little golden book ~ the new kittens

04/04/2020

a wonderful vintage little golden book today ~

the new kittens from 1957 ~

kathy's cat tina is about to have babies ~

toxic was blessed to have shared this experience with so many of her childhood kitties :) ~

& i'll never forget letting our son stay home from school for the event when our tabitha had kittens ~

there is nothing sweeter ~

choosing names ~

we are kittyless these days having lost the last of our sweet old ladies last fall :( ~

fierce mama! ~

we are suffering here without our kitty family beside us ~

these toys look just like gumby's! especially that jack-in-the-box ~

the 3 of us have decided we will adopt 3 little kittens soon ~

we want to be responsible & wait till this coronavirus event passes ~

but the thought of our new kittens is like the carrot leading us forward through all this ~

stay inside & hug your kitties..

5 little black cats! ahh! ahh! ahh!!~

(i also love the number 6, it's the ocd vampire in me..)

yikes! there are 8 spiders in the library ~

another vintage toxic oldschool favorite animated sketch was 'wanda the witch' but it's about the letter w rather than numbers, but i'm feeling halloweenish already..
