I'm sure part of her pines the babies.
Soon, Bean. They will be here soon.
In fact, we've pre-ordered a batch, and they will be arriving on Friday. Oh, BOY! You're going to love them!
Until then, let's take a moment to remember some of the kittens she's had the pleasure of mingling with.
These are stellar photos! Each one purrfect!!
ReplyDeleteThis has to be one of the best posts ever!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely, loving girl.
ReplyDeleteThat last picture is such a keeper!! You need to have that blown up and framed!!
ReplyDeleteSweetness!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how perfect Charlene's personality is for her job.
ReplyDeleteI heart all these pics--and the love behind them.
ReplyDeleteawww - those kittens are lucky to have the Bean as a mentor. Can't wait for Friday :)
ReplyDeleteLaurie,
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind if I post a signal boost here. I know everyone here loves their kitties and understand that we're in difficult times. There's a sick kitty who has learned to trust again after being abused who needs help.

I can't imagine a more perfect cat leading your itty bitty committees through their kitten-hoods than your beautiful lovely bean.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree this is the best post ever - love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteBean is truly a remarkable cat! It's amazing how she adjusts so well to all the fosters coming and going, playing with her fav toys, taking up lap time with Mom and Dad...

Mpls.
I always enjoy seeing the kittens puffed up when first approaching the Bean, but the sweetness of last one makes it forever a classic.
ReplyDeleteLove! So fun to see my baby kitties on the blog again :) I'll have to send an update soon!
ReplyDeleteBean probably pines for the babies' food, if we're honest! LOL!! She is such a sweet foster aunty though. I love all of this photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great collection of Butterbean memories.
ReplyDeleteWonderful at any time of year...
Picture #17 - Mexican Stand Off. Last picture? Bean and her Cousin Nigel! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.Lambs, Darlings, oh my!
ReplyDeleteOh, the babies with Bean! That last picture seriously makes my heart hurt.
ReplyDeleteoh, Laurie, I have been reading your blog for quite a while now but have not left a comment - until today. I did not think that my heart could be melted any more, but then I saw that last photo. It actually made me cry. Such love. Thank you for all that you do, and for sharing it with us. xo from Canada
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful photos of Charlene with her charges. Absolutely precious! Thank you for this heart-warming series, Laurie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic set of images -- thank you Laurie! And Bean!
ReplyDeleteNow, how do I go about pre-ordering a litter of kittens like you two do? The IBKC Shop?
BABIES!! YAY!! Lovely post of 'Bean pics, and I thought that was a Frost in the bottom picture. As always, thanks for the post!!
ReplyDeleteI think the last one is actually lovely little Linus Medley, who may just be my favourite itty-bitty of all time. Such a wonderful picture of them!
ReplyDeleteLast photo is definitely Linus Medley. If you click on his name on the right and scroll through the photos you'll find it, along with a couple others that are just precious. It is one of my very favorites, it shows how amazing Charlene is and how much these babies love her.

I love the fourth-to-last picture, with the black & white kitty dashing off in the bottom corner, little limbs going every which way!
ReplyDeleteBean is the Best! We'll be waiting with loves for the new babies.
ReplyDeleteMs. Bean is the bomb.
ReplyDeleteWow, you take some fantastic photos! These are adorable :)
ReplyDeleteEvery one of those pictures is adorable! That last one, oh so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThat last picture of Bean and Linus takes my breath away every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteAnd Wee Willard's ear turned inside-out is adorable.
I love all the photos, and I adore seeing Bean interact with the kittens!
