Yesterday afternoon I turned four kittens out of the basement for the first time. As always, it was entertaining to watch them get acquainted with leaves, blades of grass, ash seedpods, pine needles, etc.
Not sure I've ever seen such a pudgy fluff-ball of a kitten as this gray one is!
This tiger kitty kept trying to hide in whatever little corner (or rooftop) she could find.....
Young kittens' blue eyes are the sweetest! Too bad the color doesn't stay.
Uh-oh......Betsy decided to plop down and put on authoritative airs, making sure the kittens know who's boss!
But, not to worry......before long the mama cat, Dinky, showed up to provide security and a comforting snack!
By evening chore time, Dinky and her family had taken up residence in an empty calf hut. I'm going to head outdoors and check on them, though, as soon as this blogpost is finished.....which is right now.

Have a great day!

Awwww, just awww....I love the fluffy one!
Adorable! As ever, Jeannelle.
I can't begin to tell you how many litters of kittens we've had over the years. Some were our own, some were people dropping off their cats on the various horse farms where we've lived . . . these are beautiful shots. I especially liked the one of Betsy in the distance with the little peach kitten on the steps. Quite nice!
So sweet!
wonderful kittens!
I want one! (just don't tell my husband).
I love 'em all, but I'd probably take that little timid one.

I love them! The gray pudgy one is adorable.
I keep telling momma (barn) cat no more, but she occasionally brings in a nice little litter. Goat's milk tends to spoil them all.
Beautiful photos..and you have a great day too!
Love the gray one...looks like my granddaughter's cat that she names Sunshine.
Those kittens are so big.. surprised mama is still feeding them, she'll get tired of that soon I'm sure.

Little kittens are my favorite. They smell so good.

Sweeties!! I do love kittens!... and grown cats, for that matter. :) The fluffy gray one with the white paws is just adorable!
Glad mama has found them a place in a calf hut. They will be out exploring everything before too long.
I believe that a kitten is about the cutest of God's creations!
I love the orange ones coloring! Very much different that Sunkissed! You take such great pictures :)

That little sandy coloured kitten is just lovely. It's a good thing they live a long, long way from my place!!

You make this life that I know is so filled with difficult and hard, hardm work, and frankly, make it look lovely. Such a tribute to you to pick out the beauty and make the rest appear calm.
Sempringham says I absolutely cannot drive out and get one!
Thanks for sharing these pictures!!!
Hi, threecollie, Country Girl,

Thank you all for stopping by to meet the kitties! If you showed up here at the farm, I'd give you any of these kittens in a heartbeat. They are doing fine living outdoors in the calf hut, getting used to the big, bad world.
