    Ivy

    We took in an abandoned mother cat and her five kittens from the Humane Society and fostered them for ten weeks. They would always crowd into this fuzzy cat bed and sleep all cuddled up together. On this day, we were able to get them to all look at the camera at the same time–no small feat!

    Here dear, have a pillow. You need to get a Cute Overload Airbag (COA) Pipa’s Mum invented them. Then instead fo Thud you can go Thu-ploof and be back up in an instant!

    These babies certainly are thud worthy!

    There’s always gotta be one in the bunch that has to be different. Judging by this beautiful bunch, I have a hunch Ivy is yet another beautiful blackie.

    Good morning angel!
    And G’morning all TDKers to come! :)

    This reminds me of the movie The Jerk, when Steve Martin starts the movie saying “I was born a poor back child” then later it shows him in shock and crying when he is told he is, actually adopted.

    What a great picture! Imagine being able to get 5 sets of eyes to look at the camere all at the same time. They sort of made a kitten-flower, with the blackies being the pedals and little stripey in the middle.
    What a wonderful way to start the day! (Ok, I’ve been up for hours, but I don’t fully wake up till I look at the kitten of the day on TDK!)

    what a beautiful ‘bunch’ of kitties. if only i had more room, finances, and maybe someone to help a bit, i would take them all in a n.y. minute. they are adorable. you are a great hearted family to foster them until they go to their furever homes. all best wishes.

    Oh, I keep coming back to this one since it was posted. Such a cute band of kittens - maybe a “band” like TheofromCO suggests. In any case, brings a smile to my face to return here.
