Actually, five of them.
"Am I doing this right?" he asked.
He was, and we handed him another kitten.
"Oh, no, no, no, not another one. This is too much!"
So, we handed him another kitten.
And another.
Then one more.
And John successfully corraled five wiggly kittens on his lap.
Our smiles were as huge as John's as we watched this sweet scene.
Another convert. Meet your new overlords. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I sense a new cat owner shortly :D
DeleteLOL! Too true!
DeleteLove it. Who doesn't love a handsome man with an armful of kittens?
ReplyDeleteAmen! -Darin
DeleteAn armful (or lapful) of kittens adds to the appeal like "RAWR!". Know what I mean? ;)
DeleteI think he needs to take a few home!!
ReplyDeleteAnd he's wearing a draw-string hoodie, always a bit hit with cats. Clearly he's a natural. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was my first thought! The cat mojo is strong with John.
DeleteI am not sure his smile could have gotten any bigger. What a great bunch of pics! I hope he is able to get a kitten of his own some time soon.
Awwww! How adorable! It looks like John is doing an excellent job as kitten wrangler intern.
ReplyDeleteHe'll be ready to start his own IBKC branch office in no time.
DeleteWhat a lucky guy!
ReplyDeleteI doubt they will ever be held in hands as beautiful as these again!
ReplyDeletesomeone seemed very comfy in his pocket :)
ReplyDeleteReal Men make laps for kittens and love it! Good Job John (and Lori for teaching him how).
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky guy!
ReplyDeleteAwww....!!!! SO, so cute.
ReplyDeleteIs it too much to hope that (at least) one of the Huddlestons will find a furrever home with John?
ReplyDeleteI have it on good authority that men named John are exceptional cat dads (my hubby is named John).
Men named Brian make A+ cat dads as well. The hubby of a friend is steadfastly devoted to their ten cats and an attentive foster dad to the cats who are temporary residents.
DeleteAnd so begins the story of how one man who had never held a kitten, suddenly ends up adopting a litter of Huddlestons and living happily ever after with five little loves. :)
ReplyDeleteThe joy on John's face is apparent, and brought a smile to mine as well. I hope he ends up with a Huddleston or two!
Kittens bring out the biggest smiles! - LB
ReplyDeleteMy face hurts from smiling so big at these pictures!
ReplyDeleteAs Sybil Ann said, I think we have another convert!
Mine, too! I don't think I've ever seen a more adorable post!
DeleteThe little one who is climbing him seems to be claiming him :)
ReplyDelete"I like this human..."
So cute! Which Huddleston(s) is/are going home with John???
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest.
ReplyDeleteCould you publish a "Men holding kittens" calendar for us? :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat fundraiser idea!
DeleteThat would be a bargain at twice the price - whatever the price is!
DeleteJohn is a born kitten wrangler. Good work, John. :-) -- ps, agree about the need for a "men holding kittens" calendar. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh that 2nd to last one where the kitten is smiling....John is a natural with kittens.
ReplyDeleteawwwww lucky John! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe obvious glee in his smile gave me the same perma-smile. I've never watched an adult hold a kitten for the first time. What a treat!
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest thing ever. I have a crush on all six of them (5 Huddlestons + John).
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart! A handsome man with a lap full of kittens. *swoon*
ReplyDeleteAw. He's having so much fun. For some reason I love to see big guys melting over little kittens.
ReplyDeleteOh John, you are so lucky! An arm/lapful of kittens is one of life's greatest joys :) The smile says it all.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say this is probably my favorite post of yours of all time, and I have been following you for several years now. :D
