Mike, post-bottle. And he’s…
Out!
The Mama Pie (my favorite!) is looking a little sassy today.
Now it’s 6-kitten pie!
Gus was sleeping, but the instant I took his picture, his eyes flew open. I don’t think his brain was engaged, though.

This girl was born to pose.
Lalo’s a handful and a half.
Nacho, Gus and Saul check out the view.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
Francesca, Gus, Lalo, Nacho and Saul are 3 weeks old today! (Mike is 17 days old; for newer readers: Mike is not genetically related to the other kittens, he was found left behind in a hay bale, and since he was just a few days younger than the others, he came to us. They – and most importantly Mama Kim – accepted him immediately.)
TJ (formerly Fergus) and his brother Kevin were very pleased to hear that TJ’s littermate Roger was adopted over the weekend! Aren’t TJ and Kevin a gorgeous pair?

Mama Kim Wexler is really good at starting a story, but has a little to learn about telling the WHOLE story. She’s easily distracted/bored.
In honor of being 3 weeks old, Francesca gifted herself a shiny set of toofers. The better to chomp her brothers with!

Mike’s supplement feeding follows a very strict protocol:
1. I tell him to come get his bottle, and he toddles to the mouth of the crate.
2. He eats (sometimes a lot, sometimes just a little.)
3. He gets burped (not shown, because I need both hands to hold him and pat him on the back.)
4. He falls into a milk coma and I am required to rub his belly while he snoozes.
Lalo is the quintessential Cup of Happy.
(His eye is fine; he had just woken up and was still trying to figure out what was going on.)
Good night innernets. (Ignacio/Nacho)

Hi Robyn, haven’t written in a while but I absolutely LOVE your BB/Saul fosters! Your pictures and comments are so clever and the work and adoration you have for all your kittens and permanent residents is amazing. The new fosters are perfectly named as far as their personalities develop so far! Thank you and Fred for everything you do. FYI, I rescued a five year old female last week and we’re getting to know each other. It’s a process, as you kno. Her name is Riley and she’s just what both her and I needed. So, I won’t be coming to visit/adopt from Milwaukee! If I can figure out how to upload a picture of my new housemate, I’ll send you one. Thanks again for your photos and hilarious commentary. Lindsay
Awww, congratulations on your new family member!!
question for Friday (or whenever): Your lovely backyard picture of Khal made me wonder, did Fred get his peach trees? Do you have a veg garden, or a tomato patch? (Your potted flowers are beautiful, btw!)
What a great shot of kitten teeth!
I know you’re all about the wiggling ears and babies bottlefeed but that tail is just going nuts. Too cute
