Thankful for healthy kittens

I’m thankful for many things (although not so thankful that it’s almost 4:30am and I’m still up and on the computer), but one thing I’m definitely thankful for this year is healthy kittens!  Look at these guys—I looked at their photos from seven weeks ago and it’s like night and day.  They’ve grown *and* they look healthy.  I’m still confused about their ages, because they all must be at least eight weeks old, yet they seem younger—poor nutrition during their first two weeks of life really stunted their development.  In any case, here are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the top photo, and TJ in the bottom photo:

The photos are practically to scale, too—TJ is about one-third larger and heavier than his two siblings.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone—here’s a wish for no cat hair in the turkey stuffing!

P.S.  Here’s a wonderfully creepy Thanksgiving ecard my sister sends me every year, in hopes I have nightmares, I think.

  2. So cute!  They have such distinctive, angular faces!  I too hope one day there won’t be pet hair in our food, but don’t think that day will come for quite a while.

  3. Soooo toot! I just want to gobble them up! (pun intended).

    I too endeavor for a meal without fur. But I don’t think it’ll happen so long as my Beasts continue to breathe. I have all but given up on keeping fur off of clothes. That was a war I had no hope of winning. SO I stopped wearing black.

  5. The kittens look really good - you’ve done a wonderful job caring for them.

    We came through Thanksgiving dinner fur free - and the two kittens I gave to my mother this past June to offset empty nest syndrome have grown so quickly.

    Kittens just grow so fast when they are in a good home!

    Just ran across your site by way of the randomizer - gotta love that thing.

    BTW, I thought cat hair was a spice.

  7. The kitties are adorable and look like they’re bursting with personality as well as health. Your sister, however, is on drugs, as is the person who created that e-card.

  8. Wow!  This must be such rewarding work, Leigh-Ann.  I just love coming here to catch up on your kittens!  So adorable and nice to know you care so much about these little defenceless animals.  You are the Kitten Ambassador!

  9. Hey, Heather—do I know you, or is your visit here just a freakish coincidence?  I graduated from Eastdale in “The ‘shwa”, yet I don’t think I mention Oshawa anywhere on my blog, which I why I wondered if you knew me, or if it’s just a small world?!
