Here are the two Little Dears, staying very close today to "essential equipment" in case they should be caught short - well, one can never be too careful! (Click on image for larger version)
The two little dears now also have a name each - from Brigitte's suggestion, our Little Lady is now "Lily", whilst after my five year old niece's visit, the Little Chap is now called "Pippin"
A close second, "pipped" at the post, were the lovely names of "Oro" and "Argenta" - Gold and Silver in Italian, suggested by Diana, and I was also oh, so tempted by "Charles and Camilla".
Both babies are now happily galloping over most of Autumn Cottage - Lissie, meanwhile, sits aloft upon any vantage point she can find, and looks haughtily down upon them, with the occasional, half hearted hiss and growl - just because she thinks she ought to, not because there is any real malice in it. I suspect I might find them all eating from the same bowl in the not too distant future.
I leave you with Pippin, in training for being a Mouser, by "killing" both his felt toy and the nice, rustly piece of tissue paper by alternate attacks, ad infinitum. This sort of happy innocence is such a delight to see.
Hello Roz,
I was on your Autumn Cottage email list many years ago. I don't normally post here, but I thought, well, why not??
I enjoyed your pictures and descriptions of the kittens so much. I am like the commenter Diana though; now I will have to talk to myself all day long about the fact that I have three cats, don't... need... kittens!
I do read here periodically and I am always so interested to know what you've been up to and what's new at the Autumn Cottage. Come by and see me some time.

Great names! They're so cute!
My 3 kittens are a bit older (5 1/2), and it's as if I had 10 of them when they're playing! The mother is actually rejecting them, which is normal, and the 3 other adults take care of them : quite funny!
Congratulations for the garden! It's nice!

Oh, I just knew when you started the post with the pic of your lovely blue pots those little kittens would find their way inside!
I especially love the photo of them climbing on the back of the chair. It really lets one see the unusual layout of their kitten stripes!
Would you please be so kind as to explain your "vegbeds" Do you place them on the ground and use as raised beds without a bottom? I'm curious as to how those work in action.
