Baby Kitties

Just like human babies, the kitties have been growing and changing rapidly. They are very energetic and curious. We still keep them in the pen for most of the day but take them out a couple of times a day to play with them in the grass. We keep them behing a locked door for a couple of reasons. One, there are so many places they could run off to and hide and we'd never be able to tame them enough to pet them and we would be sad if they stayed wild. Secondly, we'd like them to be big enough to defend themselves if a predator came around. If they couldn't defend themselves, then we'd like them to be big enough to at least run like crazy and have a fighting chance of getting away!
This is Sebastian. The only girl in the bunch.
This is George. Named after Curious George. When Elmo had her next on top of the wood pile, I noticed that Curious George was always at the edge of the pile looking around and keeping an eye on things for the rest of the litter. I named him Curious George because he was the only one curious enough to wonder what was happening out there...
The kitty that's mostly white is George. The more orange kitty with the white around his neck like his mom, is Tuloose. Named after a cat in the Disney movie, "The Aristocats". Emily and Macy named him. We have another mostly orange kitty that doesn't have much white on him at all and his name is Tornado. Daniel named him.
