Distractions

There’s no knitting to see here. Well, I could photograph another almost-completed Mad Color Weave sock, but that would steal all the fire from the FO photos. And do you really want to see another frogged piece of Petal, complete with swearing? Yup, the sleeve cap reknitting doesn’t need blog documentation.

Therefore I shall distract you with… kittens!

Clicky on the picy for extra big. How can you resist those little blue eyes?

The kittens have undergone an amazing transformation from when we found them a little over a week ago. Back then, they would huddle behind the toilet whenever we walked into the room and would hiss like crazy. Now they climb all over us and are positively jumpy. Dare I say, frisky? Definitely frisky. Also, they learned how to purr this weekend and they all purr at the same time when we enter the room. Purring in stereo! It’s pretty awesome.

We have another week of kittens living in the bathroom before they get their feline lukemia test, and then we can take them to get adopted. I’m introducing them to the other cats as soon as possible – we only have one, small bathroom, and we want it back!

    Sorry to hear about the sleeve cap :/

    The kittens are so cute! I know what you mean about the transformation. Philana was so quiet and sleepy when we got her, but now she’s a little terror!

    We still want the one with the grey and white, in the top left, feline leukemia or not – it would be an only kitty. Let me know if we should start kitty-readying our apartment. ^_^

    Good on you guys for putting in the fostering time to make these guys adoptable! Noble work. :)

    I cannot allow myself to be tempted by kitty cuteness…

  17. Em - September 10th, 2007 @9:29 am

    Oh dear, those kittens are the cutest! It’s so great that you’ve rescued them and given them a chance to be their adorable kitten selves. Some very lucky people will have a loving pet because of you!

    We fostered a momma cat and her four kittens – that is how we ended up with cat #3! A year after the other kitties had gone to homes, That Guy turned to me one night and said, “Remember when we used to go in the kitten room and let them crawl all over us?” It is so much fun to watch them grow. Kudos!

    Holy cuteness! I’m sure glad you guys are there for them.
