Insane kittens rampage office! Tear around on floor and play, reducing
foster mother to giggles and histeria!

It's too much. They are hilarious. I wish the pictures captured them. They sound like little ponies trotting across the floor, really fast, and sometimes meowing at the same time, except it comes out like 'maaah rowwwwrrrmmm!'

1. I love insane kittens
My friend has a 13 year old cat who occasionally runs around the house like he's chasing some invisible mouse on amphetamines. It lasts for about 30 seconds, then he stops dead and returns to being his normal self. It's nice to see him still able to act like a kitten, if only for brief moments.

3. if it weren't for my allergies, this fostering stuff would be the best gig
ever. I have finally, begrudgingly, admitted to myself that I am now allergic to cats. dammit.

but, they are so wonderful and it is so worth it to know that they will have a better life.

I swear sometimes they are possessed or can see things we cant!

5. They're growing up quickly... Ah, I'd like the white one.
Unfortunately I'm allergic *sigh* We had a wild cat in our barn some years ago, and while she hid herself all the time it was a joy to observe her litter.

30. two white ones to choose from!
I sneeze on cue when they rub on my face. I only have them until they get fixed and adopted, so I live with the allergies. I can't have one permanently, since so my FIL and best friend are deathly allergic. Literally. hospital time if they get a big dose of dander.

they are so much fun though, wish I could have twenty!

6. I envy you so much
watching little kittens play is something I could do for hours.

Neighbors of my mom have two kittens. When I was visiting her last weekend I was standing at the window watching the kittens outside play. It was so bitter sweet. Made me wanna have a new cat again.

50. I wish I could but it is just not possible at the moment
My bf doesn't like cats and I am still working on him :) So I would consider it unfair to get me a cat without him knowing. But I plan for sure to get one later. I believe that even he can't say no to a cute furball :)

9. What a neat litter!
a black, a white and a calico! I love the calico!

Pad Thai occasionally runs around the condo at full speed. He did this so often when he was a kitten that he earned the name Tasmanian Devil from the girl who had him before me.

she bites my arm. This was done with one hand.

33. two white ones, actually!
squeak
cotton
Little Black Kitty (or LBK, or 'elle' for short)
and Cali (since I thought she was a calico too, still not sure since she has a ton of white on her belly, I get conflicting reports from calico/tortie folks. I may start calling her turtle)

16. FWIW My brother is allergic to cats; my vet recommended "Allergroom"
I don't know if he tried it yet on his cat, so I can only tell you that my vet recommended it - - and she's very good.

They're nearly nine months old. The tiny baby cuteness is gone. :(

44. that one runs like her back end doesn't weigh enough!
her back legs get away from her and she runs on her two front legs only. It's the funniest thing ever. I wish I could catch it on camera. the black one loves to arch, she walks sideways a lot!

36. Yay for you foster mom!
You're such a compassionate person for fostering. I tried fostering, and ended up with 7 indoor cats and 7 outdoor (couldn't give them up :( ) I love the "skidding" sound they make sliding around the hard floors and the little thumping "pony" sounds they make racing across the carpet!

Kitties are awesome! I'd literally go insane without my fur babies. Kudos to you for fostering :hug:

46. Thanks a lot, it is very rewarding work.
and it is work! I won't get to keep any, unfortunately, but this gives me a kitty fix every once in a while. I am so happy I can do it.

I volunteered with a TNR group in KY a few years ago, until one day (during the 'fix day') I had a violent allergic reaction to all of the cats, about a hundred or so were being tended to. I could barely breathe and sneezed my ass off. I ended up doing the cleaning of the surgery tools instead of tending to the cats. I am a strong believer in TNR, and do what I can to help the situation.

Here we go:


He's the man in the box:




Spoiled rotten, and he has the bed to prove it:




Much like a child, no matter how many fancy toys you buy him, he prefers the tissue paper they came wrapped in:

53. My friends chipped in and gave me a digicam for Xmas
Now every time I see the cat in a cute pose I run for it...

And that cat is spoiled rotten (he's not mine but I help spoil him). He has a bed, a laundry basket he uses as a bed, nearly a dozen toys and a raised carpeted window seat.

Thanks for the help fleabert...BTW, I love your screen name. It goes perfect with your cat loving ways.

usually the subject is flea, but the cats have gotten more attention as of late, she's very jealous!

flea has many nicknames, I couldn't think of screen name, so I chose one of them! thanks.
