Mo' Kittens Mo' Problems
It's a well-known fact.
Mo' Kittens, mo' problems. Just look at the WARS it starts.
You'll recall we posted the third pic down some time ago, where one kitten was chomping on another. The rest of the series was too good to pass up.

So. Cute.
Momma is beautiful! Cute lil babies...must not nom!
Meg you MUST ration out these pictures - the cute factor is just too too high
OMG
the mama cat is so beautiful.
i LOVE how the Siamese kittehs start out all pink and purrfect and get their color gradually, so they turn out so gorgeously marked (like mama cat). i'll take two please (the two little fighters)
All those kittens is like having a small army of cute to destroy all those that stand in its way......
The Business Section of the NYTimes has surrendered!

Oh wow, omigosh, oh wow, omigosh! First picture - I'm thinking, wow I've never seen a kitty with markings quite like that, isn't she pretty? Then the third picture, I see her eyes, and I fell over. As my grandma says, I "come from together." And I LOVE the babies! I've never gotten to handle kitteh babies that teeny.
Wow!!! NY Times! Congrats!
Momma looks soooo happy and proud! As she should!!!
I'm sitting at work (at a newspaper, no less) and I'm browsing CO. In fact, it's part of my daily routine. Gotta get that CO! It's coffee in the morning, e-mail, then CO.
And I still have to get my calendar! I think I'll get a bunch of them and give them to my friends for Christmas.
So this is what heaven is like... I'd heard it was glorious.
P.S. Previouslydoodle that's fantastic, but the quote at the end made me cringe: "For these women,” he said, “recently graduated from college and sitting in grim corporate America, Cute puts them in touch with their nonwork selves. It’s escapism.” <-- thanks for devaluing even the simple things women appreciate to "escapism". I suppose men working on their cars or what have you has significant social and emotional meaning, then.
Hmm, I've been wanting a snow bengal to match our brown striped one...
What an adorable series of pictures. I really needed it today. My mom's dog succumbed to her cancer yesterday afternoon, four weeks after her diagnosis, and four weeks and one day after mom's other dog died. I'm so happy to see a little bundle of kittens and the joy of new life.
Fegli, I notice the quote at the end of the article too and I thought it was kind of melodramatic and ridiculous to suggest that women turn to CO for "escapism" as if life is all that bad to begin with.
Though, at the risk of flaming and nuffing, I really think some people who frequent CO use the word "escape" too often or phrase their sentiments in a way that suggests that CO is the ONLY joy derived in a day...sometimes, I think people do make it very melodramatic, as if ONE 'pa-sickie' incident is going to wreck the entire day, reverse the earth's rotation and make chocolate taste like gym socks.
Okay, now I must also add that my last post was in no way directed at one person in particular. yankeebird, I'm sorry for your mom's loss, hope she's feeling better soon.
Wow! Mom has her work cut out for her, look at all those kittens! They are so cute. I especially love pic #6, it's so perfect.
Congrats on the NY Times article!
Fegli...I see your point. I think CO is more than just escapism. For me it's an essential part of my day if I wish to remain sane! Well, kinda sane anyway :)
mommy looks like a variation of an egyptian mau, although i don't think that breed comes in brown stripes against cream background, and with such clear blue eyes. soooooo pretty!!
Clearly the NY Times people didn't contact the Washington Post male reporter who appreciated hedgehog moist nosicles.

That momma cat is so gorgeous!
"make chocolate taste like gym socks"
What the . . . ? HEY, YOU! I come here for the CUTE and to ESCAPE the horrors of world, and NOT to have such DISGUSTING and OBSCENE thoughts planted in my innocent mind!
Now excuse me while I go get some chocolate. HARRUMPH!
I so want a litter.
Totally off topic from the cat, but on topic with CO. I see from Amazon and BN and Calendar.com and all those sites that the Co calendar is still listed as having 320 pages despite being a 365 day calendar. Any of you who already have yours notice a problem? I want to get a bunch of these for Christmas presents, but I want to make sure I don't have to flip through every single calendar to make sure 365 days can fit into 320 pages!
And another thing to crab about: They misquoted Meg in that NY Times article! Surely she said the calendar's selling out in a day was "totally redonkulous."
She looks like she's at least part lynx point Siamese - I've never seen one quite that stripey in the body, though.
bebes love da momma...and momma love da bebes. sigh.
A six-pack of adorable bebehs! and a beautiful mom kitteh! What a great way to start the day... thanks!
oh, maybe it's a siamese/egyptian mau mix!!
A family friend who is staying with us has a cat just like that. Triple recessive gene... pretty rare kitty... very beautiful with a distinctive meow and crystal blue eyes. I *will* steal her kitty...bwhahaha!
What a happy mamma cat!
Wow... she is bee-yoo-ti-ful!
I just posted on ICHC...

@yankeebird: OMG, I didn't realize it was a 2nd doggie who died! I'm SO SORRY and I send you and your mom many, many {{{{{HUGS}}}}} and of course, snorgles from the "kids" through this interweb.
Juno, that was my thought exactly! I wondered if she 'sold out' on the lingo in order to remain, uh, comprehensible to those outside our world.
And interestingly enough, I saw the quote, "sitting in grim corporate America, Cute puts them in touch with their nonwork selves. It’s escapism." and thought, yeah! Exactly! Except that I also visit CO before and after work and on weekends, so...I'm either always grim or always escaping. Maybe both.
Well, it's an addiction, but I'm not ready for boxhab. Nyerhe, nyerhe, nyerhe.
I am embarrassed to admit I did not know that Meg worked for Apple. yay for the NYtimes! Go Meg Go!!!!!!
mamma cat is gorgeous...coat and eyes
That cat is spectacularly pretty! It's a Siamese tabby? I want one!
Aw, what a sweet momma kitty with her babies! Looks like she's taking good care of them. *Melts*
the cat is a snow-colored bengal, i believe they do get the white color from breeding siamese into the mix. I have one who looks just like her. So cute!
Gail (the first one),
Totally what I thought when I saw that picture yesterday!
Hope it gets votes. I think there's strong CO crossover.
All those pink feets!
GAH!!! *dies*
oof! ^_^ its a snow bengal by the waay, i clicked on the pic and it linked me to flickr which titled it "snow bengal" :)
*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* x 6
But siriuslii, foax, SPAY/NEUTER!!! ADOPT!!!
Gail I don't what that means but it was so funny I voted for it.
I heart lynx points!!!
My face hurts from the megaton "squeeeeeee!" that came out. Mom cat is so beautiful!
Now we need photos as the kittens develop and start running the place.
OMG the mommie cat is simply GORGEOUS! And I think it goes without saying, though I'm sayin' anyway!, those kittens are so very nommable :D
*nom nom nom*
Now we need photos as the kittens develop and start running the place.
Yes please please please Meg! Keep us up to date with these babies' development! Hope they turn out like the beautiful mother!
