Kittens!
Relatively recently, we discovered that the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have animals that need foster homes. We took three kittens off their hands five weeks ago and they're to be returned in Friday. It's been a wonderful experience and one that we will definately be repeating.
These chaps were part of a litter of six whose mother had a fatal encounter with a car.
The three musketeers are...
General Gorman - so named because of his disdain for episcopacy. He is often covered in food.
Johnny C - a quiet, watchful kitten with an interest in toy soldiers.
Savage - the smallest and fightiest of the kittens. Savage is definately their leader.
And then sleep.

How on earth will you be able to give them back???
ReplyDeleteWe took three because we knew giving them back would be difficult - we won't be able to deal with five grown cats.
DeleteWhich is not to say that it will be easy...
Conrad Kinch,
ReplyDeleteYou are an old softy after all!
You have done a great job looking after these poor animals. Well done!
All the best,
Bob
Shhhhh...,don't tell anyone.
DeleteAdorable . . . how can you turn them back in instead of keeping them?

I've a heart of stone.
DeleteAll together now - 1,2,3.... Aawwwwwww, aren't they cuuuute!
ReplyDelete'Fightiest' - I'll think I'll borrow that adjective!
It's a good one - I stole it from Savages wife.
DeleteThey look wonderful! We are currently scouring our local animal shelters for a new kitten and look forward to the joy it will bring once we adopt. Very eager to see our young son's reaction.
ReplyDeleteBest Regards,

Good show. There's nothing like a cat to put manners on a youngster - they are no respecter of persons.
DeleteWonderful pics :-) How can you part with them after 5 weeks? We also have 3 kittens (was supposed to be one, but you know how they get you!). Anyway, a heart warming post, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I also have a Commands & Colors Napoleonics blog, should you care to pop over for a look (and a glass of whiskey in my case) it's at:

A most enjoyable and entertaining blog you have here Sir, thank you,
Lee.
Thank you for your kind words Lee. It won't be easy to give them back.
Deleteloved the names you gave them, trust their characters reflect those you named them for, in particular General Gorman covered in food but surely that should be drink!!! as for Johnny C being quiet not a hope
ReplyDeletewell done in giving the kittens a good start in life
cheers Old Johnny C
They look very cute.
ReplyDeleteThat sofa is doomed though! Claws beat fabric every time.
I'm afraid I would not have the strenght to hand them back - would just turn into some sort of 'weird wargaming cat man'
ReplyDeleteConrad Kinch,
ReplyDeleteYou have gone up even higher in my wife's estimation for looking after these three kittens. When I showed her the photos all she kept saying was 'They are so CUTE!!!'.
All the best,
Bob
PS. We would love to have another cat, but our current two – Old Boy (AKA You don't live here) and Jazz (AKA Princess Cat) – would be very incommoded by an addition to our household.
I'll add my "awww", too. Good job and cute kittens!
