We are eight weeks old!

We are foster kittens and are getting so big! Our foster mom lets us run all over the house--but we mostly stay upstairs because we know our way around. We met her two cats, who hissed, but like to watch us play from a safe distance. Our mama wants nothing to do with the strange cats downstairs!

We can jump so high, and climb everywhere. We go into the spare bedroom down the hall where there are boxes to climb and a big window to look out of. The window in our room is too high for us and only Mama can jump up there (but we do look longingly for a way to get up there, too!) We found some dry leaves from the plant in the spare bedroom and they are great for carrying around. Everything is a game, and everything is a toy! Here are some pictures Foster Mom took this week:

There's nothing more fun than having a group of kittens around. And I have a special place in my heart for yellow tabbies.

My own two cats are aa 12 year old long haired black female, and a three year old ginger male. He's sweet and playful! The female gets teased and chased, but puts up with it pretty well!

But they grow up so fast.

Are you going to keep any of them?

I already have two (3 and 12 years old) , and not ready to adopt any more at this point. But probably will have more fosters before the season is over!
