Ramblings-n-Writings

Aren’t they the cutest? This is their 5 week photo with mom watching in the background.

See the little orange guy trying to start trouble by batting his sister’s paw? That guy is Buster. He was originally Mouthy because he meowed a lot and quite loudly for such a little thing. But then his name changed for good reason:

Once the kittens started getting active, I had to barricade sections of the house to keep them contained. Yeah right. Buster busted out of every area we made for them. (See where the name Buster comes from?)

It’s kind of comical too because Buster was the last kitten born, but he’s the first to do everything – usually days in advance of his siblings. He’s been eating regular food for well over a week already. The others are just starting to show interest in food. He was the first to climb out of the original kitten box (the sides were at least 12 inches high). He was also the first to successfully navigate the barricades (flattened cardboard box propped against wooden box and large pack of paper towels – about 2 feet high). I seriously pity the person who adopts him since he’ll be hanging from the curtains in no time at all! =)
