Crouton in the sun.
Pita checking out the sights.
Pumpernickel and Ciabatta, enjoying the frog bed.
And yep, they’re still climbing in on and around the crate.
Ciabatta and Babka get their chatter on. This is the chattering-est bunch of kittens!
Crouton’s all “I’ve got it! I’ve got it!” (Spoiler: she didn’t get it, but it was a good try!)
Pumpernickel’s ready for the Churu, please and thank you.
Babka in the heart basket with the stuffy. I think it’s safe to say that Babka’s got your heart.

Say hello to our newest foster, Meander.
She is hanging out in what I call my “office”, but we all know darn well should be called the “nursery.”
She tends to photograph as all gray, but she’s a dilute tortie – you can see patches of peachy-pink in her fur.
See?
And yes, she is pregnant. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to wake up this morning (you know I’m still asleep when these posts auto-post, right?) to find kittens. Her belly was pretty active yesterday.
I had originally been planning to get her Monday (she was at Michelle’s house), but Brittany said “You might want to get her sooner, I don’t think she’s got long to go.” Michelle said that judging by her teeth she’s no more than 18 months old, so we’re calling her 18 months old.
She has very clearly been around people before, so she was either dumped or someone moved and left her behind. She showed up in an area where someone was feeding stray cats, then started showing up multiple times a day. They didn’t even have to trap her – the lady was able to pick her up and put her into a carrier.
She is very, very sweet and more than little nervous, though she’s already relaxed a lot since I brought her home. She very much likes the cat tree and the window bed, she spends most of her time there. She’s checked out the crate a few times but hasn’t spent significant time in there. She loves to be petted and likes to be brushed (she’s shedding a lot), and I am looking forward to getting to know her.
The list of potential names for her kittens: Mosey, Lollygag, Wander, Saunter, Skitter, Scamper, Skedaddle, Trip, Bolt, Swagger and Skip. I was going to call them “The Movers,” but Brittany suggested “The Hopalong Gang,” and I like that better, so that’s what I’m going with!

Alice is like “REALLY. MORE kittens? That’s what you think we need?”

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
Goooooood morning, kittens! Top: Pita, Babka & Ciabatta. Bottom: Pumpernickel & Crouton.
Back in 2013 (!) we fostered Khaleesi, a pregnant calitabby. She gave birth to four kittens and while she was in the middle of birthing her own kittens, a little orphan (Norbert) joined her. I kind of slid Norbie in and among her kittens while she wasn’t paying attention, and I like to think that, all these years later, she still wakes up in the middle of the night and wonders where he came from. (You can read the entry about that right here!)
This is is what she looks like these days, right after jumping on her sister Lily. She looks like she’s saying “Who, me? I’d never and I resent the accusation.”
(Thanks, Alton!)

3 1/2 minutes of the kittens playing. These kittens play like WILD things, I’m telling you.
In case you missed it on the blog this morning, Crumpet is now at Petsmart. If you’re interested in adopting her, drop an email to Forgotten Felines of Huntsville at info (at) ffhsv.org to inquire. (I will keep y’all updated on her.)
The kittens don’t seem to have even noticed she’s gone.

Chatterbugs!
Ciabatta is just the SWEETEST little guy.
Good night innernets. 🙃
