THE 2026 CALENDARS ARE AVAILABLE!
There are NINE calendars this year – one that encompasses all the fosters, one for each set of fosters (The Foundlings, The Britty Bunch, The Pops, The Alphabet Soup Gang, Esmeralda, The Tiny Dancers), and one with the permanent residents PLUS one with a theme – someone has been asking for a calendar with pictures of kittens in the pink Adirondack chair, and this year I finally made one.
I had to sort through something like 5,000 pictures to make these calendars – I hope that you see something that strikes your fancy. You can click on each image below to go directly to that calendar, or click here to see all of them. You have lots of choices – I default to the medium calendar when I’m creating them, but you can go bigger or smaller – just be careful and take your time and check out all the options.
Zazzle has a presence in other countries – check here to see if yours is one of them. If so, you can add store/loveandhisses on the end of the url to look at the calendars and have them sent to you from your own country (which should be cheaper than having them shipped from the US.)
Zazzle almost always has deals going on where you can save money on your purchases. As of yesterday you’ll save 40%, automatically applied.
(There are links in the sidebar, and of course I’ll mention calendars once a week through to about mid-January, as always.)

I laughed to see that pic of Khal. As I scrolled, the sides of the furry cat tree he’s on, appeared and I thought it was his legs! It looked just like he was leapfrogging
I totally did not notice that when I posted it, but now it’s all I can see!

Do you sell any of your images? I love the picture of Patsy (I believe that’s who it was) standing on two legs like a little bear
I uploaded both of the “Baby Bear Patsy” pictures to Zazzle – you can see them both right here. The way Zazzle is set up, you can buy them as prints, as listed, or use the picture on another product. The sky’s the limit, really! (As a note: the first “baby bear” picture is a bit blurry. The second is much clearer, but I don’t know that it has the charm that the first (blurry) shot does.)

Sashay and the serious little face.
Just one patron – Flamenco – at the milk bar. (The others were sleeping.)
If there’s one thing Sashay is gonna do when she’s sleepy, it’s use one of her siblings (in this case, Tango) as a pillow.
Flamenco with the guilty face.
Tango’s all “Excuse you, lady, we tryin’ to sleep here.”
Three kittens at the milk bar, and the 4th – Tango – over there thinking “Hmm… I could eat!”
Expanding their horizons! Tango in the front, Mambo in the back.
Tango on the left, Mambo on the right. I told Tango at least 4 days ago “When that dab of paint falls off your ear, I’m going to put a collar on you.” And it looks like that paint’s not going anywhere anytime soon!

A rare shot of all three permanent residents – Charlie in the box, Alice headed for the door, Khal over there to the right.

The Tiny Dancers are spitters. They all spit at each other, at me, at ChaCha, but this is the first time I caught a spit on video, courtesy of Tango. (When kittens this age spit, it’s usually either to get someone’s attention or in the course of playing.)
Tango in my lap. He is just so CUTE.

After I posted the video of Tango spitting this morning, I got to wondering just how many spitting-kitten clips I have. Turns out? Quite a few! I put together these clips of kittens spitting – the earliest I have (that I’m aware of) is from 2015. That’s a lot of spits!
Flamenco caught herself a mouse, and was growling at Tango (behind her) . She’s a fierce little huntress!

While her siblings are sleeping, Flamenco bellies up to the milk bar.
ChaCha’s serious about keeping the kittens (in this case, Flamenco) clean.
Flamenco (left) and Sashay at the milk bar. Nursing is SERIOUS business, y’all.
