I caught them about two weeks ago, but only just got my digital camera working again. So here’s a pic of a grumpy mom cat and her three babies.

The orange and white one is the boldest, and I can touch him now without him freaking out, and the more white one. The little mostly black one is very shy and hides behind mom most of the time.
Aren’t they adorable? 🙂

Yes they are! Are you sure orange-and-white isn’t an adoptee? Have you decided on names yet?

As much as I’d like to keep one(or more) I really can’t right now. I have five cats, and they would all hate to see another addition to the family. So they are available to good homes.
I’ve been calling the orange and white one Oscar Wilde, on the assumption that he’s a boy. The more white kitten is ‘Funny Face’, and the shy little black one, which I am assuming is female, is as yet nameless. I’m open to suggestions, but I don’t know their genders yet.

I love them! The creamsicle one reminds me of my Sunny, who passed away recently. So where did this nice little family come from?

Awww so cute! My brother got two little girl kitties a while back that look just like the two black ones. I wanted him to name them Momo and Mimi but he wouldn’t ☹ Named them Chloe and Cleo instead.
I miss fostering kittens! Of course…every single foster ended up in my house or that of someone in my family…I have a hard time giving them up.

They are adorable! Are you keeping them all? I don’t thinkI 'd be able to give them up.

_squeals_
I want the one with the tiny white Hitler mustache!
I have a horrible weakness for black and white kitties. Particularly tuxedo kitties.
I just got a kitten in October, though, and I think 2 in my apartment is a comfortable arrangement…mine are strictly indoor kitties.
_sighs anyway with longing for baby kitty_

That’s what I think, too. Once he clues in that people exist to feed and worship the cat, he’s going to be Lord and Master of his domain. Maybe I should put the ad up that way.
Domain wanted. 😃

Neighbors who are both clients of mine feed outdoor kitties, and we’ve been trying to get everyone fixed, but this particular mom cat has been difficult, since she kept having litters we couldn’t find and not bringing them around with her until they were old enough to be hard to catch.

Another unwed mother. I blame hip-hop.
