Cat pictures by the girls

Pardon my blunder, these pictures loaded in the reverse order in which I wanted to post them. This window doesn't appear to have "cut and paste".

Haru on a car-u. As the littermates have gotten older, their muzzles appear more square and their ears seem shorter than when they were small. Or else they grew big ears first, then their faces caught up. The kitten faces look like miniature Egyptian cat deities.

Haru and one of her brothers annoying the dog next door. Fortunately for them Jenny is in the house!

Bob hates pawprints all over his car. But Chirpy loves climbing all over cars.

The kittens as the girls found them in June. They named the mother Midna. She disappeared in the beginning of October.

Art assemblages by Rachel-Blogger frame crops the pictures, so click on them for the full view (plus Photobucket promos), especially for Neku! He is hiding, as usual, in the right pane of the picture. Rachel's :3 is a kitty smiley face.
Terra Terra, the heaviest one! And the most social too.

Photobucket Zack has a thin line of white hairs under his chin, to distinguish him from his brothers.

Neku Unless you have food or are Rachel, Neku has no use for you.
Unless we're really close, all the boys look alike.

Haru The beautiful Lady Haruhi that breaks men's hearts. Only Neku is more shy than she.

Alfina/Chirpy She moved into the littermates' house around Christmas. And she's much more affectionate than Terra. Besides squeaks and a very quiet purr, her call begins with a hoarse 'chrrr' before breaking into the 'rrow', hence the "Chirpy". She answers to Chirpy, too!

  1. Cute kitties... and I now understand the names. I have a special fondness for black-and-white kitties. Haru reminds me a little bit of our MooMoo.

  2. Maria said to remind everyone that Haruhi means 'spring day' in Japanese. Also, the character Hatsuharu (from a manga book) is under a Chinese zodiac curse...and turns into a spotted ox when weakened physically or emotionally, or hugged by a girl. Moo!

    The girls' first pictures are dated June 1, so I figure they were born in May. The vacant house next door hadn't been mowed or trimmed since last fall, so they had plenty of places to hide in addition to under the porch.
