King of the Hill

Dedicated to my dear friend Surglo for her ongoing thoughtfulness and care, and to let her know I'll keep her in my thoughts and heart during my trip- even though always.

Not so long ago, our pregnant stray cat, Dixie at The South Coast Humane Society, a SUPER friendly mostly black cat, with some awesome white markings, like this white little mustache under her nose and with nearly orange eyes, FINALLY gave birth to a very healthy litter of SEVEN kittens!
That's a fairly big litter of kittens... and still they are all thriving quite well!


One of the regular volunteers had already named the Mama cat "Dixie" soon after Dixie's intake, and I was very happy, and honoured that I got to name the whole litter of kittens!

FOUR BOYS:
Dapper, Ducky, Dilbert, & Donovan
THREE GIRLS:
Daphne, Dolly, & Duchess

Yes, I was in a very alliterative mood, but I easily attributed their names with each one by how each name felt with each one, knowing their future owners would likely change them.

I only recently named them- as in this photo they are only 3 days old.

Photographed here, is Donovan, who is the ONLY all-black cat, though he does have a small white dot on his throat.

There are two grey tabbies on white, a tabby/tortie, a full tuxedo, one with marking like his mom- mostly black with cool white markings, and then the one that's mostly all white but with a black tail and a big black marking on its head- and then Donovan, the black one.
