The little foster kitties I’ve been posting about are still with us. They haven’t eaten enough cheezburgers apparently. They have to gain a few more pounds before they can get spayed/neutered and go up for adoption. They are hanging with us until then. Here’s a rare shot of them looking sleepy. (Usually they are a blur of hyperactivity.) Squee!

Thanks @Chris for capturing this adorable picture

Remember last Friday when I brought home these sweet foster kittens? I am happy to report that their colds are clearing up nicely, they’ve gained a little weight and they’re running around my house playing and sounding like a herd of elephants. Here are some new photos of the little guys, enjoy:

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I’ve been on vacation. Actually, I was away getting married to my long-time girlfriend. That is the reason for the lack of new art and updates here and on Facebook. Getting ready for your wedding can keep you busy, no matter how small you try to make it. Anyway, the exciting news is that we’re home now and we are fostering three adorable and mischievous kittens! This post is going to be very heavy on the pictures and videos because I had too many favorites to just pick one.

I also have a mischievous kitten story for you guys. The littlest of the kittens is a tiny calico girl named Laura. She weighs about 1.5 lbs (and that’s a generous estimate.) Saturday morning I went to check on our kittens and Laura was nowhere to be found. I totally freaked out. The kittens have been living in our upstairs bathroom, frolicking in our large empty bathtub and skittering about under the toilet. There aren’t many places for them to disappear, but this tiny Houdini had certainly managed to make herself scarce. I wondered if maybe she’d snuck out when I opened the door.

I woke up my wife and we called all our friends, enlisting them to tear apart our house for the better part of Independence Day. We worried our adult cats had gotten their paws on the missing kitten and eaten her. We worried the missing kitten had scurried into a vent somehow and was lurking inside our walls. We pulled appliances out from their corners, we left treats out hoping to entice her back. It seemed hopeless, and I dreaded fessing up to the SPCA that we’d lost one of their charges.

Around dinner time I went to check on the remaining kittens, and what did I see out of the corner of my eye? The missing kitten! I only caught a glimpse of the little fiend, but I definitely saw her. She’d been in the bathroom with her brothers all day. She disappeared as fast as she appeared, but I noticed that she had run behind our pedestal sink. I checked behind the sink and discovered there was a small cut-out in the porcelain where the pipes go in. I reached inside and felt something soft and fuzzy. The hideout was so small that only Laura could fit in there, and I was barely able to get my hand inside to pull her out. Luckily, I was able to get her by the scruff of her neck and pull her out. I duct taped the entrance to her hideout and returned her to her brothers. Hopefully that was the last of her disappearing tricks, but whoever adopts this kitten is definitely in for some trouble.

Anyway, trouble or not, the kittens are too adorable for words, so here are some pix and videos. Enjoy!

We had a nice weekend here in the mid-Atlantic. The rain let up a bit so we could take our foster puppy for a long walk and check out all the pretty cherry blossoms. We returned the foster puppy to the SPCA Saturday and she’s already been adopted! We had no doubt, since she was as cute as she was mischievous. After we returned the pup, my girl said “We are going to clean this house like a murder scene.” It took the rest of the day, but the house is now immaculate, and our cat is delighted to have the place to himself again.
