Kitten pictures
Life’s quiet right now, pretty much nothing but working and being outside, so I have nothing today but some foster kitten pics. Note they’re all named now.
Peanut, looking mildly addled.
My shirt, one of my more obnoxious ones, says:
"If I got smart with you, how would you know?"
Oy wanders by, looking concerned about something. He’s the runt.
Edgar presents for the belly rub.
Snoopy loves the belly rubs, as much as his namesake did.
Snoopy looks expectantly up at me. If you recall, I once said I wanted
to name him Adolf, not only for the little moustache but for the fact that
he always seems to have a paw thrown up in the air.
Peanut demonstrates what all five now know: going in the box.
Is there anything funnier than a fluffed-up kitten trying to look badass?
The kittens LOVE to clamber about my legs.
Flossie always seems worried.
Maybe she’s realizing she’s going to spend the rest of her life
looking like the bastard offspring of Groucho Marx and a holstein.
Edgar fights with Peanut, who can’t be seen.
Edgar is concerned with my groin for some reason.
A couple of nights after we got these guys, I was laying in the floor on my back,
letting them climb on me, and Edgar, for reasons known only to him, took
it upon himself to bite me on the penis through my pants.
It hurt.
Oy (right) whips out the paw ‘o doom on Edgar.
Mister Boogers is quite interested in the goings-on in the foster kitty room…
…but he ultimately decides the birds out front are more interesting.
Your crotch is mama to them!
It makes sense if you think about it. As for the one biting you though all I can say is he must have thought it was a great big suckler! 
But I bet if he bites her she’ll wean them soon!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
They are sooooooo cute
But man, that’s a lotta kitties you gotta take care of…
Chirag: my wife does most of the taking care part. I just get to play with them and help corral them into a carrier when it’s time for her to vacuum and clean the room they’re in. All the kitten fun, none of the hassle.
Any chance you could mail Snoopy to Nebraska? I just love his coloring.
I want a kitten so bad and my mean dh keeps saying NO!
Just a quick question - will there be a time when Mister Boogers won’t need the zap collar? Like where he’ll think he’ll get zapped if he gets close to the fence even though the collar’s not on?
They’re all so cute! How can you tell Edgar and Oy apart??
Oy…hahah great name. No Roland or Eddie?
Very cute little ones. Have fun with them!
Bonnie: We don’t want to risk it. I don’t know if he’s been zapped in a while or not, but I know the last time the batteries in his collar ran down he snuck out. Better safe than sorry.

Maggie: If you look closely at their faces, you can tell them apart by the shape of the white. Plus, they’re different sizes.

Sean: I suggested Roland, Eddie, Susanna, Jake, and Oy as names for the kids, but got shot down on the whole ka-tet thing. We gave the mother a Dark Tower name, though — she’s Mia.
Sean: I liked the idea of Roland, Eddie, Susanna, Jake and Oy, but all of them except Oy had been used before with other cats at the shelter; the idea is to use names that haven’t been used before, so we used other names. I suppose we could have used “Roland of Gilead”, “Eddie of New York” and so on, but those are mighty cumbersome names for little kitties.
Thanks for the kitty fix since Miz Robyn is too busy being a hostess these days. The kitties have gotten sooooo big. I’d be in heaven with all those kittens. I’d never leave the room unless Mia got in my face.
I know how it goes - I used to work at an animal shelter and after a while it is tough to come up with new names. Oy is very cool though. Although wouldn’t it be a CA-TET in this case?
Sorry - my sense of humor is not fully developed!
A student at the high school I work at had the same shirt. I remarked as to how funny it was. After a pause he said, “What does it mean?” Hmm…
