We’ve let the kittens out of the nursery and into the main part of the house so they can learn to socialize with other cats (and get more time with us, naturally). Needless to say, they are making themselves at home… Abigail Tipper has found her place in the sun. Jackie-O Bess is in Feisty …

Faster than a speeding sleigh
We were taking pictures of the kittens for this year’s Christmas card, and briefly considered using this sequence. Cooler heads prevailed, but here it is for your enjoyment. Yeah, posing kittens is easy.

Posers
Well, the kittens are still a little young to be very cooperative when we take pictures (they want to look at everything except the camera) but we stuck to it and are proud to present the First Lady Litter…. Bess (Truman) Δ Abigail (Adams) Δ Ladybird (Johnson) Δ Tipper (Gore — should have been First …

They plump when you feed ’em
It’s amazing how big those kittens get after a few days. They look like plump little furry sausages. Maybe we’ll name the Bratwurst, Kielbasa, Andouille, Knackwurst, and Chorizo. Okay, maybe not.We have a rule about not naming kittens after food, no matter how tasty they look.

Maybe’s Babies
Maybelline gave birth to five big kittens on Tuesday morning! They quickly proved to be more mobile than the usual litter. One of them crawled out of the nest within minutes and we had to put up the barrier. These beasties were a little late, so they must have used the extra gestation time productively… …

Did you get my good side?
Time to get some pictures of the Patootie-Pumpkin litter before they go to their new homes! This sounds like an easy enough thing, but there is a certain technique, you see. You can’t take pictures right after a meal, because at that point they’re all zipping around and all you get are pictures of blurs. …

On becoming a kitten
Now that the kittens eyes are open and they are moving around more, they’re graduating from being eating and sleeping machines to showing their individual personalities. While it’s too early to say exactly how they’ll turn out, it’s fun to guess. “I only look guilty because you startled me. I wasn’t up to anything, really.” …

When they’re not eating…
…they’re sleeping! We took a few pictures of the kittens while Pootie was eating her dinner. Of course she had to rush back and defend them from our evil camera, but we managed to get a few good shots anyway. Brothers and sisters also make good headrests. It’s waaaaay to early to say whether any …

All together now…. Awwwwww
Tootie give birth two three lovely little kittens on Monday night. This is her first litter and she is turning out to be a great mother. She’s very protective and looks very contented when she’s feeding them. It’s already apparent that the little ones have inherited the snuggling gene…
