I am worn out.  I need a babysitter.  These 4 are VERY clingy.  Last night, they nearly suffocated me.  The wanted to sleep on my face.  Today, I can't sit anywhere without having, not 4 but six kittens glued to me.  Winnie and Jasper have decided that I don't need to be alone. 

The good news is that the 4 kittens have taken naps with Jasper and Winnie.  So, they have joined that clowder.  Molly gave all 4 a thorough bathe first thing this morning.

I have named one of the striped kittens D'artagnan.  The other striped one really is almost spotted and looks a lot like a cheetah.  I may call him/her Cheetah or some kind of Cheetah name.

These are the most loving kitties I have ever owned.  Even more so than Jasper and Winnie and I didn't think that was possible. Nothing feral about this bunch. 

Cheetah is my heart.  (That name doesn't quite work but he DOES look like a cheetah especially when he stops and is looking at something intently).

I am going to name the near solid gray one Scout and the black one Harper Lee. Great names Ms. CG!  They seem to fit thus far.  Especially the black one.  The name just sounds right for him/her.

I don't know what sexes they are but even if the  sexes are wrong, I plan on keeping these names unless I come up with something better.

Hopefully, I will post more pics this week.

You are telling me.  I had a lot of trouble uploading the pics with a slow connection.  I left out the picture of Cheetah. He's my heart.   I just realized it this morning.  D'Artagnan and Scout are the only ones pictured. 

Harper Lee looks just like Winnie did except Harper has a very definite tabby coat underneath.  Winnie has no visible, even subtly, tabby spots.

Cheetah is a winner.  All of them are.  They are all loving things.  Fun, funny, and seem to be very smart.  Thus far, they are in Magellan's league for athleticisim and that is rare even for cats.

Now, that I am at work, I miss the little tykes.

AWWWWWW!!!!  I bet!

Okay, a lot happens in a day.  Molly is nursing Cheetah.  She is bathing all of them.  Magellan is grooming Cheetah.  (Cheetah is a winner, I'm tellin' ya.). 

Ms. CG,

All four do perch on my shoulders.  Last night, they all took a nap there.  Also, last night, while reading on my counch,  I had Molly curled up to my feet and all six kittens curled up to me somewhere.  They were too adorable.
