Momma vowed she wouldn't name the rescued kittens but taking care of them without names has proved difficult. So without further delay, let me introduce Pumpkin:
Momma's neighbor named this sweet girl. She is the oldest and likes to teach the younger ones how to get into mischief. She is full of energy, always chasing a ball, or wrestling with another kitten. When you pick her up though, she turns into a love-bug purring loudly. Here she is enticing Momma to give her a hug:
Next up is Tigger. He too was named by Momma's neighbor:
This little boy watches Pumpkin very closely and has learned to play and wrestle all of the time. When he finally tires he turns on the charm and climbs up on any person close by and wants to snuggle:
Then there is Milo who Momma named. This is the runt of the litter and although he tries to keep up with the others, he usually ends up climbing on Momma's lap and wants to be cuddled:
It doesn't take long for sweet Milo to fall asleep:
Speaking of sweetness, this is Gizmo:
Momma's neighbor's nephew named her. As you can see, she loves to be with people and get her belly rubbed. This little girl was the first of the kittens to purr and she hasn't stopped. She can often be found playing quietly by herself but if one of her brothers challenges her to a good tussle, she can hold her own! She always brings a smile to Momma's face even if she has to make one with her paws:
Steve was named by Daddy and he took a few more days to warm up to people. You won't find him playing with many toys but he loves to wrestle with Tigger and simply run around. After her eats, he insists on finding a lap to settle in and clean his little face. He's even starting to like all the kisses Momma gives although here he wants her toes:
Finally there is shy little Linus named by Momma:
He is the last one to eat and tends to observe what the others are doing until he feels compelled to join in. Once he gets started, he can wrestle with the best of them. Lately he has been climbing up on Momma's lap on his own accord and receiving his fair share of belly rubs and kisses.
Of course, when they get adopted their new Momma or Daddy will probably rename them but for now these little ones get lots and lots of love to go with their 1st names.
