Welcome Kittens!

My kittens have finally arrived and I'm officially a foster mom for kittens. I have five at the moment. Two of them will go to another foster tomorrow. But for now I have five 6-week olds running about. Currently they refuse to go into their box for bedtime and are instead happily sitting on the couch with me and attacking each other and my leg.

There are four solid black (or dark brown) ones and one tabby kitten. Three of them are males as far as I can tell with two females. As they didn't have names, I named them as follows:

Mungojerrie
Rumpleteaser
Rum Tum Tugger
Bomballerina
Skimbleshanks

Skimble is the littlest and I think he's the runt of the litter. He was crying all over this evening and now I have him cuddled in a pile of pillows. I tried to get them all to sleep in a box but so far no luck. I'm hoping I don't have to stay up all night or sleep out here in order to get them to sleep. I may end up sleeping on the couch. I got up for a second and four pairs of eyes opened and looked at me like "mommy? Where are you going?" I have been adopted.

It's sad to think that on my birthday they will be two months and eligible for adoption. I love them already. But do not fear. I will not be adopting five kittens. I knew I'd be giving them up when I got into this.

I'll post some pictures of the adorable tomorrow. They are SO cute.
