A2 this picture is for you. It is amazing that these two cats still like to cuddle together. I rarely see the four of them snuggling. It is always these two and the other two alone. Huck is not afraid of the dogs anymore. He finally stopped running which took the fun out of the chase and the dogs lost interest. Tom is aloof now . He comes in when it is cold but sleeps by himself. Huck demands attention. But... IF Tom is allowed to sleep in my room he will smack the nightstank drawer pulls at 5:00 am so that I get up and let him outside. I don't have him in my room very often. urghh.

Mrs. Mitties and her babies


Our babies are so cute. The one in front is the runt. He/she almost didn't make it. It wandered out of the cage one cold night about 10 feet. When I found him he was so cold that he couldn't move. I held it about 15 min in front of a heater and very slowly an arm then a leg would move. Once it was warmed up the kids and I held mama and he nursed like he had never eaten before. :) It is amazing that the cats didn't get to him first. The one directly in front of the runt is the mammoth baby. It is literally twice the size of the others. We call it Helda. Hopefully it is a girl so we can breed that one.
The long and short of it....... they are way too cute to eat ..... then they pee a lot, eat a lot and make a big mess...... which makes them look like they need to be in the freezer!!
