That pic could make you spontaneously lactate and your ovaries explode.
….I feel the need to knead also…..
@ kar: IF you are female in gender or pre-operative gender transfer ….
otherwise ….
Stan: It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg: But you can’t have babies.
Stan: Don’t you oppress me!
Reg: Where’s the fetus going to gestate, in a box?
Not having a womb–which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans…
Life is full of $h!t
That’s the truth of it…
Reg: All right, but APART from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?!
Attendee: Brought peace?
Reg: Oh, peace – shut up!
You guys, I love all of this, but what are you quoting? Am I completely out of it that I don’t recognize it?
Monty Pythons Life of Brian. Funny movie I recommend it!!
Okay now I feel really stupid, since I am a Monty Python fan but have never actually seen Life of Brian.
Behold, the might that is Python: pearl-clutchers, small-noses and ex-lepers, beware; basically un-safe for all (there’s no pleasing some people).
5:00 for the gender
Don’t feel bad, skippymom. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any Monty Python movie…… *ducks behind tank*
AWW
What a pretty mommy cat 
AWW 
How old are those tiny kitties? 
Although with those ears, possibly tiny foster-marmosets
As a foster-kitten-mommy, I can guess at the age…. I’m pretty sure those babies are less than a week old. On the other hand, it would be easier to estimate if you could see their faces and weigh them…. I’d guess, just a guess, that their eyes are tight shut and the weight is about, oh, 5 or 6 ounces. They’re born at about 3-4 ounces, and then gain about 3 or 4 ounces in their first week — if all is well. And these babies look like all is well!
It’s really cool how the ears move up the side of the head as they grow. A two-week-old will have open eyes but not really able to walk, and their ears are closer to 10 and 2. By three weeks, the ears are little triangles at the top. So if you see a baby kitten with ears on the sides of the head, that’s less than three weeks for sure.
If the eyes are not yet open, it’s less than 10 days.
I would love to see a time-lapse video to accompany this description!!
I also so want to gently snorgle the mommy cat and her babies

Signed,
Can’t believe I’m attempting to correct/improve Oakley’s post.
By all means, jump right in. All for pun and pun for all.
I was just thinking last night about whether I regret not having had human children. Conclusion: no.
But I still have an insane desire to give birth to and nurse a batch of kittens.
I think that’s only natural, skippymom. I feel the same way.
Great photo of a gorgeous little family! It’s unusual to see an orange female cat.
You are not alone, skippymom!! =)
I’m with you too. Human babies are cute and all, but they don’t purr.
THAT’s the thing !!!
Aww the little one at the bottom… Those are felt ears, right?
After I’ve had my turn with those kitties, all their ears will have been felt. As will their tummies, tails, feetsies and behinds.
And tiny pink nosies!! Smooched with barely a touch!
Recall this Sunday:
We were all teensier once.
All hail our Mom Cats!
love it!
Soft warm tummy fur
Tender morsels, snuggling
Sweetest in the world!
dude – the one at the bottom! those ears are totally at 8 and 4!
Obviously a kitten from a different time zone.
…who may be experiencing pet lag.
OOH! I’m a poet and I didn’t know it!!
dude – the one at the
bottom! those ears are tota-
-lly at 8 & 4!
More like 9 and 3!!!! 80
Belleh up to the bar kids !!!!
Mom Cat is all “1, 2, 3, 4,, no, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, no, no, 1, 2, 3, 4?”
All I can see is LOTS of floof with tiny earsies sticking out, and that peenk mom nose on the right is the killer touch… let me dive in it!!!
Hey! Those kittehs are on the wall calendar for this weekend! *sigh* Me luvs itty bitty kittehs……
Cluster of kittens.
Marmie marmee loves them so!
Fuzzy happiness.
When exactly do the ears go from 9 and 3 to 11 and 1? And when do they get pointy? And how does that happen? Seems to happen over night.

I should have answered after reading all the comments — I answered this in a reply to Teresa’s post.
Lookit! Teh mommy is a marmie!!!!
nice verbal bit, that
(also reminds me of book Little Women,
where the girls call their mother “Marmie”)
Those three kitten’s coats are a type I’ve never seen on a cat before.They seem,to me,to actually be puse or lavender almost in color if you unfocus your eyes.How do you think they will look when they’re older?
they might be dilute tortie – soft grey and peach. Here is my dilute tortie girl, Matisse:

Thanks for the link.After seeing your wonderful cat,I ant to see these kitties when they are grown up even more.
Kitties!
I have a similar (live) pic at my house. Someone discarded two orange cats at my house. Both had litters which I assume is why they were set out. One I don’t know where her babies are. The other we have inside, she has five babies, 3 weeks old yesterday. None have names but the adults are called Orange Kitty One and Two or Not That Orange Kitty, The Other Orange Kitty. ; )
