Squeee!!! They are so adorable!
I would have plotzed if I had seen a loose cat in my car especially a less than friendly one.
And another vote for start a blog. With videos.
You are making me miss the days when Baler (now nearly 4) was a baby.

They are precious!!
Love Jessie’s little toes!
Sooooo cute! So sweet! I’m not into human babies but show me a kitten and I’m all over it. 
Are all of the kittens tame and friendly? I don’t know if they might be more shy or spooky if they have a feral mom.

I’ve been handling them daily since birth, so they are very tame. I take them away from their moms about an hour a day to have some play time in the house as a group so they can get used to house sounds and smells (plus I get to snuggle them on the couch)!
They are getting to the age where personality is going to start shinning through in a week or two. Some are more vocal than others, but right now they are that great age where they don’t have turbo-boosted springs on their paws, but can wobbly-walk around. Pretty soon it will be hard to get any pics of them since they will be zooooooming around.

OMG, the CUTENESS! I can’t stand it!
As soon as I can, I’m going to start fostering kittens. I will be the worst foster failure of all times, but the CUTENESS!

Please please foster! If there is one message I can spread aside from the importance of spaying or neutering, it is how vital fostering is. Trust me, I’m not the ideal foster. I work FT outside the house, and I don’t have a spare room in my house. These 2 litters are kept in big dog crates in my garage. Is it perfect? Nope. But any rescue will tell you that they will happily take less-than-perfect over none.
Rescues get flooded with baby kittens and when they get full, they honestly don’t have a place for them to go. If they don’t have a foster lined up, the rescue can’t agree to take the kittens, so they end up back on the street where they will become feral and breed and add to the problem.
It is a bit of work, cleaning and feeding and weighing the babies everyday, but there are lots of resources out there to help, plus the recuse you are working with will help. My experience with the multiple vet visits is outside of the norm - most of the time mama kitty takes care of her babies and you just need to take care of mama and socialize those adorable babies!

I would love to be a foster but I would be an EPIC fail and soon I would over-run with kittehs. And there’s the idiotic schedule I’m on where I’m out of the house for 11 hrs.
Babies are the best - love them - love everything about them: the first toddly steps, the first poo on their own, figuring out how to play, how their tummies smell…sigh…
I love your stories and pics. They brighten my day.

I can do all of that - right now it’s just the space. I keep hoping someday soon I’ll be able to move into a bigger house.
ready for fresh pics?

Sweet sleepy Randal. I love his leg stripes 
Darn, I wish the photo feature was working. I feel like I am missing out on lots of cuteness not being able to see the new photos.

Same! @BatCoach the forum isn’t loading pics properly in the last day or two. So sad I cannot enjoy the kewt overload
Noooooooo! Pics won’t load…argh argh I am having withdrawals…
A bigger house is a like a bigger handbag - the larger it gets the more cats - er, stuff you have to put in it.

Glad it’s not just me - the emoji pics won’t even load on my phone. 
My new house (on the same land) is twice as large as the old dilapidated house was. Of course, since moving over, I’m now up to eight cats indoors, including the three orphans from a deceased feral mom cat that I took in just to get them healthy and well established and tamed, then settle them in permanent homes elsewhere.
Yeah, right.
But what else would you use space for? Of course more space equals more cats.
Loving the updates on the kitten crew, Batcoach!

Holy stacks of crap, Batman! 
Yes. As I type, I sit in a 10x12 bedroom with my bed, desk, about 300 books, and the inventory of my online shop (as there’s no place else in this tiny house to put it).
I dream of a house where I have a library/study, a room dedicated to my shop, and a bedroom that has ONLY a bed and a comfy loveseat in it! (And a beside table for books). And where the kitties have so much room to stretch out, play, and sleep that I never have to hear Sassy getting mad at everyone!
Somehow, I’ve made it work with the various #s of cats I’ve had. At 7, this is the fewest I’ve had in the house in a long time.
@BatCoach - we need more kitten pix!!!
