Farm Friday: Kitten Update

Geeze Louise they're growing fast.





Holy cow.

And cute?

Please.

They're starting to walk now, as opposed to belly crawling.

You know, that funny brand-new-legs walk that kittens do, one foot at a time, tail pointed straight out behind them, shaking like a junkie.



They're also beginning to groom themselves and even to play a bit.

Also? They're starting to develop personalities. Well, kittenalities, I suppose, if you want to get all technical on me.

Eenie: Thinks outside the box. Literally. Yesterday Miss Kitty and all her babies were in the box, but Eenie was just outside.




Meenie: Not a meanie. A sweetie!




Miney: This joker is a jokester.




Mo: He's my laid-back little dude. Doesn't say much, just sits back and looks at you with those eyes. At two weeks old, he's already heavily contemplated life.




Tiger: Biggest. Furriest. Leader of the band.






I've moved their box into a bigger enclosure so when they're big enough to leave the box they'll have a safe place to play.






I made the move a little sooner than I had planned, b/c when I went to check on them yesterday, I discovered Miss Kitty had moved them. She put them all in a desk drawer. They were all jumbled up in a pile on a bunch of pencils, peering out and saying, "Meow?"



And I said, "Miss Kitty, I've been there, honey. I know there are some days you just want to hide your kids away in a desk drawer or a closet or something, but you just can't do that, darlin'."

And she sighed a very heavy sigh as she watched me place them back in the box.

She's feeling a bit like a factory these days, poor girl.


That's OK.

I know she loves the little parasites....











They'll be ready in 5 1/2 more weeks! Taking orders now.....

Miss Kitty and her babies





All are doing well. Miss Kitty is caring for them thoroughly, cleaning them, nursing them constantly, and in general just being a 24/7 cuddle-bug for them.

The babies just opened their eyes a couple days ago, at about a week.

And just a little housekeeping: a couple readers pointed out that they should really wait till eight weeeks to go to homes instead of the six I had mentioned, so I'll be sure to do that.

Also, please remember that Miss Kitty is a stray. By the time she started getting friendly with us, she was already well along in her pregnancy. I brought her in when it looked like she was getting close to delivery. She will not go out again until we get her spayed. And if anyone knows of someone who would like to have her as a pet, I would love to find her a good home. I'm sure the kittens will go pretty easily, but it's hard finding homes for cats. She is THE sweetest cat I've ever met. Really good, calm, sweet, litter-box trained, petite. If we didn't already have four, I would keep her myself.

And now I will leave you with some final parting cuteness...

Farm Friday: Poppin' Stray

Miss Kitty?

Our front porch stray?

She's about ready to pop.

She first started getting friendly with us about a month and a half ago, and I suspected then that she was "with kitten".

Cats have about a two month gestation, so if I'm right, we could be looking at kittens any day now.





I'd better get knitting....
