Kittens have it. I cannot believe what a happy, exuberant bunch these six are! Whether they're chasing each other around and around the bathroom, climbing the radiator cover, playing with the feather toy, or trying (make that succeeding) to crawl up my legs in order to say "hi," giving me nose-bumps and kisses, playing with my hair, or tucking into their food, they do it with complete and utter joy and a complete lack of self-consciousness or fear.
They don't know that they were brought to the shelter with their mom because they were unwanted. They want and expect to be adored.
And really, what kind of person would I be if I withheld that?
We are going to be "losing" them over the next couple of days. That makes me very sad... I spent a lot of time with these little nuts, getting to know their personalities and making sure that they became as sociable and human-friendly as I could. (And they ARE super-friendly, just all around great kittens!) I know that it's part of the process, and that we won't make a good foster home if we can never give them back up (as well as being a house with 9 cats and 2 dogs!) but that doesn't mean that I don't feel a pang of sadness.
Bon voyage, kittens. You've made me laugh, you've taught me a lot. And now it's time to let you move on to the next chapter of your lives.
Bless you for helping these little beings on their journey...I wish the best for them!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! Thank you for fostering them and loving them ... you are AWESOME. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely cute little fuzz balls! We took in a cat when I was in college who delivered four kittens under my bed one night. One of the funniest things I ever saw was them playing with a water balloon yo you! When they finally popped it, they were all stunned! Those little kittens will lead much happier lives thanks to your good start for them!
ReplyDeleteCracking up at the image of the popped water balloon. Next litter of kittens, I know what I'm getting...
ReplyDeleteMom says the hardest part is giving them back - but it is quickly followed by knowing that space can be filled by others that need the same help. And mom says that there are times kittens are better than cable.... MOL
ReplyDeleteYour house will sure be quiet when they is gone.

ReplyDeleteYay for them, that they had you. And vice verse. SO cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are still so tiny! And adorable. I can not imagine the fun you have had with such a bundle of kittens and I hope they find a home with just as much love and fun as they had with you.
