[smokey the elder]

AWWW. so-o-o-o-o CUTE!!:D

[mina'smomma]

Oh they are getting so big and adorable.

[jenluckenbach]

I couldn't look at the kitten pictures because I was blinded by the whiteness (of the legs) in the first shot! :eek: (LOL....sorry, could not help myself) :D:D

Kittens are very cute.

[QueenScoopalot]

SOOOO CUTE!!!! I shipped a bunch of mine out to foster dad Larry's spacious place so they have more room to get around. There's a major baby boom about to hit (and hitting) so the more I can get out, the better for me. I love the potty pictures Donna! Only on PT do we post pictures of peeing babies LOL! :D :D

[catnapper]

That does it! Send me this one!

MINE!!!!! :)

[Logan]

Oh Donna, they are just adorable!!! I'm drooling, here!!!!

Tomorrow, I'm going to pick up a loan package from one of my customers. There is a precious female there that gave birth to 5 babies week before last. I'm going to take my camera so I can get some pictures of the babies. Thankfully they are all spoken for, including the mama (who I fell in love with right away). Otherwise, I'd be begging Scott for just one more.

Love those babies, Donna!!! :)

[Orca]

Adorable! They have gorgeous blue kitten eyes!

[Karen]

What sweet pictures, those babies are just precious! And it's great that they are being to be spunky, too! Gotta develop their cattitude along with everything else, don't they? Kisses to the kittens! And Skritchies to Mommacat, too.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Awwww they're all so adorable. I'm in love with the grey one though.:D

[dukedogsmom]

They are so cute! That one black one looks like he's got real cattitude. I like the gray one, too. They look like they've got some Persian in them.

[moosmom]

That does it! Send me this one!

On the way!!!

[moosmom]

chocolatepuppy,

You don't live that far from me, ya know. If you're serious, he/she is yours!!!

[moosmom]

Seriously everyone, if you DO want a kitten and we live close, just say the word. I'd rather adopt them out to PTers and know they'll have great homes.

PLEASE????????

[Barbara]

Again: if I didn't chat on another continent I'd be stealing them all. SO sweet:) :) :)

MINE!!!!! :)

Well....you know, Slick.....that's not entirely out of the question. Donna isn't that far away from me....and I could bring him to the BBQ for you to take home......? Then I could pick him(?) up a week or two ahead of time so I could have a kitten in the house again....for a week or two....maybe that would help break Terry of his silly two only cat rule. ;) :D

They are absolutely adorable, Donna! You must be having so much fun with them. :D

[Laura's Babies]

Lets see, 5 weeks old and I was gone 4 weeks so they were a week old when I left.. Look how adoreable they are now!

FUN! FUN! FUN! Kittens are so much fun!! You have to be in heaven! I so envy those of you who have new kittens and get to have all that joy!

PLEASE???????? I would love to. I don't know where you live though. I'm in Maryland, but I have friends/family in Florida, Ohio, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia and New York if any of those are near you!

[moosmom]

SP,

We can always do some kind of transport. I live pretty close to Toledo, OH.

Let me know and you've got the pick of the litter, SERIOUSLY!!

...and I'm in Toledo...if Donnna brought to me, I could transport to ???

You've got the 1st two legs covered!

[christa]

I just love a kitten's baby blues! So pretty! They're all so adorable! I'll bet you're having a blast with them!

[Samantha Puppy]

If we could work out a transport, I'd love to have one! :)

HEE HEE.....we have created another cat-aholic! :D:D

[Samantha Puppy]

Shhhhh... don't tell anyone! ;)

I guess I should mention a kitten to my husband, huh?...

... NAH!!! :D

[moosmom]

Samantha Puppy,

ALLLLLLLLLLLL RIGHTY THEN!!!! :D:D:D Take your pick! I've got a fat, fluffy grey boy with 7 toes on his front feet, a black female (the smallest one who is such a sweetpea!!) with 7 toes on HER front feet, another black male with normal toes and a black female, medium SO SOFT fur (can't remember how many toes). I love them all!!!

The only thing I expect is that they be spayed/neutered, indoor only, updates on his/her progress and...absolutely, positively NO declawing!!!

Your hubby is gonna fall in love INSTANTLY!!!! I might suggest Reilly (the grey male). He's becoming a real lap kitty.

They'll be ready in about 2-3 weeks.

I am SO excited!!!

1 down, 3 to go! Anybody else?????:p :p

[Samantha Puppy]

Hmmm... I don't know. I currently have two boys. Do you think adding yet another male would be okay? Sushi is around 9 months old and Kirin is around 8 months old. I don't want any dominance issues. Kir and Sush seem to co-dominate, neither seems interested in lording over the other, and it's very pleasant.

Any animal in my house gets spayed or neutered, no questions asked. They are definitely indoors only as we live too close to a fairly busy road. Updates would be absolutely no problem. And I would never, ever put any animal I loved through the pain of declawing. So we're set there.

Now if we can just work out a transfer from Ohio to Maryland...

[moosmom]

Kittens are easy to incorporate into a household. It's when you try to bring in an older male that problems MAY occur.

I think Reilly would be a great addition. He's such a sweet little thing who loves to sit in my lap being petted while the others crawl all over me like a jungle gym. But if you prefer one of the others, please feel free to let me know. I'm just glad I know he'll have a wonderful home!!

I'll post a thread about a transport needed to see who we can get. I can go to Ohio with no problem. I'll just need to make sure I don't have to work that night.

