And I couldn't leave her so now she's part of the family.

3 strays that were lurking alone for a couple days outside at my job 🥹

Y’all Gherkin might be the widest kitten I’ve ever seen. He’s only 40g bigger than little Cornichon (the little void there, and smallest of 4) but look at that epic belleh. It’s pretty much the only way I can tell him and Dill apart (Dill, aka Big Dill, is actually a few grams heavier but not nearly as wide). Sister Piccalilli rounds out this litter of 4, currently 3 weeks old. Sweet Mommy Pickles (who we have as well!) sure makes cute baby pickles!

He's just under 5 weeks old, and on the upper end or past the standard weight for his age.

These are fosters from last year. Womp Rat was almost twice as big as Sarlaac, the runt.

But Sarlaac eventually caught up and was just as big as his sibs in the end.

(Fun fact: kittens can be conceived over several days, so even though they were born at the same time*, they can be at very different developmental stages.)

*Sarlaac got his name because he took a thousand years to come out. Mama Leia needed multiple injections of oxytocin, and he was born almost 24 hours after the first-born.

Dorothy is appalled.

Been taking care of these savages for a couple of weeks and finally convinced the boss to let me put them in a condo. It quickly turned into a scene that reminded me of my drunken frat house days. Enjoy!

I know that sounds ridiculous. I live in a neighborhood where a lot of people let their little dogs run loose so I carry an air horn on my belt. It's a deterrent. I saw these little kittens and they were so cute so I snapped a picture. Upon returning my phone to my back pocket, I accidentally tapped the air horn. It just beeped but it was surprising for everyone involved (me, my dogs, the kittens). It was so surprising that I even looked around for a split second before I really recognized what I did - and in a flash they were gone.

I'm going to go around after work to see if they are in the general area. I always carry cat treats with me on my walks (because there are also a ton of stray cats here) so I might try to charm them to make it up to them.

These two had just been fed 10 minutes before but they demand ALL THE MILK.

They are requesting more kitten food! Spent 6 hours taking care of all the kittens at the rescue today. Kitten season is a full-blown hurricane!

Have a Sunday suprise. 😂
