Foster kittens *cuteness warning!*

I don't come on the cat side often. I had the poofed kitten. I'm happy to report that he is loving his new home with his husky brother. I now have two 3 week old foster kittens. Their mom was a barn cat and was killed by a coyote when they were two weeks. She had four kittens two boys and two girls. I have the two males and will soon be getting the little girls too. They are too cute for their own good. My Basset hound Ole thinks they are "HIS" kittens. He cleans them, watches over them and when they cry he cries. Now on to the pictures!

Any name suggestions are welcome. Not 100% sure if I want to keep the names. Or if you have name suggestions for the females that I will be getting on monday. One looks like the mostly black one and the other is gray and white. Also any tips on litter box training them.
Hope everyone enjoyed!

Oh my gosh! So cute!!!:love: I simply put my kittens in the litterbox, to show them where it was and they used it.;)

AWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwww!!!!!

So adorable! The little Tuxedo...be still my heart!

Oh, as far as litter box training, you really don't have to do anything. Put the box out and show it to them. Maybe set them in it. The first set of kittens I had, I was so amazed at how they instinctively used the litter box. Use the clay litter for kittens though, not the clump stuff.

* falls off chair from cuteness!* OMG Is there anything more precious than a kitten? Look at those big eyes! Thanks for taking care of them!

Oh my! Hello, little kittens and way to go, Ole! I am terrible with names so I will just agree with happylabs-- awwww!!

Oh, how precious. :)

I don't know who enjoys them more, me or Ole! He is amazing with them. :love:

couldn't ask for a better "kitten sitter":love:

They're so adorable.:) The pictures of them with Ole sure are precious.:) I don't have any name suggestions. I hope they continue to thrive in your care. When they're old enough, I hope you'll be able to find them new forever homes quickly or will they also be barn cats like their mother was? Good luck.:)

WAY too cute!! Love the last picture in the OP, just adorable. :love::love::love:

You could always name them Bits and Pieces. :D Ole is just adorable! What a good boy he is!!!:love:

How sweet they all are. Ole just loves his babies!

Oh my goodness, the pix w/Ole are just adorable!

OCH!!! I'm in cuteness overload.

OMG how cute! Ole is so good with them. If you want to continue the science fiction theme, if you take the girls, how about Boomer and Starbuck (two characters from Battlestar Galactica.

What a bunch of cute little kittens. Your hound Ole seems to be acting like a foster mom for them, what a good dog , must be very patient. Fast friends already, that makes such a great picture with kitties all over him.

OMG! OMG! My heart melted and my eyes got teary with this one! How beautiful! :love:

How sweeeeeet the kittens are... and Ole too for being so loving with them. As for names, I would suggest names that are short and easy and quick to say. My cat's name is Luke and it's easy to say when he's being sort of mean to my little dog. Your dog is amazing with the kittens.

Big awwwww! I think it was about time that Ole got some kittens all of his won:)

Aww, they are SO cute!! :love: Ole seems to be a fantastic "mom" for them - how sweet! :love: :D

Thanks for all the wonderful comments! I'm sure Ole will need therapy when they go to their new homes. They will be house cats and not barn cats. They love attention and people too much to live in a barn. If money and space wasn't an issue they would stay with me. (2 dogs, 2 ferrets and 2 cats are too much for one apartment) This way also I could foster other cats and kittens.:)
I have a few people interested in the little boys. I don't think it will be hard to find them homes. The other night Ole refused to go to bed unless I brought the kittens to bed with us. He will be devastated when they go:( I will keep everyone posted with pictures as they grow!

What beautiful little babies!!! It looks as if Ole has already claimed them as his own :love: What a wonderful dog he must be, so patient and accepting of the two babies climbing all over him.

Could I ask you to give the kittens lots of lovies from me? And an extra special round of pets and lovies for Ole :love: :love: :love:
