Does Regina have her mouth on the kitten in the pie plate? More pics please! I love it when mamas carry their babies…
She did have her mouth on the baby in the pie plate, but I didn’t get any other pictures. If I’ve made a kitten mad (or scared) enough to get a mama involved, I take it as a chastisement; I moved the kitten back into the crate and apologized to Regina!

OMG! The Fakers made Cats Beavers and Ducks!!!
They certainly did! (I LOVE that blog!)

OK I guess I’m an ignoramus. What is a cow kitten?
A mostly-white kitten with black or gray spots, like a cow.

I just saw the list of possible foster names, and I was totally amazed because a good number of them are names I have actually used for some of my previous fosters! I’ve had an Apple Jack, a Cocoa Puff, Cheddar, Sunkist, Popcorn, Pretzel, Nacho, Dorito, Penne, Ziti, and Tortellini. I think it would be really weird for me if you ended up naming a new foster one of these… I’d always be thinking about my previous foster!
I think that the cereal names and pasta names are popular ideas – I’ve seen many a Ziti and Penne. And cheese names for an orange litter is a popular idea, too.
For those of you who are interested, I finally compiled a list of all the names y’all have suggested (and names that Fred and I came up with) and put them together in a very long list, which you can see here.

So the Pie scratcher/bed arrived five minutes ago, and three minutes ago, Precious had curled up in it and claimed it as her own. Magic! (Although the next size up – if it existed – would suit her batter, her motto is ‘if I fits, I sits!)
One question – Do you have any idea what is in the little foil packet attached to the paper liner? That’s me being curious – whether it is silica, catnip oil or some treat, I am just going to trash it: clearly Precious doesn’t need it to to be attracted to the bed!
The description on the Amazon page says that it’s catnip, but I think it might actually be Silvervine. (Connie did a post recently about silvervine.)

I was wondering how old Mama Sheriff was. I love her little face which reminds me of my Sadie the Grumpy Ole Lady who is 17.
Sheriff Mama (Kara) will be 9 years old on April 1st! (You can see her page here.) That means she’s been with us for 8 years (she was guesstimated to be about a year old when we got her). Time sure does fly!

I have a question for the cat crew here. Anyone ever had a cat lose a claw? I think she damaged it, because she’s been limping for a couple of days, but yesterday I noticed it had come out entirely. I think it hurts, but it’s clean and shows no signs of infection. Should I take her to the vet?
I haven’t had a cat lose a claw, but I’d get her to the vet just to be safe.

I’d really love to see those pictures of the flying cats. I forget who it was but I think one was orange? Thanks!
There are some flying kitten pictures here!

I know that kittens can’t really see all that well when their eyes first open, but I swear Ken Adams is always looking at me!
“Hi, Mama! Hi!”
“Oh lord, where did all these children come from?”
Not the best picture, but I wanted to make sure y’all admire Susie’s goatee.
Feeding time from above.
Poor Regina. She’s clearly thinking “SIGH. Is it time to wean them yet?”
Bert Macklin (laying on his side, stretching) and Princess Consuela.
“Don’t make me come over there, lady.”
There goes Ken Adams, laughing at his own joke again.

Yeah, I think we’re going to need side-by-side pictures of Joe Bob and Regina so y’all can see how much they look alike!
