Everyone who knows me, knows that I would never call myself a "cat person" but there may be hope for me yet. Right now four of the cutest little balls of fur have me wrapped around their little paws. :-)

Yesterday one of my neighbors cats (who had recently given birth to a litter of kittens) was hit on the road by some idiot who didn't even bother to stop and see if she could be saved. Whoever hit her just left her lying there to die... what a jerk! When my neighbor noticed that his cat was missing and realized what happened, we all went out to search for her kittens. We knew that her nest was hidden somewhere in their barn. When we finally located it, it was almost impossible to get to up in a rafter, but because of the heroic efforts of my hubby and my father, we managed to get all four out safe and sound.

I've made a make-shift nest in my office that they now call home. It's pretty comfy and warm apparently because they spend whatever time they're not eating, all sleeping in a pile of fuzzy kitty bodies. As far as I can tell, they are about 2 1/2 weeks old and according to the internet research I've done, they will need to be hand fed for the next couple of weeks. After that they should be ready to go to new homes and I will definitely be ready to sleep through the night again! :-)

Here are some pictures of the kittens that I took while my mom was holding them. Also I'm adding a clip so you all can see just how loudly these babies cry to let me know their hungry! It's amazing! If anybody has any suggestions for names, let me know. I'm trying a few out but haven't decided on any for sure yet...
