From the Archives: August 31, 2007, the Little Four

Twelve years ago today this is what the Curious Quartet looked like, just about one month old, and they’ve totally trashed their playroom once again. I’ve been intending to share photos of them from their first months every few days and totally failed in that, but I can still share the cuteness of a day with black kittens and their mom now and then.
You’re not going to show that one where they’re nursing while I eat, are you?
Well, Mimi, I felt really bad for you not ever being able to get a bite to eat without kittens nursing from you.
That’s all well and good, but I look horrible. And that one where I look like a beached whale and I’m showing every nipple on my belly?
Mimi, you are one cat who no one could ever describe as a beached whale. You’re just having a rest while your kittens admire you.
Do you have to?
In the interests of total disclosure, yes.
I’m so embarrassed.
Mimi, everyone knows that’s not what you look like now. Everyone will be glad you’re not having babies anymore! And you are beautiful!






Photos From the Archives and Vintage Photos
Photos pulled “From the Archives” were taken by one or another digital camera of mine between 2002 and, well, yesterday, but usually they are older than that, and I had never had the chance to feature them. Vintage Photos are from my film archives back to 1983 when I purchased my Pentax K-1000 camera. They’re a fun way to “introduce” other members of my feline family who came and went before I began blogging, and to illustrate my feline family in general from days gone by.

They have to do everything in groups of three, or four…or five. A friend gave me a new bed for them, and this is the result, four of them in the bed immediately, even if they don’t all fit. Jelly Bean is laughing because everyone is lying on top of him. How can I tell them apart? Well, look at those expressions! Read more and purchase.
