yesterday we only saw tongue and eyes of the black one, and today...we see that adorable all black one!!! And the one with the white eyeliner is too previous for words. Oh, be still my heart, I want all three of them

So...how did the introductions go? It looked like a couple of the adults were pretty casual, but it's hard to tell in pictures...one minutes things can look calm, then the next minute, who knows?

It couldn't have gone any better. My two older "kittens", Oliver and Louie, were the most curious; being the most social of my bunch, not too surprising. Rossi, Sasha, Tiko, and Prissi all made appearances, with the expected hisses from Prissi and ambulance sirens from Sasha (although they both stuck around to watch them play!)

Everyone was on their best behavior. So proud of all of them! I don't know what got into me to make me take these little guys in, but I'm sure glad I did.

Oh, and...the two fuzzies are boys. The lighter, shorter-haired one is a girl. She seems to be the ringleader - was the first to climb the walls of the pen and escape, necessitating the plywood roof.

OMG, Keycube!! Where is the extra heavy duty cuteness warning????

They are adorable!!! The pic of the little tabby with it paws on your arm looking up at you is worth a million bucks!

If you change your mind about them I know they would get adopted in a nano-second!!!

I really don't know what to do. It all amounts to me not trusting anyone enough to give them up. I refuse to split them up, at least this early, and if I relinquish control of them...I just don't know if I could sleep at night.

Do I need 10 cats in my 2-bedroom apartment? No. But I don't know what the humane alternative is.

I have a friend that has dibs on the long-haired tiger, and she's a great meowmy, but giving him up is still something I will have to assess in a month's time or so, when I see how all of their individual relationships are progressing.

I am so thankful for the people who fostered my cats and then gave them up to forever homes. I wouldn't have my little Fiona or crazy ReeRee if people didn't trust others to be good pet owners. Just think about it. Just because you don't trust people doesn't mean people are not trustworthy...you wonder whats the most humane thing to do but it sounds more like you are worried about how you'll feel vs. whats best for your group as a whole.

I am just thinking it would be great if you could keep some room open for maybe more fosters or a stray who is really in dire need vs. keeping 3 adoptable kittens. Be honest, after these 3 (if you keep them) would you have room for a cat who was in really desperate need of a good home?? I can't imagine you turning it away either....where would it end? 15 cats, 20?? Just some things to think about....

I think its awesome you have such a big heart for them but sometimes we need to step back and really think what this means long term....cats get old and sick eventually and can you handle 10 huge vet bills? I'm just bringing all this up to help so I hope you won't take offense. Take it or leave it, it's just my opinion.

You could foster for a rescue in your area until they are ready to go. Check on Petfinder. Even across the border in Wash. Co. It's nice to adopt out kittens in pairs; a rescue may have a 4th for them to play with and other adult cats in the house to teach them how to behave. Not talking you in or out of anything, because I understand. I still have my seven fosters. We are keeping six of them. Cass needs to find another home b/c he really is best as an only. It is SOOO terribly hard.

I know a lady who is really a dog person, but took in two adult sister cats to save their lives.. and then a little kitten who was by himself. The kitten wouldn't take no for an answer from other older females and eventually, they took to him... he brought them out of their shells and they gave him some much-needed mothering.

The thing that makes it so grueling to think about right now is watching them play. There is no way in the world right now I can even think of adopting them out - the vet thinks they're only 6 weeks old - when they're learning so much and so happy in the company of their siblings.

I'll likely let the fuzzy tiger go to my friend - she's completely in love with him, and she has great cats of her own for him to play with. The others, I don't know...I've only had them a few days. The Honeymoon is still ongoing. I could see myself with that little girl, though...I have so many boys! But the little black one is stumbly and bumbly and so pitiful in his own way...

I don't know; it will all work out in the end, even if I have to knock holes in the walls and put up 500 feet of perches and catwalks to keep everyone occupied. I'm in an intense "I hate humans" mode right now, and that will subside one day so that I can start thinking rationally about the situation.

But until then...KITTENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those babies are just soooooo cute!!!!!!!!
The darker tabby and Jake are like twins!!!!! That means not only is he the most adorable kitten ever but he will be such a handsome older cat too
Here's my Jake that age you can see how similar they look- their face markings are like identical!

Hahaha you should have known those little babies would wrap you around their little paws. Thats what happened to me when Easy had her babies.
Good luck with that decision

They are adorable.... one of them looks just like Ducky did as a kitten

Susan, nothing is stopping you from getting a kitten!!!
