Kitten Post for My Mum

I feel like a new parent.

Even though they've been with us only a couple of months, it's beginning to feel like Jack and Abby have always been with us. Nevertheless, I am constantly finding reasons to grab my camera and snap pictures of the kittens playing, sleeping, hanging out, etc. Everything they do is cute!

For instance, here's Jack, who is always adorable:

And here's Abby... (I woke up from a nap one Sunday afternoon and found her next to me, sleeping like this. Oh my, so cute!)

Jack again, this time sleeping on the desk next to me when I was working at my computer:

This picture of Jack cracks me up. When I walked into the living room, he popped out from behind those pillows on the couch, yet he's the one who looks surprised!

Abby again, with N8:
She LOVES Nathan. (She also loves Marie, my mom-in-law... so maybe it's a Winegardner thing? In any event, at least Jack is "my kitten"...)
And here's one of my most favorite pictures in recent history:
Can you find the sleeping kitten? (It's Abby, btw.)

Other cute things:
I don't have pictures of all of this stuff, but Jack and Abby have a couple of new toys they LOVE...
1. Fake mice. Nate pulled a couple of them out of a desk drawer the other day, and the kittens were instantly enthralled. They've sinced destroyed both fake mice, so I will have to find and buy more. Jack especially loved his mouse. He would pick it up in his mouth and trot around the house with it, then drop it somewhere and smack it across the room so he could chase it.

2. Fabric. I had a big square of spare fabric on the couch the other day. For whatever reason, the kittens pulled it onto the floor. They then discovered that it makes for a fabulous toy, and now they like to wrap themselves up in it and run around the living room.... Sometimes while also playing with the fake mice.

Overall, I'm a pretty happy "mommy". I love my kittens!
