Our Ears Finally Grew

Lily finally has some ears. She is expecially lovable and likes to be the first to greet me each day.

This is Lily and Poppy's first time in the den. They enjoyed smelling the carpet.

Hello, Miss Darling. I need to find a first name for you.

"Hey, I don't like the flash." says Cosmo.

Hawthorn says, "I smell another cat."

Did I mention that Miss Darling is a great mom? The foster kittens are lucky to have her. She likes to get in my lap and knead her paws and get undivided attention while her babies are scampering around.

What's In A Name

I like a theme. This batch of foster kittens are going to be named for flowers. This little lady is Poppy. Not long after she was born, her eyes started getting matted together. She is the only one who had this problem. I started getting worried about her. Every day, twice a day, I took warm, wet cotton balls and cleaned her eyes. Poppy is all better now!

The two boys are named Cosmo and Hawthorn. I pretend to know which is which.

This is Poppy before her eyes got better. The other little lady (the gray one) is Lilly.

I still need to come up with a few more names.

These foster kittens have especially beautiful eyes. Right now, their eyes are blue. Hopefully, they will stay that way.

Foster Kitten Pictures

Since the foster kittens are so small, they sleep a lot and spend most of their time inside the crate. Abbie decided to join them!

Maybe I just have a bad memory, but this set of foster kittens have seemed to do everything earlier than the last batch of foster kittens. The Darlings have opened their eyes already.

6 foster kittens = 5 orange kittens, 1 gray kitten, 4 girl kittens, 2 boy kittens

"We're identical!"

The Darlings

Until we come up with names, I've been calling her Miss Mama. I've been so lucky to get such sweet mama cats. She is very tame and lovable. After her meal, she starts purring loudly to let me know that she is ready to be petted.

Look at those little ear nubbins! This is the only foster kitten that is this color - similar to the mom's coloring but yet a little lighter with more orange.

There are 5 orange kittens - I cannot tell them apart! This is my pretty niece who is going to help us name the foster kittens.

TA - DA!

We've given the foster kittens a last name - Darling.
