Here's part of our favorite British Shorthair family of kittens 2 weeks after they were born and nursing/cuddling their mommy.

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
the little beasts can’t quite form what we know of as ‘meow’; it’s more like a simplistic ‘eeew’...I’d love to hold a tiny kitten in the palm of my hand again...
I haven’t held a wee one in about 14 years, back when I had outdoor cats that had a litter each year. I miss ‘em.
That’s a big kitty.
When we adopted Aristotle and Confucius (brother-sister pair) at 6 weeks, we could fit them in our hands. They were just barely weaned, didn’t know/speak cat.
Of all the cats we adopted, Arie was the smartest of them all. You throw some cat treats in the cat puzzle box, and they are supposed to figure out how to get the treats out. Arie solved it by turning the box upside down so all the treats fell out the first time. He’s so smart, he devoted all his smartness being bad, a smartypants cat.
He was as healthy and problem-free (health-wise) as can be, until at age 15, then developed lymphoma (stomach lining), barely 8 -9 months later, he’s dead.
He was so attached to me, I still remember when he was just barely fit in my hands and missed my little buddy.(well, he’s not that little any more).
His sister Fucia is still alive and kicking. I will tell her story some other time.
If only our cats could live longer. The oldest two I had made it to 13 1/2 and 14 1/2. 50 or 60 would be better.
Idiots know nothing about cats.
It’s crying.
Looks like it gas an eye infection.
One of them, Alfonso, his eyes haven’t fully opened yet. Other than that, these are very healthy kittens. They’ve since gotten much bigger and more mischievous.
He was too young to be holding him like that. They need to sleep with their mother. Those were cries of distress.
In one to two weeks they’ll be running all around.
“They’ve since gotten much bigger and more mischievous.”
Yes.
Cute.
Warning, they won’t come when you call them....
Heh... ventriloquism in cats... can’t even see the lips move.
