Waiting in the Wings, With Wings.

Well, I have a little confession to make.   Even before all the Dearborns had departed, I had some kittens waiting in the wings.

Not long before.

And I should say they were waiting WITH wings, not in the wings,  because they can fly.  

Let me explain....

Between departures I headed down to the HS to pick up some paperwork.    And there they were.  Waiting for me.  Screaming to be let out.  Clamoring in their cage.  

How could I deny them their freedom?

And so I brought them home.

And released them in their room.

And,

And,

And,

And, this happened.

They went airborne.

And this isn't the first time it's happened.  Remember Wendell J Hopps?

  2. They *can* fly! Aww, look at the tiny kitties! So cute. I hope that their innate airborne tendencies are reflected in their last name...LOL.

    Are these the kitties who will have their naming rights auctioned off?

  12. This should be the best adventure of all. I wonder what their last names are going to be? Airborne? Wings? Looking forward to finding out who they are. :-)

  13. That fundraising set is going to be trashed in no time at all! So glad to see such happy energetic babies who are clearly making up for the time they were stuck in that cage. I suspect Charlene is going to have her paws full with this group :-)

  28. Priceless! If only that crazy kitten energy could be bottled for the rest of us! Can't wait to meet them all. No wonder they wanted their freedom so badly!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Laurie, I think they are saying, "YAY for the nice lady who got us out of our cage and into this lovely home!!" Well done, you. These guys clearly needed their freedom.

    I have to ask about the beautiful pattern on the floor. Is that a floor mat? One of your crafts? I'd love to know . . . I have a spot in my home that's crying out for something similar.

  30. Them kittens be singing the "Freedom, Freedom" song! What a way to start, FLYING!
    I am waiting with bated breath to hear about Geraldine and her new family but this litter may truly try Miss Bean!

  31. To whomever wins the naming rights for this family's surname: Might I suggest Lindbergh or Earhart? :D

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh, my goodness! I have to imagine these kitties have a last name of "Wallenda." As in, the flying Wallendas! How perfectly cute and happy they seem to be, with a bit more breathing room for their many acrobatic feats!
