This morning Doug told me that Hilary’s kittens’ eyes are open. I decided it was time to take their first pictures.
Hilary hasn’t moved them from the spot in the corner of Doug’s closet
where they were born. Her mother, Silky, didn’t move her litter
after they were born, either. Doug took the kittens out of their
nest and set them on a pillow at the back of his bed, then he got the
camera for me while I stroked their fine fur and made silly cooing
noises. Hilary was anxious. She was moving back and forth
over them and it was hard to catch any pictures of them without their
being obscured by their mother’s body.
After one of them, the one I’m calling “B” until they tell us what
their names are, rolled off the pillow to general consternation and
distress, Doug put them back in their nest and Hilary went in after
them. “A” is the one next to Hilary, the one with the most white
fur and the most distinctive markings. “C” is the runty one
beside A, and has the most uniform coloring with only shadowy tabby
markings.

So from what I can gather you live in Alaska in a trailor? GIRL you are living my DREAM!! I want out of here. O*U*T of H*E*R*E. Husband wanted a trailor in the desert I told him its the mountians or leave. Now we have to raise the kid and then I can go to my mountians. Sigh

Adorable little Allergy Death-Bombs. That’s when they’re at their deadliest – they can sucker you in closer, then they smear dander all over you!
mmmmmmm… kittens.
Awww, I so love felines! They’re so sweet with silky-like fur. Glad to hear your roof is all done, not as big a task as before. Forgive me for taking forever to get back here–life has been happening. Take good care.
Ooooooooh baby kittens…!
awwwww …
All babies are adorable, but kittens rank very near the top in cuteness. Congrats!
so… which ones are ya gonna keep?
It’s when they’re tiny little kittens that felines can almost sucker me into wanting one. Damn the allergies!!
Cute kittens! Congrats on the roof, too.
aww…
Like the other folks said–awwwwwww! That pretty much sums it up.
Can’t wait to see pics here of my guys!
New life is so comforting and beautiful. Makes me feel eternal.
So, SuSu, I thank you for gracing my site. It is a pleasure to meet you. We seem to possess similar understanding, though I am just beginning to understand. If you have not, and when you have time, please read my entries on God and superstring energy (they are on the left-side panel of my Xanga). I’m terribly curious about your response.
I love your blog. The quotes are some of the best I’ve seen. Your comments on my site were right on. RYC: the truth be known, I actually don’t care what others think… I just must be a little politically correct, unfortunately, because I’m applying for a teaching job, as an ER doc, at a big academic center. There may be people snooping around. Jeez, I sound a little paranoid… lol. I’ll remove any such disclaimers, if/when i get the job…. then the complete me will be heard. I love the quote from your site: “Any idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.” —Oscar Wilde—. Inspiring thought.
You were right on about Angie and me too.
Thanks again. I’m glad we are now connected. – Tony
