Freeeeedooommmmm!

The last of the four kittens went off of the bottle tonight. In the baby bottle sense, not the whiskey sense. ;)

Well, of course he didn't succumb to my cooing and encouraging, my heating up the formula to where it was warm and appealing, trying to get him to drink from the saucer ALL WEEK...no. He randomly started lapping out of another kitten's saucer while I was working on the computer late this afternoon. Such a cat.

No matter-- I'm freeeeee!!!

Happy Caturday!

Well, you knew it was coming. Here are some more pics of the kittens :)

Getting so big and eating wet food and formula from a saucer!

Cuteness close-up. And this has started saving me a lot of time. Phew.

Harassing the bunny, Daisy, who will be properly introduced tomorrow...

More harrassment

Watch out, kitten!

After a feeding
(Yes, I did photoshop myself out of this one- it was bad...very bad...)

And then we had some adventures at RightHand's last weekend:

Curled up together under the bed

Then apart

Cuddle brothers

RightHand with the runt

Lookin' tough so as not to lose his street cred ;)

Sleepin'

Latte inspecting the situation

Gatsby, looking inquisitively at one of the lighter colored kittens

Oh my God so cute!!!

Caught!

Cutie (More explanation of his shaved neck later...)

A little devil on the pillow that is absorbing all of the water in the bowl... sheesh!

Utter chaos = my life :)

And sometimes, but only sometimes, I wish this guy had been around :)

Belated Friday Fotos

And once again, here are my favorites. Go here to pick yours and vote for your favorite.

I certainly do not support the modeling industry, but I thought this picture was awesomely ethereal and , for me, captured the strangeness of humans being on display for others...


This is just crazy. I cannot imagine this way of life:

This was an interesting story, but such a wasteful protest :(


The story that accompanied this photo is heartbreaking. Talk about a casualty of war.


I love the expression on this man's face, as well as Obama's. I have always enjoyed Obama's comforting voice and demeanor, and imagine he is good in these situations. I also love that Obama is obviously not under an umbrella and his suit is wet.


This photo feels almost too cliche, but it is so beautiful.

Timely

Happy Belated Caturday!

Well, I'd like you to finally meet the new lovelies in my life, known collectively as "The Kittens". My friend Amy heard one of them screaming and crying in the woods outside of her apartment. She brought him inside, cleaned him up, and called me, her animal freak friend, naturally. :)

When I arrived (she met me at the door with the kitten in just the palm of her hand! Tiny!) I told her that it was kind of weird to find just one; we had better look for more. Well, we found three more! We got a brief glimpse of the mama cat, and we are still trying to trap her and at least get her spayed.

The kittens, two black and two Siamese-y, have been with me for about three weeks now. In the beginning, there was a big huddle as they were unsure of what fate had befallen them.

And the occasional timid venture away from the rest. Here is the loud mouth that got them all rescued. :)

Love the perfect alternating pattern

Then it was all about the bottle-feeding. Constantly.

It gets a little messy. More on that later...


Some footage

And cuteness. Oh the cuteness!






And the mischief:

On the keyboard tray of the desk

Had to tape the bed to the cabinets because they kept tipping it over and getting trapped!

And the playfulness as they grow:







Some awesome footage of their playtime. It gets pretty damn cute in the middle:

And the naps as they wear themselves out:

Napping on my free weights, of course

Two buds

More to come, of course. They are too cute and I can't stop taking pictures! :)
