The longest I've cared for them. I think it's the fourth time.

They are talking to me now, I always talk to them because I'm teaching them manners and other things. Two are kittens born on Easter this year, and the other is their mom. They're super smart but nobody is training them until I came along. Their mom is a tortie-point manx and has never been trained so she's learning too. She plays right along with her kids now. At first she watched and figured out that we weren't just playing, now she joins in and gets all the pets and treats for the same achievements and she loves it.

They're all just beautiful too. In fact, I have to bundle up and go over there the second shift of dealing with the litter and checking water and food dishes, and wave the stick around for a few minutes.
