There are more pics of my niece's Russian Blue kittens at

http://mia.daug.net/kitten4.php

Next Sunday they will be 12 weeks old and most of them will be going to
their new homes then. I wish I had time to go and see them one last time,
but I don't, so have to make do with the pics.

PS Forgot to say that the yellow thing they are playing with in the final
pictures is a thing sold for Walpurgis. It's a stick with a lot of paper
streamers at one end. You're supposed to wave it about and it makes a
swishing noise. Have no idea why you're supposed to wave it about, maybe to
scare off evil? The kittens seem to have enjoyed it. ;o)

Are you kidding? The very first thing that would come into my mind on
seeing a stick with a lot of paper streamers at one end is, "Cat toy!!" :)

Those kittens are so cute, Marina. They're at that perfect age. I love
all the pictures you have of them playing.

Yes, of course, they are excellent cat toys, but that's not their original
use. :o)

Thanks, but I can't take credit for the photos. My niece took them, she's a
much better photographer than I am, and she has a much better camera. I
can't believe the one where the kitten is sitting with its head cocked,
looking straight into the camera and smiling! You'd think it was
photoshopped or something.

Yes!!! That is SUCH a great picture.

My favorite (well, I have several - so, *one* of my favorites) is the
one of Dalasi lying on top of a bunch of yellow streamers, looking a
bit play-frazzled, with one ear cocked to the side. Also, the one of
Dalasi cuddling next to Kasper - Kasper's looking down (with eyes
closed, maybe), while Dalasi is looking up, straight at the camera.
Also, Dukaatti and Dalasi cuddling on the couch together, with one of
them lying on its back, is very sweet. Hmmm, there's a theme here -
Dalasi is in all of my favorites. I guess he's just a photogenic kitty!
(Or is Dalasi a girl?)

Apparently she is a girl (all the kittens were named after currency - these
are their official names). Dalasi seems to be the one that my niece calls a
"blonde". At least she's pretty. ;o)

Dalasi may be a blonde, but she's a smart blonde.  They're all adorable
and how have you managed to get past there without sneaking one in your
hat?  Dalasi would be missed to soon, but one of the other ones...

Those kittens are so cute.  I have to remind myself of the various
problems with kitten stewardship in order to talk myself down from an
attack of raging kitten fever.  Please thank your niece for the picture
show.  I think I've forced every member of the hoomin family to check
them out.

Kira, their mother, watched me like a hawk every time I visited them. She
followed me to the hallway, supervised me putting on my coat and saw me out
the door. There is no way I could have got a kitten past her. ;o)

I'll tell my niece that people around the world have been enjoying them.

Ah, but that is their *true* use. :) Just like laser pointers. I've never
used those for anything except cat toys!

I have. Toddlers think they're fun too. :-)

To entertain kitties, of course!

Don't know why'd they'd wave them around at Walpurgis, but we call 'em
pom-poms and they are used at sporting events... you know, like kitten races
and such ;)

They make those here for things too. We call them pom poms. You see them (or
used to) at school events and carnivals. I was thinking, *that* must have
been fun to clean up. It would be fun to have one around for an ocassional
toy.

Oh wow. Seriously adorable!!! I love that one of Dukatti sitting with his
head tilted and tail wrapped around feet. I'd swear he's wearing a kitty
smile.

Great pictures.  You can tell they are truly happy kitties.  I wish
them all long, happy lives in good homes.MLB

They are looking so grown up! But I suppose that is in comparison to their
widdle baby pics. Gorgeous kitties!
