TCC: Baby Love

Baby Love from the PDX pride

Thank you to Sammy for organizing this "baby love" day! It's been wonderful seeing the baby piccies of our fellow tabby kittens and friends! This is our first post as members of the TCC, so we'd like to introduce ourselves. Tabby is 9 years old, Rori is almost 8 years old, Little Bit is 7 years old, Starla is around 8 years old, and Tigress is 3 years old. Rori and Little Bit are half-sisters on their dad's side, and Starla is Little Bit's cousin. We're all very excited to be part of this club! If you want, please come visit us at our blog: Furry Tails of the PDX pride.

Now, on to those baby piccies! :)

Tabby at 4 weeks old with brother Carbon (5 weeks old), a few days after we came to our forever home.

Rori at 4 weeks old with Mommy Erin, just minutes after Mommy Karen pulled her out of the middle of an old tire in the neighbor's yard. Mommy Erin had seen me and my brother running across the street!

Little Bit as a baby, probably about 9 weeks old, eating from the feral cats' food bowl on our back porch. At this point, I "belonged" to the neighbors.

Little Bit's sister Baby Chiba (now an angel kitten) and our cousin Starla (whom we adopted) at the same time as the picture of Little Bit was taken. We came from the same "home" as Little Bit. Starla was about 7 months old at this time.

From left to right: Hemming (adopted to a new home), tabby & white boy kitten (went missing as a kitten), Mama Leopard, Miss Marble (now an angel) and Tigress. This photo was taken on July 22, 2011, when the babies were about 9 weeks old. Leopard was about 2 years old.

Little Bit's baby boys, all grown mancats now and adopted to other homes: Kai (off exploring already), Little Guy/Tiger, Squishy, and Cloud. This photo was taken when they were three weeks old and came to live with us to be fostered.

Baby Wally

Hey everybuddy! It's me...Wally!

Can you believe I was ever this itty-bitty?

Check out those feets!

And this is me when I first came to the Island to live.

Which, by the way, will be 11 years ago tomorrow.

Happy Gotcha Day to me!

Baby Love with Cosmo and Ling

Thank you Sammy, for hosting this fun squee worthy event!

Cosmo : Whisky and Mommy were walking around the playground behind the house when they heard tiny mews coming from the drain. The both of us were in the drain, tired from the mewing and dehydrated from the heat (we were too small to get out of the drain on our own). Mommy picked us up immediately and brought us home. This is one of the first photos of us (August 2, 2008)
Ling : For some reason, Cosmo found it comforting to sit on the *hot water bottle*. MOL!

Ling : We were quite terrified of Mommy and Daddy and Whisky at first. We would hiss and hide from them so Mommy decided to just sit in the bathroom (our *room*) and read so we could get used to her. It took several weeks before we could relax in her presence

Cosmo : And then we learned to play :)

Cosmo : Ling escaped from the room one night and Mommy couldn't find her for hours! So that is why we wear collars with those big noisy bells!

Cosmo : By now, we were allowed to venture out of our room and were quite attached to Mommy and Daddy. We also learned that Whisky was a kind, loving woofie sisfur and we warmed up to her too!

Ling learning all about the World Wide Web

Ling : Did I mention that the reason we were allowed to stay was because of me? I HISSED at Daddy the first time he saw me and he fell in love instantly (he had told Mommy he didn't want cats when she told him about finding us). MOL MOL MOL! I love my Daddy!
