A ridiculous amount of pictures....*cuteness warning*

So brace yourself - there will be a lot of pictures in this thread!

I haven't posted in a while because last Wednesday, 21 foster kitties arrived at my house, along with our new kitten Cheddar, who we are so happy to have after waiting a while for him! He's awesome. The 21 kitties promptly took over the house - so I was a bit busy! They are all gone now, except 2.

Shortly after they arrived here, one of the kitties, Paintball, passed away. The vet said that he thought it was something congenital, and that the stress of the transport on her little body probably caused the congenital defect to act up. She never showed any symptoms - just died. It was heartbreaking. I have the 2 other kitties from her litter here still, and I'm watching them like a hawk to make sure they're ok, and they seem to be just fine. I'm just keeping them here for a week or so as a precaution, and to allow them to get a bit bigger - they're TINY right now. So, without further adieu, here are the pics.

Hope you enjoyed them!

the funniest pic could be a contestant for the puuuurno thread! LOL!

love the pics! i bet you're having fun with all those adorable babies!

I'm glad you put a "Cuteness Warning" on this thread because it really needed it! :D
Your two dogs are so good with the kittens, they both really seem to have a strong maternal instinct.
I love all the kitten pics, my favorites are the little tuxedo kittens, Oreo, Tippy and your sweet Linea. :)

What great pics!!! I love the fact that the pups are so good with them! Those tiny ones really look like they need to stay with you for awhile just to be on the safe side. Poor Paintball... that was the dilute tortie, right?? Poor little things have no idea what is going on and stress is just too much sometimes on their little bodies.

Glad Cheddar has joined the family! Yay!! What a handsome guy he is!! He looks bigger than Linea... is he? Max is turning into one handsome little dude!

:eek: I think I died and went to cuteness heaven ;) Talk about adorable!! What little snugglebugs!

Hehehe, I am sitting here with a HUGE grin after looking at all those photos!

Gabriella is going to be a handful for someone, wow, what a FACE!

Sorry to hear about Paintball, RIP little one.

Cheddar is WONDERFUL and just LOOK at his paws, he he.

Max is GROWING.

aki, I should enter is huh?? LOL! I died laughing when I saw that picture!

VermontCat, Lucy especially is very maternal with them, especially the babies. When they are out roaming around, she keeps them very close to her and licks them incessantly, it's really cute :)

Jenn, yeah, this was Paintball

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e6...Paintball1.jpg

I feel so awful that he passed away. I don't think there is anything that I could have done to prevent it, but it still really upsets me that it happened "on my watch". We buried him in the back yard with a little rock garden about him, right next to where we buried Commodus when he died. I figured they can keep each other company at the bridge.

I'm definitely keeping the babies here until I'm 110% sure that they're good to go. They're acting totally fine - playing, eating like pigs, fighting with each other....but just to be safe, I want them to gain some weight and show me that they're healthy.

Cheddar is a lot bigger than Linea - he's a big boy!!! He's about 12-13 weeks old now, and he's just HUGE! He's really long and has lanky legs. We love him to pieces and he's fitting right in here.

I really enjoyed the pictures! I just love to see cats and dogs together. Yours all seem to get along so well.

THAT SUCH A WONDERFUL SET OF PHOTOS AND I LOVE LOVE TO SEE THEM AS A SLIDESHOW.
ITS SO EASY TO DO ON PHOTOBUCKET.

It is so nice to see dogs & kittens get along! Now if we can only get humans to do the same!! :rolleyes:

I love all your picturs and it looks like you are having a blast taking care of all the kitties! Or should I say your dogs are having a great time snuggling and playing with the kitties!

I loved all of the pictures.:D They're all so adorable.:) I'm so sorry to hear that Paintball has passed on.:( RIP sweetheart.:(

Cheddar is huge compared to all of the other new kittens and he looks like he's lived with you for a long time since he's fitting in so well.:) I sure hope that the other 3 little ones with continue to thrive in your care. Good luck.:)

Its great all your critters (even the fosters) get along...thanks for sharing! :D

Thanks everyone!

My dogs really do enjoy having all the kitties here to play with :) They're both normally pretty bouncy and wiggly, but around the babies they get pretty mellow and watch where they're stepping, it's cute. I really am lucky that all of my animals enjoy each others company so much!

KrazyaboutKatz, Cheddar definitely dwarves some of the other babies! Sissy and Tippy, the 2 tiny ones that are still here, are 6 weeks old, but they're TINY, even for 6 weeks. The rest of the fosters who were here ranged from 8-11 weeks, so at 13 weeks now, he's the oldest :) He's a good boy, and likes to give hugs and head bumpies. He reminds me so so much of his brother, who we lost :( He even has the same funny personality quirks, which I love.

Awwww! They're all so cute! How could I pick a favorite?!? LOL @ that pic of Cheddar getting frisked by the dog. Looks like she's saying something like "Hey! That is unwanted physical contact!"

My cats love the laser pointer too. They go absolutely NUTS whenever I get it out. And to this day, neither one can figure out why they can't catch that darn red dot. :p

I love that picture of Cheddar!! He's yelling "This is sexual harassment and I DON'T have to take it!!!" lol

Him and Lucy LOVE each other - every time she's sleeping, he seeks her out and curls up next to her, or on her. Sometimes he even waits until she lifts her head up, and then scoots under her chin so that when she lays back down, she's laying her head on him - he really likes that :D

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww, so much cuteness :) !!!

Little Cheddar is the cutest little orangie I know :)
And, what a funny nose Baily has, lol

All of them look so adoreable!

I don't know how you do it! I would not be able to get anything done. Way too much fun to just sit and watch those adorable kitties and the watch doggies!

These must be the sweetest doggie-with-kitties-pictures I have ever seen :D

Oh my gosh, there are so many kitties that I dont 'know who to comment on lol, all I can say is that they are all adorable! And I just love all those pictures, so cute! Also, I'm so sorry for your loss of the one little kitten. Let's just be happy to know that he is now at peace at the Rainbow Bridge, but its too bad that he didn't have a life on earth:(

It's very good that you still have the other two, keep growing into to big healthy kitties you two:D
