Kittens, Anyone?
There are lots of fun things about living on farm, but one of the best things is baby animals.
On the 3rd of July, our house/barn cat Tootsie had a litter of kittens. What an adorable bunch they are! When Tootsie has babies, we always pick up and hold the kittens at least twice a day from the day they are born so they will make good pets for someone.
Is that someone you? They turned 7 weeks old today and are officially ready to go to good homes.
They were born outside in one of our outbuildings and have been outside the whole time - but we work hard to socialize each one equally so that whichever one is the shy one in the litter comes out of her shell.
Toots is a wonderful mother and teacher. She makes sure that each kitten is prepared to make its way in the world so she begins with hunting lessons and tree climbing lessons.
It’s fun to watch her climb 3 feet up a tree and then look down and her assembled kittens as if to say, “See? Do it just like this” Then down she comes to show them again.
There are two of the longhaired cream ones (the other was playing in tall grass, and I didn't have time to goof around trying to get her picture). They are identical sisters.
The fluffy grey one and the shorthair strippy grey one are males.
They are eating solid food and really well socialized.
