To say that I am more than excited about my second batch of kittens is an understatement. I'm so OVER-THE-MOON EXCITED! I've been waiting since the end of December for kitten season to rev up, which proved to be a long four months!
I received an email message from my VOKRA* co-ordinator at 8:17pm and within the hour was in my car heading to pick-up my second batch of kittens!
I was awarded the pleasure of fostering 6 kittens and their mommy. The kittens are only 8 days old today. That means I'll probably have to wait another 2 weeks before I can smother them with kisses and cuddles. This also means that it will be exactly 2 weeks when the onslaught of my family and friends will be coming to visit.
As for now, I am going to let mommy do her thing and I'll try to make my introduction to her and her babies slowly and gradually so as to not frighten them.

She doesn't look too impressed with me here, but she didn't seem frightened at all. Just wondering why I was making such a fuss over her and her babies.
A closer look at the kittens showed that there were:
- 2 tabbies (look at the tiger-like markings of the cutie in the middle of the frame)
- 2 potential Siamese (or they could just be white kittens, but they have Siamese markings on the tips of their ears)
- 2 black kittens. As these two were buried underneath a pile of kittens and mommy, I couldn't tell if they were tuxedo cats or not.
