Of course my heart wants all of them (except that orange one.  I don't really like orange cats, they tend to be mean.  And boys.  And I don't really like boy cats either, they tend to spray all over the house.  Except your orange/boy cat.  Your orange/boy cat is so much different than all the rest) but I'll only take two.  I really hope that top tabby is a girl.  I am already in love with its back and the racing stripe behind its ear. 

My friend/teacher/Reiki Master Susannah has a son who works at an animal hospital in the next county over and he is fostering these kittens (who were found in a box at just a few weeks old and separated from their mother and hopefully the mother is healthy because I can't take a cat with leukemia or any other health problem because there has already been too much family loss and I don't have the wear with all to nurse a sick animal) until they are big enough to be immunized and fixed and adopted out.  Which will be in a month or so.  I don't know if I can wait that long. 

I know I've crossed into a new realm of crazy because seeing these kittens squeezes my nethers the same way holding my baby niece does.  Isn't that lovely?

I actually laughed out loud at the "I really want them all - except the orange one" comment. Poor orange kitty!

"except your orange cat. Your orange cat is exceptional." And indeed he is. :)

I laughed really loud at the last bit... ugh kittens kill me... slay me dead. I love the tabby. I'm a huge black cat lover. When I got my own place with Mike I demanded that when we got a cat, he/she be black. When we got to the pet store... well they had one cat. A black one. It was meant to be... only issue he was a male... I was worried about spray. So far, so good Angus has been well behaved and he's almost 6 years old now. He's the love of my life, don't tell Mike ;)

Kittens give me a bigger baby fever than human babies do. I would take a kitten over a newborn any day. And now I want one, too. The grey tiger one. I agree about ginger cats.

I had a orange cat
Her name was Ralph
She wasn't mean

How did she get here name? The first time I saw her, I said, "Hi kitty. What's your name?"

She said, "Rowwwwrf"

But a baby kitten won't grow up and want to date and drive your car, and go to college. That already puts them ahead of human babies to me.

omg, so cute. I would want them all, too. That happened to us. We took in a mean ole pregnant mama. She had 5 but one didn't make it. We took four in, then sent one along to my niece [which killed me to do, and she no longer has her and I still find myself feeling just a little bit guilty over it and hope she's in a good home] and we also took in their older brother who we still have and is ferral and all he says is "HAH!" as my daughter would say. And so - there you have it. Watch out before you have a full menagerie. ;)

I never have really liked orange cats either. And they are all boys... isn't that weird? If there is a girl orange tabby in this world I've never seen it. ;)

I love baby kitties!!
