A few '3rd Sunday' kitten snaps from this morning.

[Siwsan]

Smokey. Well, I'm pretty sure. Could be Sootie but I'm PRETTY sure it's Smokey


Probably Sootie.


Madoc - seems he got 'tagged' by one of his sisters, this morning.


And the 1 lb wonder, Squeaky. I've learned I need a lot of contrasting background when photographing Squeaky.

They all mew a big 'THANK YOU' for all of the interest in their new path in life.

1. I just want to bundle them up and hug them.

How are Miss Sophie and the outdoor kits doing?

[Siwsan]

2. Sophie is doing ok. She had a sniff of Madoc, the other day. No drama, at all

However, little Squeaky hissed at Sophie and Sophie ran! She sees me holding the kittens and doesn't show any aggression. She's never been an overly territorial cat - unlike Boudicca, who went on an absolute frightening rage anytime she saw another cat, other than Sophie.

Skittish, Mittens and Scooter are here, every morning, just before sun up. Mittens is getting more comfortable with me. Scooter still hasn't made a decision about whether nor not I'm a food bearing threat.

I haven't seen Spooky in a couple of days, but then I've been kind of busy so I'm going to keep an eye out for her. She's been stopping by, regular as clock work, until recently. It's going to be pretty hot, this afternoon, so I might sit outside with a glass of wine and a good book. Sometimes the ferals stop by to point out the lack of food in the bowl. I do try to keep the water dish fresh.

4. Ah, the joys and duties of being a cat parent. And interesting how even the outdoor kits

have te guilt tripping and manipulation down pat.

My kit and I send hugs to all of you.

6. They're getting their post meal individual attention

I try to let them sit on my lap as the clean up, after eating, and I give them scritches, soft pets and talk to them. Kind of hoping they see sitting on a human lap is a time for relaxing instead of time to shred the human into their next meal. Perhaps I exaggerate. When they kitten wrestle they either try to include me, or use me as a 'sanctuary' to escape the brawl.

Right now Squeaky is curled up on my neck, giving me chin nuzzles. He really is a sweet little guy.

8. Sounds like Heaven to me!

DAYUM they’re cute! Thanks for sharing these photos!!! Anybody having a bad day should keep this thread for the photos of all those precious little biddies.

3. Sweet, sweet babies!

Love all the names. They have such sweet faces.

5. A gentle suggestion

get a kitten collar or harness and collar Sooty or Smokey so you know which is which. One should have a tiny distinguishing mark but it's probably too small for dsily spotting. We have to put paper collars on identicals at the shelter.

7. I did buy one!

I must have had it adjusted too big because Sootie kept getting one leg through it, or getting it caught on her jaw. So I took it off to adjust it but just haven't put it back on her yet.

She doesn't mind wearing it when she doesn't have extra body parts caught up in it.

[not fooled]

9. Trim the hair at the end of her tail?

i.e. a butch cut--hair will grow back but same principle as ear tipping, a visual marker to tell them apart.

Love those smokey greys!

10. Wonderful

Thank you

11. the best day of their lives

was when they walked into your yard.

12. I want two!!!!

I'm actually gearing up to finding a couple of new fur balls soon. I'm torturing myself by looking at pics.

13. Lots of good photos of the cuties!

Have you tried marking the two similar looking kittens with lipstick?

[Siwsan]

14. Interesting!

I ended up buying a collar and putting it on Smokey.

When they are side by side it's a little easier to tell them apart because Smokey is fluffier and just a half a shade lighter in color. My niece can immediately tell them apart.

15. It's so difficult knowing who's who at that age.

Kudos to your niece that can help you identify who's who.
