  1. Can anything be cuter than this? I'm thinking you'll need to find someone who wants to adopt all five. Little Mr. Mumps just cracks me up.
    I can't wait to discover the names of these darlings.

  11. I'm practically breathless w/awe. These babies landed in heaven on earth when they arrived in the arms of the IBKC.

    I love that they're in the basket so many other itty bitties have used as a bed (and a vantage point from which to ambush their siblings).

    The looks on their faces is the definition of love and trust. If I lived there I'd be right outside that nursery door w/Charlene, waiting for quarantine to end.

  12. Whoever that extra fluffy black kitten is, he is ADORABLE. Stuffed into the bottom of the pile, his purring is probably keeping all his siblings awake!

  16. Has someone been leaking information before its time? Hmm??

    ReplyDelete
  17. yep, and that's why there are deleted comments.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh my they are so cute! Really makes me miss having a kitten around, since mine are all cats now. I can't wait to see more pictures!

  20. Could this be any more intriguing? Leaking information, deleted comments, and the best basketful of kittens in the universe.
    I'd be such a bad witness because I noticed what I thought must be a surname, went back to see if Laurie had mentioned one under the picture (no), and promptly forgot what it was because I figured it was just someone's suggestion.
    Breathless anticipation........

  21. That chubby cheeked kitten is killing me with his cuteness.

    ReplyDelete
  22. OMG so cute!!!! Don't keep us in suspense any longer on the names! I see from this picture that the little tabby boy is a classic tabby - love that pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well, I guess Laurie just didn't realize that some (all?) of us will click on any kitten pics in sight hoping to see them in bigger size. Her Flickr account was a bit too informative for a while... I guess we are to be kept in suspense until Charlene meets the babies (or something).
    What should we call them until then? BasketBabies? MarchKittens? Basketful? Furry Basket?


    At least to me all these photos are far too adorable not to be clicked on! Besides, even in the slightly bigger original I had to count three times to make sure there really are five kittens in that basket. If there's only one basket that looks like this, these kittens are tiny!

  24. What a perfect basketful of fuzzy goodness! They're all packed so tightly that it looks like one of those Escher drawings with no space between the images.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Viewing them one by one over the last few days I didn't see much of a family resemblance, but with all of them together I'm seeing it. Too cute!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I see more packs of kitten note cards in the future!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I believe I want to bury my face into the middle of that basket as much as I've ever wanted ANYTHING! They are ALL what everyone else said and more...oh my but they are precioussssssssss!

    ReplyDelete
  28. A bushel of kittens!
    Tons o'fun will be had by all once the quarantine is over!

    How many gallons of hand sanitizer to you go thru per year, Laurie?

    Good thing Charlene has the immune system of a floofy tank!

    Does she purr the whole while when at the door of the kitten-room?

    ReplyDelete
  29. At first I was like: whatever kind of comments could be removed??? the IBKC fans are super cool and would never say anything inappropriate...

    Then, I read on: it's spoilers for names!!!!!!

    *big smile on my face and in my heart*

    I just knew that the IBKCers wouldn't do anything bad. I knew it.

    Okay, on with the REAL news:
    awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Luv the little black one at the bottom of the pile. He's like, "this basket was a lot roomier when I FIRST got here!!!" I'm also imagining tiny guy crying and kneading the edge of the basket when he first saw Charlene.

    snif!

  30. Oh my gosh! They are so adorable. I'm with dale_harriet... I want to bury my face in that pile of cuteness

    ReplyDelete
  31. OK My heart just stopped from an overabundance of cuteness! Love these guys!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I hope this becomes a postcard!

  33. They're all thinking, "What's that thing the human has? Will it feed us? Yes! Food is good! We want food! Food! Food! Food!"

    ReplyDelete
  34. It would be all I could do not to try and crawl in that basket-o-kittens!

    What an awesome picture! Of course!

    ReplyDelete
  35. OMG! *speechless at the cute*!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Now that is nature's anxiety relief :) - who can be stressed with a basket of cuddly kittens around?

    Is the quarantine time over? I bet Miss Butterbean is anxious to meet the new babies!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Awww, I just want to jump in and join them for the cuddle fest.

  41. I love the way you managed to get them all looking at you.

    So cute and yes a very close family, well you would have to be in that basket wouldn't you :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Laurie, you've done it again ~ no one can resist the adorableness of these babes!

    A little slow in the Cattery this week but Tiger & Bear did find their new forever home TOGETHER! Yay! They're two big and quite handsome all black four-year-old brothers who were brought in as strays. They're so bonded, we wanted to keep them together forever, and now they will be! Yay!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I imagine heaven would be being shrunk to a size small enough to crawl into the middle of that pile.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think my head just exploded from the cute.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I just about fell over from the cute once I read enough comments to get a description of what was up in the pictures. *melts* Awww! Heaven in a basket, right there. *beams*

    ReplyDelete
  46. What an adorable basket of kitties!
