Catberus, dread guardian of the sofaworld!
A poose puddle!
Maybe I should know this or google this or something, but I’m just going to ask. Is that an Ocicat? We have ocicats in our extended cat family, and we love them. Charlotte & Hamlet represent!
What a lovely pile of kitties! Thank you for sharing your family’s photos.
SQUEE!!! So cute!! I wish we could have 3 but our apt. lease limits us to 2 only. And we just rescued an abandoned calico lady kitty yesterday who is super sweet and friendly and oh so adorable but we can’t keep her. 🙁 Luckily, we’re likely to get her a home with a close friend so we can demand visitation privileges.
My thoughts on seeing this: “Okay, very funny, mom. Can you untangle us now?”
KarenX:
They are rescue cats so we know nothing of their heritage. You are not the first to ask if they are Ocicats though. We are pretty sure they’re just tabbies with a lot of spots, but who knows, there could be some Ocicat in there too! What’s been fascinating is that we were told they were silver tabbies, but now they are morphing into silver/grey/brown/ginger tabbies.
…that’s speaking of Talisker and Comet, the two on the left. Houdini is the older kitten on the right and she is a straight up tortoiseshell.
That’s no cuddle party—that’s a cuddle puddle.
Cubist @9 beat me to the “cuddle puddle” comment. Yes, that’s a cuddle puddle.
They are darling, but face it: they are kittens no longer.
Those are embiggened cats.
Well, Stacy, you are right about the embiggening. Especially Talisker. But they are all less than a year old, so I think that kitten is still a perfectly cromulent word for them… For another month or two anyway.
Aw, you two just like the word “kitten”!
(And who can blame you?) 🙂
I need a cat…
Jaime, EVERYONE needs a cat.
…or three.
