The 5 foster kittens are about 3 1\/2 weeks old and are very mobile. Every time I go into the laundry room they all come running and meowing. They are starting to try to follow me out of the laundry room too. I don&#8217;t know how I&#8217;m going to scoop up 5 fast little kittens. It&#8217;s going to be an interesting 5 more weeks. At least they are just about the cutest litte things ever.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/2012\/10\/09\/heat-scrooge-cute-kittens-time-to-get-random\/kitten-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5583\"><img data-attachment-id=\"5583\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/2012\/10\/09\/heat-scrooge-cute-kittens-time-to-get-random\/kitten-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/kitten1.png?fit=478%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"478,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kitten\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/kitten1.png?fit=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/kitten1.png?fit=478%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter\" title=\"kitten\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/kitten1-224x300.png?resize=224%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/kitten1.png?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/kitten1.png?w=478&amp;ssl=1 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>See what I mean!
