Good grief, that Chewbacca just about killed me. How are you ever ever going to be able to give them away?? If it were me, I’d just accept that I now have 6 cats.

That video kills me. I watched it, my kids watched it, and now we all want to watch it again!

Yes, that’s very nearly fatal level of cute there. It looks like the tortie is ready to play, too.

After the medic is done with you, could you send him/her my way?

Don’t send the medic, just send me the tortie!

The one with the white face sure is a camera hog. You should get a video of Mama carrying the cats around. And don’t forget the obligatory kitten-on-a-Roomba vid 🙂

I am prepared to fight **Brynda** for the calico. 🙂

They are so cuuuuuute!

But what if **needscoffee** doesn’t have a Roomba? :eek:

I guess we’ll just have to all chip in and get her (him?) one. It looks like Momma and babies all have medium length hair.

Now that I have seen them in action, I want one even more.

Unfortunately, my big cats are glaring at me from across the room.

Ohhhhh… I would nab that tortie right through the computer screen if I could. Too cute!

I soooo want a pair of kittens, but were waiting out the final days/weeks/months of our 18 year old cat. It’s clear she’s on the final decline (she’s not ill, just sleeping almost all the time, and having to be coaxed to eat) and it would be cruel to stress her with the chaos of kittens.

I hope we can get a calico this time, yours is just too darling.

I did not mention this to my daughter, as she would have search over hell and high water to find a Roomba. But ten minutes ago, one of the orange kittens came riding into the living room on top of a remote-controlled car, with my daughter laughing maniacally behind it while working the remote control. No video, though. I don’t want to encourage her.

You are obviously unable to responsibly handle industrial strength cute. You must hand over the kittens with all speed to those who can. 😉

This is the same kid who tapes a laser pointer to her Red Ryder BB rifle and shoots cans in the back yard.
