kitten update

wide-eyed and "monkey'n" around

these little tikes are simply irresistable if you ask me.

i spent the afternoon home in the valley doing laundry and seeing the "kits"

they are 4 weeks old now, and they're as cute as can be

they paw at anything, love explore and climb, and they have a lot to meow about

taylor still won't budge on bringing one of these little critters home

i'm fighting a battle that i know i have no chance at winning

but a girl can dream, right?

there really are no words to explain how adorable these six kittens are

so let just have these pictures speak for themselves, shall we?

 

kittens!

kittens, kittens, kittens!

my mom rescued a young momma cat and her kittens at her school a couple weeks ago. she had been feeding the mother cat, named alaska, who is practically a kitten herself (about a year old) for weeks. alaska grew to trust my mom and when the time was right, my mom took her to the vet to get checked and spade. all was fine until the vet gave news that alaska was nursing and just had kittens!

my mom felt terrible. alaska was so skinny and feeble it was unimaginable to think she was pregnant. my mom immediately brought her back to her kittens and let her be for about a week. the vet and my mom thought there would be at most one kitten, given alaska's condition and frailty, but sure enough there were five!

they were all hiding under my mom's classroom among broken bottles and dirt. they were so filthy you couldn't even tell they had any white fur.

my mom brought them home and they've been there since - happy and healthy

if you or anyone you know is looking for a cat, my mom has five!

they're only about a week and a half old, so they'll be good to go to a new home in about 6 weeks.

i'm still trying to coax taylor into taking one, but its been an uphill battle trying to convince him
