Awwww thank you. They are adorable, aren’t they? A week ago they did not have a prayer left on their own. Their mama was run over, so they were literally on their own.

Thank you, Yvette. Photoshopping myself out of the picture of me feeding the babies took longer than writing the tanka. That was hard! I used my negative space concept and I like the results. What do you think? Weird to see unembodied hands feeding two little kittens?

Hi – well

Come back and check the picture out closer – the first time around I thought it was someone to the right and someone else to the left!
Nice photoshop skills

Thanks. Mostly it was appalling to see how bad my neck looked. I fixed that, and then the rest of me looked bad, too – distractingly so. You couldn’t make out their cute little legs against the background of my shirt. It’s painstaking, but I was pleased with the result.

Thank you, Donna. It was fun looking through pictures and I found one of him and his brother, Baby who died many years before. Not many cats live 19.5 years.

Such sweet kitties, Marsha. What a handful. Freyja was 8 weeks old when we got her, and she was a handful (she still is :D). Don’t foget to add your link to Mr. Linky. ❤

We had to go out. I just added it and visited all the other links. I like having them all listed right there. It makes it so much easier to visit each of the participants.

I’m still mulling over themes, BTW. I haven’t emailed you because my life is crazy. We closed on our rental house for Cindy in Prescott TODAY! Vince is going to check it out and take care of turning everything on and hooking up all the necessary utilities and services n the next few days. I haven’t seen it yet!

Yes, we hope so. You are welcome to take them to Spokane! LOL They are adorable now. I have a couple more weeks of bottle feeding before they can be weaned. So far, no takers.
