feral kittens! oh boy! oh girl!

The family of a colleague at work has decided to foster abandoned and orphaned kittens and help them find homes, so they won't meet the awful fate we shall not speak of.
Joy of joys, two tiny ferals arrived yesterday, just three weeks old, a brother and sister, still nursing on little doll-size plastic bottles (which means getting up every two hours, every night...). One of the kittens (top photo) reminds me of Coconut the Cat, who recently moved to Brooklyn to live with my kids. The other kitten (below) is a bit of a bruiser; she looks like a little wooly bear!

These guys are a whole lotta fun! Some day I'll have better photo equipment to do the kittens justice; but for now, the point-and-shoot digital will do. Just look at those eyes! Look at those tiny little claws! Look at the eyebrows!

Oh, silly little kittens. This is the kittens concentrating very, very hard.

This is how the kittens look when they are hungry. Mew! Mew! Bon appetit, my little friends!
