This is Lucy. She is one of my favorite dogs.
Yes, I know I have at least two dozen "favorite" dogs. But Lucy is definitely one of them.
I know the title of this post is Baby Kittens, and we'll get to that. But as a dog blogger, I felt obligated to start out with a picture of a dog. Lucy belongs to a friend of mine who fosters cats. Basically Lucy's mom Barb runs a kitten nursery for homeless kittens/cats. And she recently started a new blog. So I talked her into inviting me over to visit. I told her I could write a blog post about her kittens and let people know about her new blog, but first she had to make me dinner and let me play with the kittens - and she believed me! I'm not above using my blog for personal gain. And Barb is a great cook, and a super nice person. So after a wonderful dinner, I got to visit Lucy and Barb's many foster kittens.

Not only does Barb have one litter of one week old kittens and another litter of four week old kittens, she also has a few older kittens/cats that she is fostering until they can find homes. She is amazing - most if not all of these cats/kittens would have been killed if she hadn't taken them in. Now they will get to grow up in a safe, happy place and when they're old enough they'll be spayed/nuetered and available for adoption. Also the momma cats will be spayed and placed for adoption as well. When you get a chance, please stop by Barb's new blog "Barb's Cats and Quilts" and thank her for the work she is doing to save these kittens and cats. And don't forget to tell Lucy hi too!

I will Most Definitely run over and say hello to Barb! Barb seems nice but I thinks Lucy must be the very much Most Saintly dog that ever lives to share her house with that many kittehs! Wowza! I like our two kittehs but I don't know how I'd feel about a million of 'em.

PeeS. My mom and me think you're very funny!
Kudos to Barb (and you too!) for all the tremendous work. I know it's a labour of love, but universal blessings to you both for doing it!
I am glad that there are two leggers like Barb out there. Cats have feeling too. I'm just not into them much.
Lucy is grrreat!!!
I can't believe how many little kittens there are in one place! Lucy must be a very patient pooch.
Bless you for taking care of the furry friends!
I've never seen so many furballs in my whole entires life...well except fur da OP pac maybe. I sure hopes they find GOOD homes. I thinks you could send them to Mayzie's...her wouldn't mind.

Well, as cats of course we will go visit her. Our soon-to-be siblings turn 4 weeks old today - and luckily their mom picked the right girls to befriend otherwise they would have been either born outside or taken to a shelter where, well, it wouldn't have been good. I love that people are so willing to help out!!
And the fact that you got dinner too - awesome!!

Kitties+Curiosity = Endless Adventure!
Quizz would be in heaven, Charlie would be marshaling the troups and training them in cat warfare in his plans for world domination. Me? Well I'd just be praying that none of them were following me down the stairs.
awww I really hope soon I will have the ability to foster kittens and cats.
Barb is amazing!
