44kittens: 23 of them having a meal

I was asked by a person in deviantART to post a pic of all the 44 together. That is impossible, since the maximum we can get together for a pic is 23 and when they eat.

And now here’s why: They go along in 3 separate groups. I was told people in the cat industry call it clans. And just as the clans of RPG games don’t go very well with each other these don’t either.. especially when eating.

We even have different schedules for those 3 clans, and different places, too. Luckily for everyone we have plenty of space so that’s not a issue…unless for taking a pic with them all together! ^^;

I’ll try to make a video and chase them all with one recording when the sun comes back. Right now we are entering Winter and they go to their own home, an attachment near ours… which makes it hard to take pics of them there because they have plenty of hideouts there – so there I can only catch 1 or 2 in the same frame…  I guess with video it’d be hard too, in Winter – less than with pics, but still hard to get the 44 all together in one “video-shot”… so I hope you don’t mind I do 2 or 3 shots this Winter and then glue them together in editing the video. Because that’s what I envision myself doing while we don’t have spring back!

… as soon as we get the opportunity we will do it! :#1:

So, this is the biggest clan. I’m sorry for the crappy pic, but my camera is having a bad mood crisis and all I have is my brother’s cam, which isn’t that good…

Anyway, here are 23. You can imagine the madness when it’s meal time! ^^

Thank you, once again, for all the support! <3

44kittens: Lolita and her offspring

Here is a pic made by my mom with Lolita and her 5 kittens when they had only 2 days of life. From right to left: Calico, Açores, Moretta (the black one, in case you didn’t notice him at first – I didn’t too! xD), Xanax and Otto.

Nowadays they are big kittens. As soon as I have photos of them I’ll publish them here. But meanwhile I also have photos of when they had some weeks in which they are uber cute!

Pic by me! *proud face*

In this one we see Calico and one of the “honey” ones, I can’t tell which one, but I’ll ask my brother later, but it’s either Otto, Xanax or Açores. xD My brother spends more time at home, so he can recognize them all from a distance, just by the way they have their tails, walk, etc… I guess I would too, if I wasn’t away at uni most of my time. It’s my mom who spends more than half of her day with them, and my brother the same, only he plays with them, while my mother feeds, cleans, etc… My brother is a kid, so he has that excuse from my mom. When I’m there I help her. I tell you, I don’t know how she didn’t gone crazy so far! I know I would! ^^;

Ok, too much rambling… Here’s one more pic by me:

It’s Moretta! : )

44kittens: Rufia, Bluekauskas & Mulatinha

Playing in our backyard. :> From right (bottom) to left: Rufia, Bluekauskas and Mulatinha – all girls.

This is to show you only some of our black kittens. I don’t know why, but we have many of them. I personally like them when they have what we call the “white-tie” or some white spots in their tails and paws! :> So sweet!

44kittens: Peluche/Gorda

Meet Peluche/Gorda. Yes, she has two names. Originally we thought she was a he, so we called her Gordo and Peluche. She has two names because my mother calls her Peluche because she is fluffy and peluche means plushie in portuguese. My brother used to call him Gordo, which is portuguese for fat. I call her peluche.

Peluche is one of the cats that was born in the 44kittens home, so she’s prolly from Quasar’s family. I can see a resemblance, but only in fur, which is normal, since she never had to suffer what Quasar did before we found him.

Anyway, she is up for adoption. If you are in Portugal and think you can handle a kitty let me know! :] She is very sweet and responds by the name. Also very playfull. Here she is playing with a cat toy lenawargo sent us. She loved it! <3 Thank you, lena!

Picture make: My mom.

44kittens: Betinha

Betinha was the second cat we rescued from the street (and the 7th cat). We found her wandering near a dumpster (yes, again!) with her eyes all shut with a icky goey yellow thing in her eyes. We took her to the vet who cleaned her and cured her for free because we told the vet the story. Back then the vet lady was a real precious one. Nowadays vets don’t do things for free for found cats anymore…
