BROKIE & SAYIF (R.I.P. - 12th of June 08)

See the kitten on the left? See what he is doing?

Sometimes my cat Oreo will do that very same thing.... on my legs!   

OUCH!!!

OOh guys! I AM a good photographer!...    No no, but the three kitties are very very photogenic! 

I have one more, but I have stopped taking 50 pictures a day now.. 

-> run, baby, run!...

David! It's not as bad as it looks! Actually when I play with and tickle the little ones, they 'fight back', but never scratching me! I am SOOO used to having cats and scratches, but these are very gentle.. That is until two of them try to crawl up my leg, while I'm standing in the kitchen..     Nosy little buggers!

Does this one have a bulls-eye on its side, or are my eyes playing tricks on me? This looks kind of like my cat, who has matching bulls-eyes on both of his sides (except my cat is ENORMOUS - not an ounce of fat, but very tall and long).

YEs! I guess! I did not know you called it that way. Actually the mother and this little kitty have one only. The other two have none at all..

Like I said, I would name one of the cats with the bullseye Robin (as in Robin Hood). If he is a boy cat, you could call him Robbie for short. Robin can be a name for both boys and girls.

More pictures..

More pictures..

Jude, You should blow this one up to the size of a poster and frame it!

I just LOVE that picture!   

[j.U.d.E.]

It died of Typhus.. Now I have to save the other two..

Can I cry over a kitten with everything happening in the world? I don't know, but I do.. It was the smallest and weakest one, but it did play-fight with its 'big' brother a lot and it was the one that came to cuddle with me most.. 

I posthumely baptize it Sama' -> meaning 'sky' in Arabic.

oh Jude, i'm so sorry to hear this. i hope the other kittens will be ok

Can I cry over a kitten with everything happening in the world? I don't know, but I do..

of course you can

Well, thank you Bel! I went back to the vet this lunch to have the two others vaccinated. The vet says she thinks they might be stronger and fight the disease. Incubation is up to 10 days, so I will know then.

The vet asked me if I wanted to see Sama' and I said yes.. It was already stiff.. I cried. The vet told me another kitten died a while ago and suffered for 5 long days. Sama' "fortunately" died quickly…  The vet has a huge grey tabby cat called Max, wandering around in her office. She said that Max stayed on top or in front of Sama's cage all night, so it did not die alone. It does make me feel a bit better, because yesterday evening when I had to hand over Sama', it looked at me like 'it knew'..
