“When I grow up I mean to be
A Lion large and fierce to see.
I'll mew so loud that Cook in fright
Will give me all the cream in sight.
And anyone who dares to say
'Poor Puss' to me will rue the day.
Then having swallowed him I'll creep
Into the Guest Room Bed to sleep.”
― Oliver Herford, The Kitten's Garden of Verses

I'll take them all!!!
ReplyDeleteThey're yours! (That was easy.) I can't wait for you to meet them!
DeleteOhh, look at the little babies!
ReplyDeleteI was jealous of your baby birds, but this kind of makes up for it.
DeleteHow perfect! Leo kittens!
ReplyDeleteYes! I should name one of them Leo! I don't know which ones are boys yet, though.
DeleteSo cute. Does Mommy have a scarlet letter on her someplace?
ReplyDeleteHa! She came to me nameless so I named her after Nathaniel Hawthorne's proud heroine who got knocked up but never said by whom. I doubt the name will stick! Someone will re-name her Fluffy or something.
Deleteoh so precious! i sure wish i could adopt them all to be barn kitties. sadly, my pups are a bit too exuberant...
ReplyDeleteYeah, our pups are a bit much right now, too. Hester Prynne & family are confined to their own room.
DeleteWell, as I am allergic to kitty cats, I will happily enjoy them from this side of the screen.
ReplyDeleteThat's the best way to enjoy a cat if you're allergic to it. They do make a product for cats to ingest that renders their saliva (the offensive allergy-causing thing) neutral, in case you change your mind, and want me to mail you a couple of kittens in October.
DeleteHow sweet, how cute. Look at that little outstretched paw. You will have lots of photos ops in the upcoming weeks.
ReplyDeleteOh I know! I took dozens of pics today but most of them were bad. These wiggly little guys are kind of hard to photograph!
DeleteCongrats on the new litter! What a sweet photo. You will have many more photo ops in the coming days. Lucky! Hope mama is doing well.
ReplyDeleteI plan to take photos that the shelter can use to help get them adopted more quickly. Tough job, huh? Mama has taken to motherhood very quickly.
DeleteAbsolutely precious!! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara! They are mighty sweet.
DeleteKittens!!!
ReplyDelete:) You probably need another cat pretty soon.
DeleteLove it! Good thing I'm not there or I would want them all :) and I do have a soft spot for the name Hester!!
ReplyDeleteIf they were all girls I could name the whole batch after your siblings!
DeleteCute & cuddle-some kittens ! Congratulations to Hester Prynne. Did she need any help during delivery or did she deliver on her own ?
ReplyDeleteRR: She needed no help. She actually purred through it most of the time, with just an occasional growl when things got tough:
DeletepurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrGROWLpurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ha Ha :)
DeleteOh sweet little darlings! What a lovely sight to see. Thanks for sharing the wee ones.
ReplyDeleteThey ARE lovely kittens! and I promise to share more.
ReplyDeleteWe don't need to see Foster-Mama-Cat's face to know she's smiling and purring over them.
ReplyDeleteAh, you are so right. I had a bunch of pics with her face showing, but this was the clearest shot of the babies & you can tell how relaxed mama is w/out actually seeing her face. She purrs the whole time.
