The Lucky Bunch, doin’ their thang.
Newbs, having a cuppa.
Argh, phone pics so rarely come out. Tayler, grooming Cricket.	You can't really tell, but Gnar is using Squish’s paw as a pillow. That's about as cuddly as they get.

There will be more pictures of bottle babies soon. They spend most of their time eating and sleeping right now, so it’s hard to find pictures that are both good and different from all the rest. Another week or so and they’ll be crawling all around, though!

Tayler, challenging kitten cuteness since 2001.	Three cats in a row.
Nothin’, just chillin’.	Yoga is good for a growing cat.
Inventory: kitten on the arm of the sofa, kitten on my chest, Squish, Gnar, kitten, and Tayler on the back of the couch. All accounted for.	Gnar inspects newb and gives him a C.

Newbs and Oldbs

Much to his chagrin, I am forcing Clover to snuggle instead of doing the I Love You Stomp.
Gnar and Cricket are having a failure to communicate.	My brother and his adorable son, bonding with Cricket. (He's the nearly-invisible black cat in the kid's lap.)
These newbs look more like actual cats, in terms of the positions they lie about in, than any other neonates I've ever fostered.	Is it a shrimp? Is it a kitten? The world may never know.

INCOMING

Good news everyone! We have accepted a group of five six-day-old kittens! They are light gray in color, so taking pics of them will be no problem! Telling them apart, however, is another story.

Sometimes I just have to give my older kitties some love. Tayler is the cutiest.	Gnar couldn’t stay awake long enough to get comfortable.
Squish secretly loves it when the kittens use him as a bed.	Gnar, conversely, looks at it as his god- given right to use kittens as pillows.
This kitten had been laying on me, then he got too hot and walked off. He came to rest in this position.	First photo of the new babies!!

Clover keeps up morale

We’re still on the last couple of steps of converting the cat room, but since the progress is so incremental now that Branden’s not here to help, I'm pretty much out of pictures (lucky you).

Clover went on a cuting spree after we laid the floor in his room on Sunday. He’s really looking forward to moving in!

Special Edition: Cat Room Transformation—Day 2

First board is laid over the subfloor: 2 pictures from opposite corners.

Branden and Fletcher, hard at work. (2 pictures from opposite corners.)

OMG ALMOST THERE. (2 pictures from opposite corners.)

Done! The floor is laid! Now on to baseboards… (4 pics, 1 of each corner.)

Sorry no kitten pics (again) today, folks. But since I am suffering for my art, I guess you have to, too.

Special Edition: Cat Room Transformation—Day 1

Before any work is done.	Branden cutting the carpet at the doorway.
Carpet mostly up now.	Me, rolling a garbage bag full of gross carpet down the stairs.
Hey look, carpet pad!
All that’s left of the carpet pad is the staples that held it to the floor… and even those are going away.
Might as well paint while it's nothing but subfloor…
Pre-paint prep.
After painting! Hard to tell the difference from these pics, but it's large and looks very good.

Sorry no kitten pics today, folks. But since I am suffering for my art, I guess you have to, too.
