It's the Nathan Finishing School For Little Gentlemen and Young Ladies of the Siamese Persuasion. 
Right now, we have two guests - teal point Baby #1, and blue point Baby #2. They are not as well socialized as most of the kittens who live with our breeder, and so they are here to spend a couple of weeks with the Horsemen. The idea is that they will learn good manners, how to be cuddly, and how not to react to lound noises. I think we can make that happen. 
Pictures later- as soon as they emerge from under the bed. #4 has wanted his own volunteer job for just ages, and he cries every time #s 2 and 3 go to work at the soup kitchen. Now, he has his very own volunteer job, and he is such a proud papa!
***Oops, edited to add that #4 is the one who's caring for these babies and wanted a volunteer job.

 I can't wait to hear stories and see pictures! Is there a chance these little guys could join the family?

Max, why do you hate me??
Nope, these guys are going to become show cats when they are old enough to sell. That is, if they learn not to eat strangers. But they are really cute. |

Be careful #2 doesn't hear you say that, he may do just that if he gets too attached!
Of course I don't hate you, and I certainly don't hate your stories!

you think they'll be able to show these cats after a few weeks in your house. Just make sure that Poe and #3s new little tyrant aren't doing the training. They won't show well with crab claw scars on their little noses.
Can't wait to see pics!! |

#2 has named one of them. Oh no! He's named Baby #1 'Victor'. This is going to get ugly at some point. Victor is already acting pretty happy. |

I hear from their boss who informs me that they're still B@t $hit Crazy.
#2 is still in love so she's more tollerable. He hired some guy to replace me, and he seems to think that this guy is an idiot so I'm sure he fits in just fine. |

Your boys are lucky to get so many opportunities. You know it is good for them.

Victor has graduated to a baby sling. #4 feels that Victor will be unbearably lonely if he leaves him long enough even to eat dinner, so Victor rides around tied to #4. He looks smug. |

Baby #2 will play with #4, but if anyone else comes in she hides. She is such a sweet little thing, but it's definitely going to take some work to get her to stop being so shy. |

WHO looks smug? #4 or Victor? And you HAVE to call the girl kitty Victoria if the boy is Victor. MUST! |

Ailsa, that's perfect! I always wanted our school to have its own fight song. Funny but true storyu: the first time I applied for my educator discount card at Borders, the woman in charge asked what the name of my school was. We'd already been informed by Borders that homeschoolers were eligible, so I said we homeschooled. The woman said,"No school name, no discount card." So I told her our school nae was The Nathan SChool For Disagreeable Children.
She wrote down "homeschooling".
And unfortunately, Baby #2 has been named Chloe Violet. And they wonder why she scratches and hisses at them.  |

I shall refuse to recognize any name other than Victoria. It has been decreed.
And hey... Nathan School for Disagreeable Children is better than where we think Bug will end up... which is anywhere ending in "for the Criminally Insane." | |
When Poe ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
