A cuddle pile (and Tina’s keeping an eye on me.) Richie (left), Sydney, and Carmy. Jeff is at the milk bar.)

Tina takes a break.

The cuddle pile, again.

Sydney would like you to know that Carmy makes an excellent pillow.

And mama’s back!

It’s hard to tell from this picture, but Carmy was rolling around on his back licking his paw.

Carmy curls up for a nap.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.

I know I’ve been focusing pretty hard on Carmy, so let’s get a good look at his beautiful new mama, Tina. She’s about 1 year old, is pretty small (Huntsville Animal Services lists her weight at 6.3 pounds/2.86 kg; I have not weighed her yet, but have no reason to believe they’re wrong), has beautiful green eyes (that photograph as gold depending on the light). Her fur is very silky (with a few small missing patches; I’m sure she was loaded with fleas when HAS got her), she likes to be brushed, has the LONGEST tail, and has opinions on every little thing.
⁠
She is very protective of her kittens (all four of them!) but more in a standing-nearby-looking-worried way than a smack-the-lady-for-being-so-handsy way, which I appreciate (look, I don’t TRY to make the babies cry, but they’ve gotta get weighed!)⁠
⁠
She is PLAYFUL – I tossed a toy across the room and she bounded after it. She likes to pull toys out of the basket, and she is partial to catnip. I don’t know if this is her first litter (at 1 year old, it could be!), but she is doing an amazing job of keeping them fed and clean.

If they’re not nursing, all 4 kittens are nearly always piled up together like this. Here we have Sydney (serving as a pillow for Carmy), Carmy (serving as a pillow for Richie), Richie, and Jeff.

Now that she (and her kittens) have been with us for several days, it’s time for an official introduction to Tina! She’s a silly, sweet, playful, talkative girl who’s doing a wonderful job taking care of her own three kittens and Carmy as well. ❤

Oh MY, is that four-kitten pie (which happens to be my favorite!)? You only get THAT in the very fanciest of restaurants! (Richie on the left, Carmy next to him, Jeff on the lower left, and Sydney checking out the pie crust (she approves!))

Good night innernets. (From left: Richie, Jeff, Sydney & Carmy.)
