and then there was ONE!

8 weeks ago today, four little kittens were born. 4 black, fuzzy, helpless kittens. Now today, we just have mom Aurora and little Onyx. We were worried that people wouldn't want black cats but after just 12 hours on Craigslist, I had more takers than kittens so I pulled the ad! We have had so much fun watching them grow and develop. It was hard to say good-bye. But at least we have little Onny and his mom! They both seem a little confused and meow more right now, especially Onyx. His best friends are gone! It was fun but with 5 cats, the litter box got pretty stinky so I think I will be more than content with just mom and son!


This little lady had the hardest time saying good-bye. All week long she has been telling me that 4 kittens is not too many and that we should keep them all. Lot's of tears were shed as the new owners took them away.

Jaco loved all the babies too. Every night before bed, he was not happy until he had said good night to each of the babies and their loving momma.

These are the last pictures I have of them all together. I sure am glad our Father in Heaven designed humans to stay together forever! I would have a hard time never seeing my siblings or mom again and having no clue who my dad is!
The two little girls. They were much feistier than the boys!

The pictures of the kittens against the flag are really striking.

I remember giving kitties and puppies away as a kid. Hated it! It was horrible!

They are such cute kitties! That's fun that you are keeping one of them. Someday we'll have a pet...Aida just wishes it could be now!

Wow that went so fast! I can't believe they are old enough already! Poor Jessa that would be so hard especially because she is so nurturing!
