outdoor cats (farm yard) just had kittens over the last week or so. I hope we get nice colours like yours, the last couple years all we have gotten were Holstein coloured kittens

Well, I got to see most of them this time, then it stopped working on me in mid-browse (couldn't get any more of them to open full-sized after that).

Link ain't working, though I suppose that's a good thing. fizzy would be off in the car in a matter of hours to abscond with a cittin.

Nevermind that she's got work, we already have two cittins and her mother said no more beasts that walk on four legs (I don't think she could teach a cittin to walk on two legs in a matter of hours, but that's just me).

Awww! Cute kitty-witties!
Can I have the one in picture 035? Please? He or she matches my cats! I have a black cat and a black and white cat, so that one would fit right in.

I can't believe you're keeping all of them. Are they going to be outside cats?

BiblioCat the kitty in picture 035 is Oreo. Our youngest has put a claim in on her.


We are going to keep all of them. They are going to be outside cats. We live on an acerage with a lot of out buildings so they have a warm place to sleep in the winter and a place to go in the summer if it gets too hot.


If I could have any of them in the house it would be the runt, but alas, hubby has allergies.

I'm waiting for my shipment, misstee. You can't possibly want to keep them. They're... errr.. gross.

I think looking at little baby kitties might be better than eating chocolate. Maybe.

I have your kitty on my desktop.
Nyyyaaaaaa!

My favorite kitten thing is when they're rough housing and one rears up on it's lil' hind legs with that lil' round belly sticking out and they wave their front paws in the air before crashing down on the head of a sibling.

The live outside? That sounds a bit dangerous. Would you consider having all the cats live inside, at least until the kittens can be weaned?

Awww now I want a kitty! We had to put my 22 year old down a couple of months ago. The little grey one of yours has almost the same markings.

Too sweet. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

I want an orange tabby! I have a cat, but she was already full grown when we got her, so we weren't able to have that cute lil kitty stage. I love her to death but now I want a kitty! bah no I don't.

Yes I do.

My full grown 20 lb cat still does that to the dog while he's trying to sleep. The dog just sighs and rolls over.

Heh, I have kids! They are probably safer outside than inside!

They are well cared for, they aren't just outdoors. We have several out buildings so they have shelter. Before the mom cat had them I prepared a box with an old blanket in it. I put her in it, then I moved it into one of the buildings and took her in there. She had the kittens a few weeks later in the box up on a high shelf. She started to move the kittens a few weeks ago. She would bring them out in the day and either she or sometimes hubby or I would move them back to the box at night. We just recently moved the box down so the kittens could get in and out on thier own. They have started to eat regular cat food. I mix powdered milk for the mom about every other day.

Have fun watching those kitten antics!

Why do kittens look so sad when they are photographed?! They are so cute I think my heart actually skipped a beat.

Ee! Kittenses! They are all just so cute and fluffy and adorable yes they are! I want to hug them and pet them and give them kisses.

Are you sure you want to keep 'em all? I'll take that fluffy orange one off your hands, no questions asked.

There was an incredibly friendly lost cat wandering around, outside. I wanted to take it in, but thought I'd better leave it out... and now it's gone... (sniffle) don't you think I deserve a kitten for compensation?
