Instead of the Bengal, I adopted 3 kittens that were going to be put down :eek: My wife said, "Three???" Yeah, it was an interesting conversation. Anyways here they are:

Makushin is the flame-tipped; he is the supreme honcho as well as the youngest. He is 10 weeks old and plays rough with all the others until submission; however, he is the one that is prone to following me around and greeting me at the door. Also. he has a very raspy meow and has extra claws.

Denali is the medium-haired chocolate point; he is a more reserved lap kitten. He will occasionally climb your shirt to lick you in the face. In addition, he is fast! When he chases the laser dot, he runs circles around the others and freaks them out.

Sitka is the one that looks like a snowshoe mix (extraordinary coloration in person; it is as though she has highlights.) She is very verbal and will let you know when something is not going her way, if you stop petting her and she is not done she will nip and paw your hand back toward her.

Anyways, more to come as time passes; it was hard to take a photo - they never stay still! Also, I am trying to figure out what type of breed they may have in them. And, it is hard transitioning them all from Iams to Chicken Soup; I hope none have bad reactions - I am doing it slowly.

All three are lovely. I can't believe someone wanted to kill such pretty creatures. I'm sure they will be showing their gratitude to you for some time to come!
Are they littermates?

Funny thing is they are not littermates. Sitka, was dumped on the side of a road with a puppy. Makushin was dropped off at the pound with littermates. Finally, poor Denali was found in the woods malnurished with his littermates :\\

They are a great bunch of kittens who have vastly different personalities, it is a barrel o' fun. Just bought a cat tree the other day and they are playing on constantly. The first day was a hand full of hissing and display of dominance, but now they are sleeping on top of each other and grooming one another. So, it could not be better; plus, they all have exactly they same color blue eyes - freaky!

They are all gorgeous!!! I can't believe that they were going to be put down either.Some people just don't know a "good furbaby" when they find them.Thankfully YOU DID!!!

No Vacancy...One on the way!
awww
i would have guess them to be littermates.

My stewie was found with 4 other siblings under someones deck.
Since they were orphaned at 2 weeks of age i had a feeling they would be put down. I took in one, my mother a female, and then three others went to a pet store clerk who had taken in orphans in the past (bless her heart).

I see Jada (my mothers girl) all the time. she does look somewhat siamese but my Stewie looks more so than her.(they are a mix) I often wonder what the other littermates look like and if they are as nutty as my boy.

Anyways
Congrats on the new addition to your family!

PS you should name on of your pets Yukon!
