The kittens are indeed a handful. They can now climb the four stories of the kitty condo and enjoy giggling when I rush to catch them as they swan dive off the penthouse level. They are so darned fast. Can't wait to see the new novella!

And mom purrs back. In fact, she's purring now as the kittens are getting a midnight snack! She is such a good little mother! Neck rub to Mr. Cheddar.

And it came at a perfect time for me as i struggle to finish my new novella. And what a great thing to do -- fostering those kittens. I'm sure they will find good homes and be loved, as well as create a lot of love. Thanks for a really cool post!
PS And the pictures are wonderful. Those are cute kittens!

Before the move, they begged to be picked up and held. Now, they can run, and they do sometimes. Can't promise anything right now, but two weeks ago, they loved being handled by the five people who came to visit. Of course, their mom was fine with it, or I never would have begun the socialization process. I'm dedicating this week-end to lots of kitty petting and holding time, including mom. We're all recovering from the shock of two kittens climbing the barricade and escaping the room yesterday as I wrote this post!

And I hope you keep one or more of the cats. You know you want to...

I was so afraid I'd be a failure, as a foster mom but I should have known that, after living with a cat my whole life, I could do this. I've been thinking that being a foster mom would be something I could do to help many kitties have much better lives. Now I have to decide if I want "my own" cat or if I want to help other find forever homes.

Meanwhile, It's wonderful to hear "mews" in the house again. Sighs of contentment...and little bodies rolling on the floor playing...

Mama kitty goes back to the shelter for spaying on September 23rd. Her babies will be old enough to return, too. I have no doubt they'll be adopted and be well-loved. That will be a tough day for me, but I had to sign paperwork that I would return them.

We can all purr together, Orly. From my observations, being immersed in a pile of purring kittens is a good thing.
