I forget if either of them have mentioned it in their LJs, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redactrice and shy_kat are fostering a mom cata nd four kittens right now, ahving been approved by the Feline Foundation of Greater Washington as cat fostering people.
The current batch are tremendously cute: Penelope, a fairly young cat mom, long-haired grey with white tuxedo, one offspring marked as she is, two all-grey, and one all-black. They seem to pick up one new experience a day, at least. The first day they were here it was climbing the couch in C&M's library. The next day it was chasing toys. The next day it was stalking; several of them are now adept at the "drop to your belly, wait for the prey to settle, then wiggle your butt and pounce" technique. They are totally adorable! The kittens are about 5-6 weeks old; they become adoptable after, I think, eight weeks. Nora came over on Sunday, and we played with them, then played around them (we had two games of cards, which the kittens occasionally walked over, but mostly ignored). She was also very enchanted but discovered (to her relief) that she didn't feel instantly drawn to add another cat to her menagerie. And I agreed; they're cute and fun, but I didn't feel drawn to give them all a permanent home. Considering that if we end up living together at some point in the future we'll have five cats already between us, that's probably not a bad thing.
