New pics of Zeus and Athena

It's been a while, so I'm posting some new pictures of Zeus and Athena. It doesn't look like the people we had in mind for the adoption are going to come through, so we're going to have to work on a second plan. In the meantime, I don't mind enjoying the cuteness running around her apartment. They'll be about 12 weeks old on Wednesday.

Here's Zeus:




And Athena:





Waiting expectantly while mom thaws out some shrimp


And their patience was rewarded. Zeus loved it. Athena thought it was OK. Zeus would growl if anybody got close while he was eating his piece. It's so funny to hear a little kitten growling.


I think they got bored of being photographed.



Last one. Athena likes to crawl up on the back of the chair and play with my hair. I usually can't stand it for long because it tickles so much, but I managed to hang on until Susan could snap a photo.

Awwww!!! Such pretty little kitties

Wow they've gotten big I'm sorry the adoption didn't work out

They are soooo cute and big already! You've done a great job!

Oh my, they sure have gotten big! Still have to grow into those ears, though...

I love the picture of Athena on your head. Good luck finding them homes!!

Look at the size of them! They're turning into such beautiful kitties!

Look at those ears! I just love kitten ears! Those pretty little babies have some growing to do to fit those ears! They're just adorable!

Gorgeous kitties!!! I just love Athena . What a little doll! And oh those ears

Wow they are getting SO BIG!! And yeah, aren't they supposed to be growing into those ears?? They are such cuties, I'm sure the right people will come along soon!!

Gorgeous little kittens! You and Susan have done a wonderful job with them!!

When Ophelia came into our home (her only option, not her choice - trapped between the walls of our apartment building as a 6 week old feral kitten) she was like that with all of her food. Regular kibble, treats, stolen people food...didn't matter. If it went in her mouth she growled to protect it. Utterly adorable! She thought she was so fierce.

Then she figured out that food was always there for her and it was OK if her "brother" Trent ate with her too. The treats elicited growls for quite a while, though.

Yes, those ears are giant, aren't they? They make them look very exotic. And Athena gives a great scalp massage. People pay big money for that kind of thing in spas.
