Kittens . . . inspired by Chinook

So here are the kittens, all 7 of them.  Their poor mama, our beloved Chinook, died of cancer (possibly feline leukemia) when the kits were about 3 1/2 weeks old.  That was about 10 days ago.  Fortunately, all seven kit kats are doing well.  Milk replacer 3 - 4 times per day, an old toy box to sleep in, & a few outings (in the house) seems to be all they need.  I do wish they'd stop climbing pants legs like trees.

My kids love them dearly, of course, and we all feel like we owe it to Chinook to care for her last litter.
