We will miss you kittens

Having kittens at our house has been fun. I have been so worried about what we were going to do with 6 kittens. Would we be able to find homes for all of them? Would they be at our house forever? They are 6 weeks old today and are finally old enough to start going to good homes. Last week I decided to give KSL classifieds a try and see if I could find any homes. Within 4 hours all but one were claimed. I had to tell people they weren't quite ready to go because they weren't eating enough solid food yet. We do have three that will be picked up on either Christmas Eve or the day before that. Cute little Christmas presents for people.

I also braved taking all 6 kittens to a kindergarten class and to a second grade class. For the sake of the kittens I did do it on different days. Both of the classes sure enjoyed seeing them. There was a little trauma when a kitten would scratch. Kittens don't know how to do anything but scratch with those sharp little nails.

Last week when they all got claimed I was a little sad that they wouldn't be around. It is amazing the difference a week makes. Those little stinkers are everywhere. A couple of times they have hidden so well that I started getting worried. Their messes are getting bigger (luckily they are mostly in the bathroom, but still!). They are still as cute as can be, but it is time for them to move on.

  1. So cute! I've told Tyler many times that I would love having a cat or a dog if they remained puppies & kittens & were born house-trained, but since both of these things are impossible, we probably won't be getting either one. ;)

  2. Ahhh...so glad you've found homes for your kitties, but sad that I didn't make it over with Tate to see them! Maybe you'll have a few left next week?

  3. So cute. The black one with white paws and bib reminds me of my gray and white Seuss (though Seuss is 16+ pounds of snuggly goodness, LOL).

    Here's my boy, as a kitten, and grown-up:
