SQUEEEEEE! Aww, I love little tabbies!
I will not skwee. I will not skwee. I will not skwee.
I have to skwee.
SKWEEEEEEEEEEKITTIES!
Aw, I miss kitties. All our cats have grown up – though one of ours has, at least, retained the full use of her kitten-like playfulness.
Very cute.
I repeat what I said in an earlier Kitten thread:Adopting strays gets one major Karma goodness.
Someday when your soul is being weighed by Anubis against a feather, don’t be suprised if Bast sneaks a paw in to turn the scales in your favor.
Cool.
One of my neighbors has a bottle fed kitty and he is just the friendliest kitty cat ever. May yours be the same. They’re adorable.
The adopted, abandoned, bottle fed critter that was Baby Cuervo , but is now a fully-growed up, completely spoiled big boy.
And he purrs a greeting at Henry and Dolly, but mostly at Henry because they share the incredible orange-osity. But also at Dolly, because she’s a girly cat. Unless it turns out the other way around.
When our cat Kudifer developed mastitis after having her litter, we ended up bottle feeding the four babies. We only kept one of the litter. Ted is 10 now, but he still thinks mr.stretch is his mom. There is something special about bottle-fed kitties.
Thank you, pinkfreud, for stepping in to help these babies.
Oh that last picture of kitty staring down the stairs! I just died and went to kitty heaven. The look on his face is just perfect.
Cuervo has turned into one seriously handsome dude.
The bottle-feeding of these little kittles is bringing back fond memories of our first batch of bottle babies. One of the cutest was this sweetie, who weighed seven ounces when we first got her, and who grew into the beautiful ten-pound Brownie (on the right, with her friend Shadow).
SQUEEEEE!
They are cute(and this is coming from a dog person).
Awww! Cute little fuzzers!
Any idea how old they might be?

We just got back from the veterinarian’s office. The vet estimates that Henry is somewhere in the vicinity of four weeks old, and Dolly is probably between two and three weeks. Apparently they came from two different litters. They act like littermates, though: they cuddle together and lick each other, and if one of them is taken out of the nest, the other one starts hollering and trying to find the missing kitty.
The vet doesn’t think Dolly is likely to survive, but we’ll give her as good a chance as we can. She’s very frail and wobbly, but has a lot of oomph for so tiny a creature. Henry has a clean bill of health so far. Blood tests at a later date will let us know whether he’s as healthy as he looks.
Our three dogs are just fascinated by these new arrivals. The dogs lurk around outside the door, listening to the shrill mewing sounds with great eagerness. Since our dogs are all friendly with cats, I expect that they’ll be great playmates once the kittens are big enough to meet them.
Here’s Fozzie Bear, nuzzling his little feline friend Sloopy when Sloopy was a youngster. When we first got Sloopy, she was even smaller than Dolly. Now she is a huge fat thing who loves to sit in laps and snag your clothing.
In the interests of adding to all the squeeing going on, here’s a video that I came across thanks to LJ the other day. A Bottle-feeding Kitten!. May not be safe for work if you are subject to loud squeeing.
pinkfreud, Henry and Dolly are adorable, and Brownie young and old made me grin sappily. Post more pictures soon! And Cuervo certainly grew into a very, very handsome boy, Mr. Bus Guy.
Kitties. Nothing better.
You’re on decent grounds, statistically, assuming that Henry is male because he’s a red tabby. Red tabby males are more common than red tabby females, because pretty much all male cats with the orange gene are red tabbies, but females with the orange gene are split between red tabbies and calicoes/tortoiseshells.
Is Dolly a torbie? I can’t really tell from the picture. If she is, you’ve got even better grounds to assume she’s female- only 1 in 3000 cats with both black and orange coloring are male. Torbies are tortoiseshells with tabby markings. They’re beautiful, in my unbiased opinion as kitty mom of a torbie and white Siamese mix
So glad to see Cuervo grown up into a big handsome cat, MrBusGuy. I remember telling you to photograph him next to a bottle of Cuervo, to show how he’s growing. Pet him for me, please.
Yep, Dolly is a torbie. That is one reason for our assumption that she is female. Love that torbie coloring! We have another torbie, also a bottle-raised adoptee, and she is just gorgeous.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
OK, that’s it. I fell down dead. Stone cold dead, and it’s all your fault. I am typing to you from beyond the grave because that video killed me with cuteness. I hope you’re happy now! 
Oh, dear. All this squeeee-ing woke up Henry.
I guess the worst squeeee-ing was coming from me, when I saw that kitten video posted by Morgyn. What’s in that kitty’s bottle, anyway? Water? Vodka? Whatever it is, Henry wants some.
You guys disgust me. Absolutely revolting, the lot of you. Look at you! Ought to be ashamed of yourselves, falling all over the place over kittens. KITTENS!
What’s the world coming to when people turn into piles of mush over a couple of peep-eyed little furballs? Next thing you know, we’re under the thumb of felines everywhere!
…Too late…
Oh crap, gotta go, the cat’s awake!!
ahem
KITTY!
