LIVESTREAM: mother and new baby kittens

About
Eve is one of the 22,000 feral + stray + abandoned cats in Langley, BC. She was someone's pet, but was abandoned sometime in February. Luckily, she was rescued during our recent Unwanted Kitten Roundup. We are expecting babies in mid-April. Mom and babies will be spayed/neutered and adopted into loving homes.


The news is full of awful things right now, so turn it off and watch this livestream of day-old kittens and their mother. These little guys are being fostered by the people at tinykittens.com, where you will never run out of squee.

The cuteness makes my chest feel like it is being squeezed.

So I'm not sure if it relaxes me ... but it sure makes me happy ... and also sad that I can't get my hands on some kittens!

there may be more than one kitteh-daddy? Stripes, gingers, tuxedo? That had to be a great party.

That's how come their litters can have more than one father.

If you want to breed your cat, at least make sure only one tom is around. This way, you'll know who the tom is who fathered the kittens.

...the neighborhood crazy cat lady. We already have 5, and my husband thinks that is quite enough. He grumbles about cat #5, but his voice gets all gooey when he talks to him.

...this is a pretty good alternative. I love the "Eve and the Palindromes" designation.

Arora looks like she could be our 5th cat's baby sister. She is truly Aroradorable

I've been looking in on them every day. I sometimes rewind so I can see what I missed. And do you know there is another livestream that she has with a feral cat who just had kittens 2 days ago.

I feel like I know all these cats and kittens.

I'm loving it too.

Eve is such a beauty. You know what amazes me? animal instinct. I keep asking myself, how do the mother cats know how do do all this stuff they have to do. The feral cat is being a good mom too.
