Kittens!

My mother has been wanting a Siamese as long as I can remember.  Up until recently, we've only gotten 2 cats, one each for my sister and I as we were growing up and then family dogs.  Dad doesn't like cat hair and so hasn't really liked the idea of getting a replacement cat when both of us girls moved out.  But, mumsie has convinced him.  Dad's an extreme pet lover anyway, so we all knew that if an animal was brought home, he wouldn't be able to resist. :P  Mom looked around for Siamese kittens, but they're only really available if you get them from a breeder.  She found one breeder that had a litter several months ago and they were going to get a kitten then, but mom and dad are "female-only-pets" kind of people and all 5 kittens turned out to be male.  :P  But, momma kitty had another set of 5 recently, of which 2 are female.  Mom and Dad decided to go visit and I begged to go along.  The following photos and video are what resulted. :)

Momma and her babies. :)  Well, the 3 boys anyway.  We were monopolizing the 2 girls.

I'm really loving my triple neck here.  :P  It was hard juggling a squirmy kitten with the camera.

The two girls.  Mom and Dad chose the kitty in the light pink collar (the one on the right, whose collar you can't see in this photo).

Both girls were pretty easy-going and didn't mind being held and talked to.

She settled down into Dad's "thermally heated" hands.  She started looking pretty sleepy.

Mom and kitten in love.  I love this picture. :D

Momma kitty took a liking to me and came over to get some pets.

This is the daddy kitty.  Very sweet cat too.
