It Truly is a Miracle I Get Anything Done

...when I am surrounded by kittens doing things like this.

Rhoda Darling asleep at the wheel.

Hubie, Francine and Rhoda Darling
They never, ever cease to amaze me.

I think I just died with my heart going "squish" with a loud side of AAWWWWHHHHHH....

Karen said...

I am just amazed you can let them go when they are ready to be adopted. I would become too attached.

Enid and Hester send their love, head bumps and nose licks to you and Charlene.

We know exactly what you mean - we (the DH and I) foster kitties. We never knew there could be so many fascinating, funny and special moments in each day. Fostering tugs at your heart strings but it is sooooooo worth it. We can't imagine life without fostering.

And we owe it all to the IBKC - it inspired us to take the fostering leap. Thanks everyone!

Toni said...

This batch is already brimming with cute and adorable. I can't wait to see them grow up and become cute little cats.

How did Hubie and Francine fall asleep in a heart shape? That's a Valentine's card if I ever saw one!

quite possibly the cutest thing ever...

My heart just melted. If you ever want to know how to live, just watch a kitten. Thanks for sharing these priceless photos! ~Mandy

Sidenote ~ Blixa was almost named Rhoda :)

It's tiring work being a kitten, all that playing with the round plastic ball-thingy....I'll just close my eyes for a minute....snzzzz

Wow, these are itty bitties. How old are they?

Marjorie said...

Just checking in before bedtime. . . Cleary the kitties beat me to it! My guys are about to snuggle up and we'll all take a looong nap dreaming of ittybitties!

s said...

awwww, they're adorable - I don't know how you get anything done either :)

minekatter said...

Aaaaaaaw! Is he sleeping in there? That´s soooo adorable!

Holly said...

OMG! I don't know how you do it, Laurie. It's truly too much cute for one person to stand.

dale-harriet said...

Laurie - it's been something of a rough patch around here, but let me tell you: if I begin to be sad, or weary, or blue - I come here, where the combination of the baby pictures, the darling captions - and the warm and delightful affection of the comments (THANKS, fellow commentors!) return me to balance. I say it every time: 1. How CAN each new batch be cuter and sweeter than the one before?; and 2. POSTCARDS, PLEASE??? :o)

Awen said...

Rhoda is doing a surprisingly accurate impression of me driving to work this morning.

Darlings is right! This bunch is especially special.

Dale-Harriet, bless your big heart. When I lost my Morgan kitty to cancer in April, the IBKC helped with the grief. This is a very good place to be during rough patches.

GrumpyBear in Blue said...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww. My kitten Vash (well he's 3 - no TECHNICALLY a kitten but he'll always be one in my mind) has just rediscovered the ball on a track. He'll completely forget about it for MONTHS at a time.
I think I'd die of cute-itis if Vash fell asleep like that!

WannaSmile said...

Stop it. Are you kidding me? Those kittehs are super duper cute!

scooterpants said...

now , if you continue to take such fabulous pictures how will you ever chose which ones will be postcards? this is a brand new batch and already there are at least 7 post card worthy shots! these little babies cant be more thatn 7 or 8 weeks old? maybe less? francine barely has her little 'canine teef'.
oh i cant wait for kitteh/butterbean interaction photos of this group!
well done Laurie!

AnnieR said...

Happy Friday everyone, Laurie thanks for bringing some kitten sweetness to start the weekend. I wish I could live the life of my cats...someone else already said it but they do teach us how to live ;o)

JC said...

Babies ... got to love them !!!

Marlene said...

Oh my gosh, the cute! THE CUTE!!! Thank you so much for sharing these images. To Awen and Dale Harriet, I totally agree with you on how that is. This site really brightens my day or time that I visit.

SMM said...

OMG, they are are all so cute. Love the passed out kitten inside the cat toy. So cute! I need my cuteness overload pillow...Thu-Ploof!

Anonymous said...

That is so cute! :)

kleinwort said...

Indeed... what they said! Sleeping in the toy slays me and the heart made mine melt!

Anonymous said...

You have GOT to be kidding me. This is a ploy to kill us all, I just know it. Falling asleep in her toy? It's MURDER, I tell you.

Good gravy I love this batch already. They are just too too cute.

erin said...

aawwww how cute

Darin said...

What I love most about these pictures: most of us cat owners have a whirly-ball-toy. How teeny-tiny the little girl must be, to be able to tuck her head in so sweetly!

Rhoda looks like she was counting to 10 for hide-and-go-seek but then fell asleep. That's fortunate for Hubie and Francine since it looks like they didn't get very far in the hiding process.

Jane Gallagher / Hostler said...

so so sweet

KatBoxJanitor said...

I love the hide & seek comment....it is all to likely with IBK's this tiny!
