BATCH #12 - DESSERT KITTIES

After what seemed like FOREVER, I finally have another batch of kitties to foster once again (three kittens with their Mommies).  And yes, I did say "Mommies" - plural.

The kittens (who were dumped in a vacant lot in boxes) have two Mommies as both adult females were nursing all three kittens, so it was difficult to tell which cat actually gave birth to the kittens as they were both producing milk.

I was given the privilege of naming them, so I decided to name them after desserts!

The Mommies:  Apple Pie (L) and Pumpkin Pie (R)

Peach Cobbler (the only male)

Oreo Cookie

Cool Whip

The two tuxedo kittens have very unique markings.  Oreo Cookie has some great patterns going across and down her front legs and paws, while Cool Whip has what looks like a moustache!

The adult females are very shy and will not come out into the main house when the bathroom door is open.  The kittens on the other hand, are jumping over each other to access the large open space to run and play and get into everything!

Oh, and did I mention that they are leg climbers?  Yes, they will jump from the floor onto my leg and start making their descent up my leg until I catch them and place them on my shoulder.  I guess they like the view from up there.

These guys are frisky as hell too.  You can't really hold them for too long as they want to chase each other around the house.  I swear, it sounds like I have a little herd of elephants stampeding through my kitchen sometimes.

If you do manage to get a hold of one, they will wrestle your hand and give you little licks before chomping down on your arm or hand and start play fighting.  The bites don't hurt mind you, they are more like a "play with me" type of bite.  If they do start to bite too hard, then I will quickly remedy that with a large "OWWWW!!" and immediately stop playing with them.  They will then learn that biting too hard with cease all attention, fun and playtime with me.

In another week, I will input their photos and biographies into the @VOKRA database as they will be 8 weeks old.  Once they get their 2nd dose of deworming medication, I will get them vaccinated and then they will be well onto their way to finding new forever homes!
