Gandalf's Playmates [redux]

May 8, 2012

matiescat says: About a week after I got Gandalf, I also received another litter of kittens to foster. They were a bit older than Gandalf though -- shame, he was so tiny, and even though he tried his best to play with them and keep up, he got the short end time and time again. It did help with his physical development though to have the other kittens to play with and mimic, so it actually worked out perfectly. And he did get a good kitten cuddle in every now and then! All four of the other kittens were home within a month, going to forever homes in pairs.

So utterly adorable! I used to have a cat with similar grey and pale orange markings like the one at the top of this shot. They are all gorgeous, would take them home in a heartbeat!

Must have been a lot of fun to watch these kitties grow and get stronger.

I had to check on Gandalf again. He is a darling and I think this is him in this photo. Even a few days can make a difference in size and coping ability. Pretty sure he has the markings of a Turkish Van. And the love of water. The other kitties make a Mother's Day bouquet!

The kitty in the back has such a cute expression! Like, "What you looking at?"

Must be some sort of kitty hazing ritual, pushing his face in it:) Cute kitties.

Such a cute group of catties. They all have such beautiful markings. I am glad that the four were all adopted and went in pairs, which is the best thing I think.
