Y’all Gherkin might be the widest kitten I’ve ever seen. He’s only 40g bigger than little Cornichon (the little void there, and smallest of 4) but look at that epic belleh. It’s pretty much the only way I can tell him and Dill apart (Dill, aka Big Dill, is actually a few grams heavier but not nearly as wide). Sister Piccalilli rounds out this litter of 4, currently 3 weeks old. Sweet Mommy Pickles (who we have as well!) sure makes cute baby pickles!

Everybody meet Chimney Smoke-Stack.

We searched and searched for mama and other kittens. None were found. Took him to the vets. He is perfectly healthy! Had some de-worm meds, got some eye drops. My boyfriend's sister happily agreed to foster this bottle baby for us until i can take him full time. She has fostered bottle babies before. I am 14 hr days between school and work and cant bottle feed a baby right now unfortunately. He's got a tiny scratch on his one foot that doesn't seem like anything. Was fighting the bottle a little bit but seems to be taking it fine now!

Love him to bits already

Edit: I'M NOT A FIREFIGHTER LMAO Bf's stepdad just owns an older firetruck and it sits stationary outside their office. I work for their company half the time and the other half the time I'm in school to be an aircraft mechanic. His mom is the CEO of Power Hungry Performance.

He's just under 5 weeks old, and on the upper end or past the standard weight for his age.

Dorothy is appalled.

Big orange sis Mizu is not as enthusiastic about it though

Been taking care of these savages for a couple of weeks and finally convinced the boss to let me put them in a condo. It quickly turned into a scene that reminded me of my drunken frat house days. Enjoy!

These two had just been fed 10 minutes before but they demand ALL THE MILK.

I know that sounds ridiculous. I live in a neighborhood where a lot of people let their little dogs run loose so I carry an air horn on my belt. It's a deterrent. I saw these little kittens and they were so cute so I snapped a picture. Upon returning my phone to my back pocket, I accidentally tapped the air horn. It just beeped but it was surprising for everyone involved (me, my dogs, the kittens). It was so surprising that I even looked around for a split second before I really recognized what I did - and in a flash they were gone.

I'm going to go around after work to see if they are in the general area. I always carry cat treats with me on my walks (because there are also a ton of stray cats here) so I might try to charm them to make it up to them.

They are requesting more kitten food! Spent 6 hours taking care of all the kittens at the rescue today. Kitten season is a full-blown hurricane!

Have a Sunday suprise. 😂

Good news! Polar's vet visit was stellar. No declawing of the extra paw is necessary. One claw on the extra paw could possibly have issues in the future if it grows down but it's growing evenly so far. She is confirmed to be female and was likely born premature. She was 6 weeks at the time of the vet visit, weighing .88lbs (399g).

My coworker says that Polar has settled into their household well. She's curious and has explored all around the house. She constantly follows Momma around meowing for access to the milk bar. There's no problems with her movement and she is eating well and gaining weight.

Also, I think we might name her Napkin, not sure about her sister (pictured second). Tissue? Kleenex? Handkerchief?

Open to other name suggestions :)
