Bean and Friends

Charlene's doing fine during these kitten-free days. She likes her long, undisturbed naps and enjoys having our full attention.

I'm sure part of her pines the babies.

Soon, Bean.   They will be here soon.  

In fact, we've pre-ordered a batch, and they will be arriving on Friday.   Oh, BOY!  You're going to love them!

Until then, let's take a moment to remember some of the kittens she's had the pleasure of mingling with.

  7. Laurie,
    I hope you don't mind if I post a signal boost here. I know everyone here loves their kitties and understand that we're in difficult times. There's a sick kitty who has learned to trust again after being abused who needs help.

  13. Bean is truly a remarkable cat! It's amazing how she adjusts so well to all the fosters coming and going, playing with her fav toys, taking up lap time with Mom and Dad...

  14. I always enjoy seeing the kittens puffed up when first approaching the Bean, but the sweetness of last one makes it forever a classic.

  20. oh, Laurie, I have been reading your blog for quite a while now but have not left a comment - until today. I did not think that my heart could be melted any more, but then I saw that last photo. It actually made me cry. Such love. Thank you for all that you do, and for sharing it with us. xo from Canada

  22. What a fantastic set of images -- thank you Laurie! And Bean!

    Now, how do I go about pre-ordering a litter of kittens like you two do? The IBKC Shop?

  23. BABIES!! YAY!! Lovely post of 'Bean pics, and I thought that was a Frost in the bottom picture. As always, thanks for the post!!

  24. I think the last one is actually lovely little Linus Medley, who may just be my favourite itty-bitty of all time. Such a wonderful picture of them!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Last photo is definitely Linus Medley. If you click on his name on the right and scroll through the photos you'll find it, along with a couple others that are just precious. It is one of my very favorites, it shows how amazing Charlene is and how much these babies love her.

  30. That last picture of Bean and Linus takes my breath away every time I see it.
