Kitties

[littlebitca]

There's painting and closet stuffs and changing out the lighting and more painting and welding and all sorts of things happening that are all good and necessary and mean that one day things may actually be moved from the current house to the new house, but at the moment mean busy and perhaps a touch achy.

Meanwhile there are kitties at the farm:

(As always, click thumbnail for larger images)








There's Callie (the long-haired calico) and her brother Big Black. And our volunteer kitten from this sunmmer. Who is still referred to as 'kitten' because we haven't come up with a name yet. Very interesting coat, though -- the markings are very much like those of Ty (in my icon) only instead of the lavender-gray, he's more tortoise-shell. I bribe them all shamelessly with treats.

Kitties are cuties!

kitties are cuteness. I read one who wrote, that 100 hundred years from now, the only thing that be watchable from youtube, would be film with kittens

Entirely likely. Although I'd still add the one of the dog who kept thinking his back leg was trying to steal his bone. It's the one I go to when I need a good laugh.

KITTEHS!!!!11111

Whenever I see your farm kitty pics, I always think back to the "summer of the kittens" on the ranch. 3 or 4 barn cat moms had two litters of 6 or 7 kittens each that summer. Somewhere, I have a picture of me with a swarm of kittens around my feet. (We bribed them with a dish of milk, if I recall correctly)

I should look for that pic and scan it in...

DOOO EEET!!!

Oooh, wants them all.

That pink and gray cat has got to be a she, though (I think you're just comparing her to a male and assuming you know about tri-color cats and the X chromosome).

Hee! Well, you notice Kitten doesn't have a name yet! And is just fluffy enough that even enticing rolling on the back with the judicious application of a feather on a string doesn't help! But yeah, I know that a male calico is very rare, though not unheard of. When Kitten first arrived the coat was seriously silvery gray with some markings (which was when we started thinking , and has turned to this over time. Be interesting to see what happens as time goes on.

So entirely accurate!!

With the antics of your kitties, I can most definitely say you live on a funny farm

[atpolittlebit.livejournal.com]

We do! We really do! But I lurves the lunasea!

yay kitties, go house, and let us know when you're actually living there! and you're not the winner in the 'pet with no name category' until you've waited over a year like we did! the vet just entered the name of the first ferret (now Sasha) as 'ferret' and the second one (Zeno) was 'little ferret' because he was much smaller than she was. but then of course, he got twice as big as she was so we though they should have 'real names' at that point...but i know it took us at least a year! the third ferret name was easy since she was so bitey: Zeva, Greek for sword!

There've been so many black cats that I think I'm at... hmmm... is this Snowball 16 or 17? Even the one I'm referring to as Big Black has a mini me I'm currently calling Baby Black. But as Baby Black is a Spring kitten from this year, he could be bigger than his big bruvver by next year. Hee.
