Those fine fundraisers over at the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee announced they have a brand new batch of foster kittens in. Each new batch of fosters receives a family name and this group is called “The Dearborns.” Each kittayn weighs in at a whopping 10-2 ounces.
Go ahead, STICK YOUR FACE IN THE BASKET!


I call first huff on the mysterious dear born on the far right
Dub1, I was going to ask “Whose right, ours or the kittens?” but then I realized it doesn’t matter. Any of ‘em are huffable.
So, that will be one Geraldine to go, with a side-huff of Sheldon
omg these are so cute
The purring hoard is more like.
I will take them all. K? Spanks
And this has what to do with the Dearborns?
other than its being a kittaye, I got nuthin’ for that question.
Ferris??? Ferris Bueller??? Anyone???
what?
That much cuteness should be illegal.
well said
Do you know makes it even *more* illegal? Seeing the pink basket in context, particularly the third picture in this post: http://www.theittybittykittycommittee.com/2011/06/every-cat-loves-man-in-uniform.html
I SQUEEEEEEE’D when I realized how small these itty bitties are to all fit in one basket!
Seems… familiar…
I don’t know how you managed to walk out of there without stuffing at least one Dearborn in a pocket, Theo!
(Or did you?)
He managed to stuff one in his cap though… ahnnnnn!
I’ll adopt all of them and you can all huff them. Wow, they’re lovely!
I would adopt all 5 kitties in a heartbeat, debg
I would too but my kitteh vetoes any new kitteh in the family so you guys adopt, and I’ll huff. Ok? Thanks!
(shoves the calico in her pocket)
YOINK!
I thought they had a Dearborn clan already. No? Maybe it was Danforth.
LMAOPromotionalkittenbasket!
Aaand I’ll take the confident cream one or the one lurking in the middle. Or the grey one. Or the two rapscallions on the right.
That is definately a Promotionalkittenbasket.
Hope this works.
Ah, bugger.

The Dearborns were the ones swarming on Theo last week!
Yeah, I was gonna say, they’re not SUPER-new, but they’ve gotta be close to being adoption-ready.
These are the very same sweet little Dearborns that Theo was lucky to snorgle recently.
All of them would fit in my shirt. I’m just saying.
heh heh
From stage right to stage left:
(Mr. Grumpy-Pants) Sheldon (who really isn’t grumpy) – previously seen perched on Teho’s shoulder
Pearla – previously seen as a wet gremlin, also previously hiding in Teho’s camo pocket
(Squeebee) Phoebe – previously seen being snorfed by Teho
Marla – short haired calico with black splorch on nose
Geraldine – floofy calico
*bee-beep!* *boop!*
*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!* *boop!* AND FINALLY *be-bop* !!!1111!!!!
Sheldon = Rikki Re-Run.
hehe
What? No Bud Dearborn? You need a fuzzy sheriff to keep that group in line.
Them beady little eyes, just hovering over the edge of the basket, just slay me. Pearla especially..
.. Repeating to myself: I have enough cats. I have enough cats. Laurie won’t ship ‘em out of state anyway..
ROAD TRIP!
I call the one with the pink nose. Seriously, get your hands off.
*Breaks nose on computer monitor, ‘cuz Meg SPECIFICALLY sed to
dive in & snorgle*
*considers registering a personal injury lawsuit with CO*
*looks at cute kittayns*
*is slain *ded* ( rather than injured); thus cancels lawsuit*
*snicker*
Fird, I would definitely sue for a basket of kittens. Make it two baskets, since your lawyer will split the take.
I’m against splitting kittens, no one wants half a kitten. Kitten should always be whole!
so wise.
Solomon should learn from you
Kawabunga, Dude. Surfin’ in a Sea of Kittayns..
IBKC just posted an adorable video of little Geraldine Dearborn making biscuits on little Sheldon Dearborn. So. Darned. Cute.
Also, Miss Marla’s Marvelous Belly!
Semi Philosophical Qwershtyun: Is a “Purring Swarm” similar,
in any way, to a “Quiet Storm”???
More closely related to The Purrfect Storm. (Obvious, really.)
eep!!!!
that’s all. i have nothing else. its too much.
I have a big crush on Sheldon. ♥
*counts her pockets*
yep, there are 5 – say Bye to effurryone, MY new kittehs
HEY! Bring those back!
I know it’s only because of the black patch on her nose, but Marla Dearborn looks furious.
gah, you people are just trying to convert me aren’t you?
I AM NOT A CAT PERSON
I’m not… a… cat…. person…
I’m… screw it.
Now gimme Sheldon! *grabby hands!*
*sympathetic giggle*
Ha! Famous last words!
*hrmph!*
(and yes, these words are quite delicious, thankyouverymuch)
Heh. Our plot seems to be working……
OMG! I wish I had a big house so I could have the whole basketful!!! Oh oh, I’m melting into a puddle…
OMG!! I want a bigger house so I can take the whole basketful!! Oh oh, I’m melting into a puddle…
why that’s cuter than a basket full of kittens….errr….
they’re all beautiful. aahhhn.
Yum…
Laurie’s photographs consistently astonish me. They are beautiful, the subject matter is beautiful (even when it’s not so cooperative) and her whole house seems so exquisitely staged and dressed to be the perfect backdrop for the Qte. And yes, I’ve been following the Dearborns since their arrival (though I don’t seem to be able to comment at the IBKC site).
Cuteoverload tries to kill me with kittens, and the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee is also trying to kill me, seeing as how they had KISSES THE KITTEN!!! at their fundraiser.
