I envy these kittens

[Siwsan]

One moment, Squeaky is wide awake, while Madoc's eye lids seem a bit heavy. The next moment - both in dream land.

And their 'Moggy Mam' is exhausted! Between this awful heat, getting the first batch of Marinara Sauce started, and chasing after 4 fur balls of energy, I'm ready for bed, too!

Side note: If 'Smokey' does end up staying with me, Sophie and Madoc, I'm doing a name change to Morgan. Gotta keep that Welsh theme running.

1. So cute! I envy all kittens.

I will be putting in my reincarnation application to be a cat next time.

2. So true

I just keep thinking of the life these four would have had, had I not spotted them, compared to the life they will now have.

I found out one of my neighbors, at the other end of the subdivision, also has a feeding station for ferals. I'll have to go up and have a chat with her, and find out we are feeding the same ones.

3. That Smokey has

the funniest expressions sometimes. Really a cutie.

5. I think Mwg is smoke in Welsh.

Pronounced “moog”. How about Mwgyn (Moogwyn) for Smokey Morgan.

I would take that little tyke in a hot minute.

6. The sisters are both absolute beauties

I'm so glad their temperament has improved. Both are so much more friendly and snuggly, now.

adorable!

Thank you for posting a feel good....

8. They are so adorable.

I currently have one cat, about 5 years old I adopted from the local shelter a bit over a year ago. A few weeks ago I had a kitten spend the night with us (neighbor across the street had excess kittens) but decided a new kitten was more work than I was willing to deal with. Sigh.

Perhaps I should foster some kittens.

9. Fostering is far more work than I anticipated, but then I might be over doing it

I spend a lot of time playing with, and just plain keeping an eye on them. It's a bit easier, now that I have the en suite bathroom fixed up for them. I can get some house and yard work done, knowing these growing kittens have a big and safe place to play.

Today I have to make another kitten food run. And kitten 'wet' food is expensive, when feeding four. But that's ok. I want them as healthy as they can be.

Funny thing, though. I read that you should keep kittens on kitten food until they are about a year old. The feral kittens have been eating adult food for a LONG time and they are thriving.

Hmm. Just caught a whiff of kitten poo. Hopefully it's in the litter box.
