I have a cat that showed up at our house about a month ago, and we named her Hazel. We've been feeding her and taking care of her. A week after she came, she brought her kittens. They are all adorable. I think they are now around 6 weeks old. They are plump and healthy. She has a routine where she moves them around quite frequently. They will be here for a day or two, then gone for 2-3 days, then she brings them back again. One of the spots that she keeps them at is down the road next to road on our neighbor's property, and we can see them occasionally when we go on our nightly walk.

Anyway, she had two of the boys here today (Henry and Templeton) so I snapped some pictures. I hope you like them.






Calling her babies


Henry in one of our trees. They are very good and fast climbers.

I forgot Wilbur is in these pictures also, so it would be three of her boys. Oops.
Wilbur on the left, Henry on the right


Wilbur, my favorite

The pics in the tree are beautiful...of course, the subjects help with that a LOT! Momma and babies are just gorgeous. I love to watch a momma with her kittens. My cats growing up had litters often (my mom would never pay to spay them back then because they were strays and we were poor) and I can remember watching how the mommas loved and took care of their babies.

Now, with Percy and Momma Kitty, I have gotten to enjoy it all over again. While none of my personal cats can have babies, I adopted momma and Percy together at the shelter. How could anyone seperate them? He was only about 6 weeks old!

*gasp* Oh, my gosh!!! Hazel is beautiful, and her babies.......!!!!!!!
Absolutely adorable!! I agree - that last pic of Wilbur just kills me!
But the ones in the tree are also incredibly adorable!! I love their markings, and the looks on their faces. How cool that they're so relaxed they can just lie down and take naps.

Thanks everyone! We sure love them a lot. Hazel is a wonderful mama, she takes very good care of them, and all of the babies are very friendly and loving. I like to sit out on the porch and they will all climb up in my lap.

Such beautiful kitties. And you are a very talented photographer.

Have the older two kittens starred coming around too?

Thanks!


Yes, the older two come at night, but they are very difficult to photograph. Especially Ninja. They are getting better, but are still pretty skittish.

I love their facial markings also. Every single one of the boys have the same similar forehead blaze that their mother does. The only one that doesn't is the girl. She has a 2/3 white and 1/3 black face with a spot of black on her nose.
