This is the first time, in a long time, we've been kitten free. Pooooooooor little Butterbean has no one to play with.
Don't worry Charlene, they are on their way.
While we wait.. I'll share with you some never before seen shots from the Pettibone archives...
Aww....Charlene is lonely. Hopefully, not for long!
ReplyDeleteDear Butterbean...there are plenty of playmates to choose from! I'm sure you'll have some soon :o) Thank you for being such a good mama to the babies.
ReplyDeleteThese are, as always, so very beautiful! Now I think the only way to deal with the Pettibones is to make a huge book of them. It may be the one that Dale-Harriet and I agreed we'd pay $800 for, and that's OK, in spite of the economy. Beautiful pictures of Pettibones to pour over is the solution to all things difficult!
ReplyDeleteAwww poor Charlene. Give her a gentle scritch for us!
ReplyDeleteWe love the never seen before photos!
Cuteness overload! ::ker-thunk::
ReplyDeleteraises head long enough to say, "Don't worry, Charlene, there will be more IBKs."
sees pics again - ::faint:::
Poor Miss Butterbean! I'll send my kitties over to play. Love this last litter; they were soooo awesome. But, aren't they all?
ReplyDeletePurry hugs, Robin
Thank you for the kitten fix! They are just darling.
ReplyDeletehee hee! The look of exasperation on her face is priceless....... her ears crack me up.
ReplyDeleteyour catalog (so to speak) makes me very happy. and charlene's eyes! beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe've dubbed that look on Agnes's face as her "Crazy Eyes".
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos!
I'm excited to see the next round of Itty Bitty Kitties, as I'm sure Charlene is.
I don't know how you will pick just 6 for cards-but we are very patiently waiting to see what you choose - ok not patiently - but excited!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever considered keeping a kitten as a permanent companion for Ms. Butterbean?
ReplyDeletePoor dear Charlene looks as though she's ready to blow a gasket. This look is the feline equivalent to a human standing with hands on hips, quickly tapping a foot, looking repeatedly at her wristwatch and saying, "Enough already! I'm ready for my next trainees."
ReplyDeleteDarling Butterbean, take this opportunity to regroup, rest up and gather the strength you're going to need when the next kitten-storm hits. The wisest caregivers take care of themselves, too. You are so, so precious to your scads of loyal admirers.
She doesn't look grumpy to me, she looks sturdy, resolute and beaming with expectation for the next set of ittybittys.
ReplyDeleteCould that Butterbean be any more beautiful. I think not!
ReplyDeleteShe is giving her Empress Queen of the Universe Look, demanding more babies, isn't she?
She's a peach!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait for more kittehs -- just like Charlene!
The next litter can't come soon enough for everyone.
ReplyDeleteRest up Miss Butterbean....and be careful what you wish for....
ReplyDelete...do we hear the pitter - patter - thud of IBK paws yet?
Wow!!
ReplyDeleteAll your kittens and butterbean and beautiful!! You pics are fantastic.
With how busy and stressed I am at work, it is such a joy to come to IBKC!
ReplyDeleteAnd that look on Charlene's face cracks me up everytime!
