I'm a Cat Tree

.... apparently. At least I am according to the eight kittens in the spare bedroom. What am I doing with eight kittens? Apparently word got out that we are welcoming to single mother kitties. Awhile back, we were feeding a mother cat that had made a nest next to the storage shed, and watched the kittens grow up and wander off on their own. One of those kittens returned, and had a litter. At one point, we noticed that the kittens seemed quite distressed, crying in hunger. Perhaps mom was just off hunting, but by the end of the evening they were just out crying in the open, so we thought that something had happened to the mother (we were later told by the neighbor that they saw the body of the cat that had been hanging around out in the orchard... another animal had gotten her).

And so, we took in eight kittens.

Freddy - a solid tabby that reminds me of another cat we used to have, who was very lovey, big, and active

White Foot - a tabby with white feet, and very playful

Broken Tabby - a white chested tabby with a white stripe connecting across his shoulders, he's one of the two smallest kittens. He takes more breaks than the other kittens during play, but he kicks their butts when he does play. He was also the first to try climbing my leg.

Blue Eyes - A very fluffy cat with full brownish-blue points, lovey and randomly starts licking while attacking/chewing another kitten or person

Colonel Sanders - A siamese-ish looking kitten with a couple of white stripes on his face looking like a mustache, very active and startles easily.

Grey Ear - predominantly white with some markings, most notably a grey right ear. Very talkative, very lovey, loves being pet.

Disco Stu - Similar markings to my SIL's cat Stewart, solid black with white toe-socks and white spot on his chest, he's our little "badass". He's the biggest and strongest of the kittens, plays quite rough, and likes to wander, sometimes twittering to himself as he goes.

Cali Girl - A mostly-white calico, she is the other small one of the bunch. Not shy, but not outgoing either, just kind of reserved. She seems very neutral to things, very cute, and she has the softest hair of the bunch.

And they think I'm a big chew toy/cat tree :D
