Tigger wanted to hide behind a pillow for his nap...


 The four big ones all together for their little nap -- calico, black, black-and-white, and tabby.





Spot, being shy behind a pillow and next to Tigger, with someone else in front.




Calico and Moustache sleeping together...


The two tiny tabbies sleeping together on her lap, with her cell phone behind them to give you some perspective.


Their faces are adorable...


Looks like calico and Spot or Moustache catching a few zz's.





Spot pretending to bite Tigger's butt.






The biggest one of all, the tabby, is playing with the string on that bag. He discovered it himself, pulled it out, and began doing the classic kitty play-with-string moves.








Who could possibly resist these sleeping cuties? No, they didn't spend all their time sleeping, but the only time I could get any photos was when they stopped running around.


All ten kittens were together for a meet-and-greet with the prospective adopters, and now all but one have a confirmed adopter. Yay!

Momma was asleep at home for all this. I touched her tail this morning..she'd gotten tired of waiting for me to stop playing with her kittens and leave, so she went around behind me to get to her food. She was just inches away, with her back to me, so I couldn't resist touching her tail. She just looked at me, and went back to her food, although she did shift position so I couldn't touch her again.

OK, I did photoshop this, just a tiny bit. That castle is real, and so is the sun and landscape. I just covered up the traffic on the beltway...



Our little moustachio kitten, with a bit of white on his upper lip (hard to see), a spot on his chest, and the healing wound next to his eye. 





 Spot is the other black kitten, who I thought was all-black until I saw the faint spot on the upper chest. Next to Spot is the calico kitten, who does not have a name. Behind Calico is Tigger, the favorite of everyone who looks at the photos, and then in the lower left corner is a bit of Tina's Twin - the other small brown tabby, only male.





Tigger is large and quite active, although Spot, Moustache, and Calico are almost as active. Tina is still the smallest kitten in the bunch, and her brother is just a little larger. 






Most everyone is in this picture -- both Tina and her Twin, Tigger and it looks like Spot or Moustache. 




Compare Tina to Spot, and you can see how tiny she is. She's a scrappy little girl, though. Spot is starting to act more shy around humans, so I have to make sure she gets extra pettings. 





Twin and Calico are hanging out, maybe before a bit of licking or play biting.

The all black kitten, tentatively named "Haka"...






The black and white kitten, not yet named.







The largest brown tabby, also one of the largest in the entire litter, not yet named.






The calico in group of four..
















The remaining six little ones, starting with the orange tabby ("Tigger"), the smallest brown tabby -- and the smallest kitten in the entire litter ("Tina"), another all-black, another calico, the third brown tabby (a male), and another black and white.
