They have fully opened their eyes, their ears do not fold over like a Scottish fold (although I love it when kittens' ears are folded) and they are climbing out of their little box when we come in to visit them. Shelldon and Lennord are the first ones to come to the edge of the box to be picked up (for cuddles or just to be lifted out of their box).

In every litter, I always have the very real danger of foster failing one of the kittens (meaning that I would end up keeping one of the kittens as my own instead of finding them an adoptive family). Each litter I've always found one (sometimes two!) kittens that I would say to my husband "I wouldn't mind keeping this one ...". With this litter, it would have to be Lennord, the tabby. My previous two cats, Runners and Hobbies, were both tabbies and I loved them (and miss them) dearly. So, I guess I have a soft spot for tabbies.

My friend wrote a poem when my Hobbies went over the rainbow:
Sunday
In those last minutes
you feel like it goes by
Too Fast
Struggling
to find a way to make it
Slow Down
even though
you know it`s
Inevitable
Mementos
scattered throughout the house
Compassion brings more pain
And reminders
Stifle your cry until you realize
There`s no point
You
let
go
The memories are
Everywhere
Even when you close your eyes
to hide from everything else
to hide from everything else

Lennord is a very loving, playful kitten and is always seeking out our attention. He is also very alert and will stare up at us from his box when we come in.

Alert and adorable |
Mommy Aimee is also a very affectionate cat, so much so that I wonder if she had a home previously. She is not shy around people and on her first day with us, she climbed onto my lap for some affection. I am pretty sure semi-feral or shy cats do not do that on the first day of meeting someone new.

Beautiful eyes to match her beautiful coloring |
I am hoping that Aimee will be adopted not too much later after her kittens. With all the pictures and videos I will be taking of her, I do not see that being a problem.
