Poor Aura, story of my life, err I mean her poor little life! :p

She has a good life. A mommy that cleans and feeds her. Five siblings to play with and boss around. A human to do her bidding. She even gets 'tumble time' now.

A few minutes each day, I put all the babies on the carpet and let them tumble and walk and fight and just generally get used to being on a surface firmer than the plush pet bed they live in. it helps them get used to walking easier.

Hehe, zoe has been getting a lot more one-on-one attention than she wants. She's figured out how to climb in and out of the nest on her own. Edith has decided that the baby on the floor needs cleaned, EVERY time she's on the floor. Since zoe's been climbing back and forth every few minutes for the past couple hours, she's VERY clean now. Since zoe keeps trying to get away to do some more exploring, edith is holding her down so she can clean her.

So far zoe, spot, aura, and alty-cat have all purposely climbed out of the next. Zoe and spot are the only ones that have figured our how to get back IN the nest. Aura just lies in the floor and falls asleep. Alty-cat cries until I put her back.

Mop and unky climb to the edge, but they seem to be afraid of the 3-4" fall onto the carpet.

They all come running to the side of the basket when I sit down to play with them. Zoe even crawls out onto my lap.

For such an opinionated little butthead, alty-cat certainly is timid when it comes to exploring.

Zoe and spot are the adventurist ones. Zoe more so than spot. She covered most of my living room floor today, which is a lot of distance for such a tiny cat. Spot seems content to stay within a foot or two of the nest. The others stay right up next to it when they manage to climb, or fall, out.

babies are 3 weeks, now, so it's picture time ^_^

I've got dibs on Alty-cat. She is my namesake after all. :)

Sydney like Aura. I think Spot is really cute. Actually, they all are. It's hard to choose jut one.

You're going to have a hard time picking which one to keep Heath.

We need to charter a kitten delivery system, so we each can get one. Maybe Edith should have more, so there are enough to go around AMHD?

I have to say Zoe looks freaking adorable in that pic! Those kitties are genuine heart melters!

I actually think I'm going to be keeping either spot or mop with zoe. I just haven't completely decided, yet. I wish I could keep them all, but I know better. It's going to have to be the two that tug at my heart the most.

I have more pics up on Facebook. I already made alty add me, so if you guys have her as a friend on Facebook should find me through her and add me to see more cuteness.

I call Aura!

Hey, if you guys can figure out a way to get the kitties to you, I couldn't be happier then to send them to you. I know they would be loved and well cared for. And, I'd have the bonus of being able to get updates on them.

Well, I don't know what every one else's excuse is, but I found a reasonable way to get the kitties to me.

There's Pet Airways is a pet airline for pawsengers.

Unfortunately, New York city is as close as they get to Ohio. I wouldn't be able to get the kitties to the airport.

All you need to do is build a ramp and fly across that little ole river ala ET.

But I have yet to find the proper basket for my bike. I need one with a lid so the kitten doesn't fly out.

K, I'll keep my eyes peeled too.

I want to find something like this. I actually got the idea when I saw a lady with this actual basket for her dog. It would be nice if I could find something closer to the $20-$30 range. This one is just way out of the reasonable price range. It'd be nice if I found one that had a removable lid, that way I could use it to carry things when there aren't kitties in it.

If I don't find something, then I may find a way to make one.

I think the cage thing on top is removable -- looks like it in the other photos, plus the description talks about the "roll top cage."

Could you construct your own removable top for when you are carrying something other than kittens? It looks doable.

Call the toll free number to ask (or I will)?
