These three beautiful kitties were part of a litter of four (their brother Midnight is hiding somewhere) from our barn cat, Gizzie. Cinder was the big man on campus, fearlessly swatting at our 140lb akita Bear and trekking into the vast depths of our basement. Rumour was the nut case, flying about at top speed, twitching in pure energy. Whisper was our quiet little girl, hiding timidly when she was separated from her siblings or the safety of a warm lap. Midnight, black as night, refused to sit still for any pictures, and consequently we have no shots of his wonderfully emotive face. All of these amazing kitties moved to new homes once they were old enough, and we miss them terribly.

This is when Melman was only one month old. It was her 1st time in the grass. Melman is actually a girl, but since she has a twin named Gloria it just fit. Her only brother is Mufasa, but they also have 3 other siblings: Chi, Gloria, and Kiara. All their names are from Disney Channel movies like Kiara, and Mufasa is from the lion king.

Chester is one of 4 kittens I am fostering for the Dane County Humane Society. He loves tummy rubs and fishing pole toys.

This is Liam the lover. His favorite things are sleep and eating. He purrs like a locomotive and has a very sweet disposition.

This is Percival the protector. When they came to live with me Percival would stand guard while the other kittens ate. He will still issue corrections for bad behavior when he sees it. However I think he has come to trust me to take care of all of them now. He loves to be held like a baby for hours.

Chapo is a kitten found on the roadside. He is very happy now.

This is little Banjo, my favorite of my cat Ava’s litter.
