Kitten Update: Their Eyes are Open!
Big news today! Two of the kittens have opened their eyes. The big gray curly-furred one and Bessie.
There are five kittens: a big gray furry one that looks like it has curly fur, one that has gray and white markings that we are calling Bessie because she looks like she has cow spots, one all gray one that is the runt of the litter and two others that are mostly gray but have some white markings. One has a white spot on it’s nose and that is the one Bug wants to keep. She’s named it Shylie. I wanted to name whatever kitten we kept Fiesta or Dos or Gato or something but Bug has spoken and I’m inclined to let her pick the name of the cat she will most likely call hers.
Bessie.
Shylie. I guess he’s shy maybe.
And of course the mama cat, Aqui. She looks a little pissed off in these pictures but she’s actually purring up a storm. We always make a point of petting her a lot when we visit the kittens so she doesn’t get jealous.
Motherhood is so glamourous.
p.s. All photos taken by Bethany except the last one.

Fiesta would be a great cat name, but Shylie is great too. Those are some adorable kittens and Aqui looks like a great momma.

Nathan is on my lap laughing at the first picture. Maybe he thinks Annalie is looking at him. And that last picture, I think I’ve had that same look on my face before when Nathan was new and it felt like I was breastfeeding him all the time.

Ahhhhh. Kittens are the best. Cats aren’t so bad either, but kittens? They are joy personified (or is it “certified”?).

That is supposed to say “catified”, but this HORRIBLE new LION operating system thinks it is smarter than me and is correcting EVERYTHING. *sigh*

Cute kitties! I never knew they took so long to open their eyes after birth.

GATO! LOS GATO!
Hi, My name is Aqui and this is my son GATO.
Hi, I’m Gato, but you can call me Los Gato because you must respect me.
(I dearly love Aqui’s name.)

Poor Aqui. Five kittens, that’s almost one kid per nipple.

Bethany you are going to have to keep a close eye on Annalie… That look is enough to melt anybody’s heart!!

The one with the white on its nose looks like a badger from some kids show or book when the kids were little.

If I lived even within a drive of you I’d be over there cuddling those cute cute kittens…but sadly, I am several flights away (so rest assured I won’t be stalking you ;)).
They’re adorable!

I actually want kittens more now then I did before. Great picture.
