Two years ago we had a cobbled-together litter of kittens we named after Maine towns and called collectively The Mainers. That included these two…
Floofy ornj boy Dexter and his floofy tortie sister Millinocket (Millie).
They were adopted together – their people came down from Kentucky! – Dexter remained Dexter and Millinocket is now Mollie. And here they are now!
Mollie, sleeping in the paper recycling bin, as you do. Her little face is so sweet!
And here’s Dexter, being inquisitive on his climber.
They bathe each other all the time. Sometimes they bathe their big brother Angus. They are very much bonded. They still sleep in a pile…
Or next to each other.
Sharon also reports: They are still the sweetest, most loving little ones. Every afternoon while I work, [Dexter] snoozes with me. Mollie doesn’t meow much, but she trills a lot. They both like to help me with whatever I am doing. They are both so soft…
Can you believe it’s been TWO years? Time goes so fast. I sure do love seeing their sweet faces. Thanks, Sharon!
(Just a reminder that you can see their sisters Ellie (formerly Eliot) and Arwen (formerly Arundel) on Facebook. This time two years ago, we still thought Ellie was a boy. Mis-sexing kittens is a vital part of the Love & Hisses brand, of course.)

Benjamin’s hangin’ out with Mama.
Bugs shows off his Ears of Annoyance.
And Clyde shows off his.
Honey on the Fancy Sofa. It suits her, doesn’t it?
Cutey has a grumpy.
A family portrait, this time without Bunny. Why? Because Bunny was all “NOPE, BYE.” And then about 2 seconds after I took this picture, Lola also hopped the Last Train to Nopesville.
Benjamin’s dreaming of the day he can reach that ceiling fan pull.
Bugs is all “You can do it!”
That little trash can lives at the bottom of the stairs, and I hang dishtowels, dishcloths and cleaning rags off the side so they’ll dry while I’m waiting ’til I have enough for a full load. I took it upstairs the other day, and the kittens swarmed. Bugs climbed up the side and pulled it over.
Then he and Lola climbed inside.
And Clyde and Benjamin joined them. And much fun was had.
So if you’re wondering what to stock your foster room with, may I suggest dirty laundry and trash cans?
