Oh dear! Brown kittens? Who has ever heard of such a thing? But apparently brown to black are the colors for the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge for October.  And I guess October is the spooky month, and these kittens are definitely spooky because the other kittens won't play with them and the giant mice won't even eat them. I felt so sorry for the kittens I named each one, starting at the top left: Tiger, Kitty, Teddy, Cupcake, Barkley, Chex, Curley and Moose.

And last month I tried to ship the kittens off to New Zealand and the post office returned them as too dangerous to ship. A postal worker was tipped off by all the foul language coming from the box. In any case, when I got the box back there was a new litter of kittens predominantly in the strange coloring of black and white.
