The Mayor of Kittenopolis (dialup warning)
(I posted this earlier in the DU pet's group, but like many DU groups, it's been SLLLOOOOOWWWWW lately. If you've got a star, consider giving your favorite DU group some love today)!

Here's Oberon, the Mayor of Kittenopolis ( or as he prefers "the King"):



He is ever watchful over the young citizens:



It can be a demanding job, as kittenopolis gets pretty rowdy at night:













Sometimes the Mayor just has to join in the fun:



But when the partying is over, the Mayor soothes the savage little beasts to sleep:





Long live the Mayor of kittenopolis!

7. Awww, thanks. He's a "foster dad" in this instance
but the kittens are fluffy enough to look related!

12. They were dropped at our rescue without mom. I'm guessing that they
Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 03:27 PM by Lorien
are part Norweigan Forest cat or Siberian? A little too round for Maine Coons..:shrug:

Those two are going to their new home on Friday (their sister died of panleukapenia :-( , but at least these two survived ). Poor Obie is going to miss them!

6. No, they're some of my foster kittens
he's neutered, thank goodness! He still has a thing for kittens. More paternal than a Michael Jackson syndrome. ;-)

20. that reminds me of a funny story....
My three male cats insist on sleeping with me at night. The females generally don't, mainly because they don't like sleeping with other cats, but "the boys" do. So the other night I was struggling to get comfortable with three hot little bodies pressed against me and weighting the sheet around me like shrink wrap so I complained "jeez, I've got more boys in my bed than Michael Jackson...."

17. Oberon deserves to be king
He is the most regal cat I have ever seen. So cool that he likes to be a foster daddy.

27. Kittenopolis, indeed! Gorgeous photos!
and glad to see you posting, I had not seen you on here for a while and was wondering what was up.

Obie and the kitties look wonderful. He is really a big teddybear, isn't he?