Thank you so much for adopting one of my babies! It puts my mind at ease.

[QueenScoopalot]

With some polydactyl kitties, some have claws in between the toes which need CONSTANT checking! I've rescued a few cats with badly infected feet from inside claws growing into the paw pads. Congrats to Samantha Puppy on the 1st pick of the litter! :D :D :D I'd probably go with a female to not offset the harmony in your home. ;)

I love them all!!! I'm open to any of them really (though what QueenScoopalot scared me a little with the polydactyls...), I just would like to hear from more of the cat people what they think would be the best match. As I said above, Sushi is about 9 months old and Kirin is about 8 months. And don't forget I have a soon-to-be 3 year old dog, too. She varies between 50-55 lbs. Will your kitty be okay with that?

[dukedogsmom]

As far as which kitten to choose, I would listen to Donna. She made a great match with Doogie.

Don't be scared of what I said, just something to be aware of. I've had many polys come through here, and all you need is a good pair of nail clippers for kitties and to keep an eye on those (possible) extra claws. Not all polydactyls have claws between toes. ;)

[moosmom]

Samantha Puppy,

The kitten will be fine with the dog because she's young and will grow up with him and adapt. She'll probably tease the hell out of him too, but that's the fun part of having a kitten.

Either female is a great match. I fed them some more Iams canned kitten food mixed with KMR. The littlest one, Sassie went to town on it. So did Sophie. Reilly on the otherhand (the grey male) is still a boob man (mama's boy). But it's early yet. Another week or so and they'll all be weaned.

Sophie is the fluffy black one (normal feet I think). Oh, take both, will ya??? They're small. Even I can't choose between the two girls!!!! They'll be good company for each other!! ;)

[smokey the elder]

once in a great while if there is an inner claw between the double paws it may need to be amputated. That is the ONLY time declawing should be done!

I hope you take the little mite. I'm a sucker for poly's; I had poly kittens two summers in a row and none for two years.

[Samantha Puppy]

I think I can convince my husband to get one more, but I know he won't go for two! I would in a heartbeat though! *sigh*

Val said that you made a great match with Doogie, so I trust you to make a great match for me as well... They're all adorable... I wish I *could* take two! Reilly is adorable, but a fluffy little girl would be nice... I don't know! Will they all keep their blue eyes?

[emily_the_spoiled]

Since we are talking about arranging a transport to the Maryland area I want to find out a little bit more about the boys.

I already have 2 males and 2 females, so I think another male would probably be easier to introduce to the hoard.

I can assure you that my furry ones are thoroughly spoiled, fixed, and restricted to the indoors (except in a harness)...

[moosmom]

All kittens are born with blue eyes, then they change. But not sure when. If you'd like the little girl, I'd recommend either one. Sophie is softer and fluffier than Sassie. But Sassie is the one with the 7 toes. I guess it depends on what kind of fur you prefer. If it were me, I'd take Sophie.

I knew Doogie would be a good match because of his laid back temperment. When he first got here, MooShoo had Doogie on his back as if he was saying, "Yo Dude, she's MY purson, got it?? I run the show around here, got it???" Doogie was looking at him like, "Everything's cool man!!" That was it! He just fits in anywhere!! It was the best decision I ever made!!

[Samantha Puppy]

Cute story about MooShoo and Doogie! I can just see it now. :)

Okay. I'll take Sophie. One obstacle down, transport to go! :)

[moosmom]

Okay. I'll take Sophie

Cool!!!

We've got a couple of weeks to set the transport in place.

[Samantha Puppy]

Sweeeeeet... :)

I think I may have to find a Japanese name so Sophie matches Sushi and Kirin. :D Oooooh, can't wait!

[moosmom]

:D:D:D:D Me either!

[emily_the_spoiled]

Donna, did you get a chance to look at my earlier post??

ETS

[sirrahbed]

Donna - I have SOOO enjoyed this birth, delivery and now precious follow-up pictures. If I were your neighbor - I would be at your house;)

[moosmom]

Hey Debbie,

Come on down!!! I DO believe in EVEN numbered cats, ya know! ;);) You only have 5. How about another one to make it an even 6?? :p

[moosmom]

Emily_the_Spoiled,

I'm so sorry, I didn't till just now! Well, I've got 2 boys and a girl left. Duncan is black with specks of white on his ears and legs. Reilly is a beautiful, fluffy grey boy with the 7 toes on his front feet, and 5 toes on his rear feet. Take your pick, girlfriend!!! Maryland is near Washington, right? I told you I'm geographically challenged. :p

[jenluckenbach]

OH!! This is so exciting!

[moosmom]

So far we've got:

Me doing Michigan to Toledo, OH

Cincy's Mom will go from Toledo, OH to Cincinnati.

What's next???

What's next??? Oh yikes. That's a totally different route than I was putting together. We'll need someone in West Virginia... Is anyone near Columbus, OH.? Cincy's Mom could maybe meet someone there, instead of Cincinnati (it doesn't seem like any big east-west routes coming into/out of Cincy) and hit I-70 East out of Columbus towards Pennsylvania.

I dunno... I can't really do much 'til we get somewhere near Maryland - Hagerstown, MD to the west or York, PA to the north... :(

Why don't you ask Johanna (cataholic) if she'd drive a ways from cincy to ????? Since she lives right there. Find out IF and then to where she might be willing to go. (Tell her I sent you.....hee hee)
