Just kidding. Our cat had kittens! We're hoping her brother isn't the father, because that would be just... terrible, but they sure are cute. She (and her brother) has a siamese look/pattern, but these kittens don't. Which gives me hope. I love that girl above; her nose is half brown. Some of the others are like that too.
There are six: All have stripes, even the black one. Two are gray and white (one lighter gray than the other) and three are the brownish-stripe you see here. Each of them is unique, though, because one is all brown-striped (above photo, far right, shaking his head and looking freaky), one has white toe-tips (above photo, far left), and one has mostly white toes, but a few brown toes, randomly. I would like to take a closer picture, but I haven't. The bottom pads of her feet are brown, not pink like the other white-footed ones.
I thought we'd lost the kittens, because after giving the girls the go-ahead to begin touching them, they disappeared. I assumed Chrissy had moved them, but eventually she was around too much for me to be comfortable. I figured if she was still nursing them, she'd not be underfoot all the time.
But then the girls found them, quite grown, under a pallet of wood pellets. After a day of mishandling them, they moved again, under the porch. Now they're old enough that Chrissy couldn't keep them in one place if she wanted.
But they eat a lot, so we will be saying goodbye, soon, I hope. Two are spoken for.
Including this one, shockingly:
Yikes!

Ah, cute. Too bad I LOVE kittens and HATE cats!
Oh my goodness, what precious kittens! I have been reading your blog a bit because I love how you are so self sufficient and eat so much clean food, etc. However, from your description of the weather in your entries, I doubt you live near me. We've been wanting a little girl kitten. We have a 2 year old male cat (neutered), but want him to have a friend, and I've read that he'd most readily accept a young female cat.
I hope you can find good homes for all of them!
hey! another annie! :)
actually, i love the one with the blue eyes. it's slightly wacky but so pretty!
i love cats. i wish you could mail me one. i don't think they'd like that very much.
Oh my, those kittens are precious! I want to play with them all. :)
