Those of you who have been following me will remember the post I made about the barn cat that hangs out on my front deck.
Well, she had kittens and I've been meaning to catch some shots of the little fluffballs, but it was very hard to do because anytime there was a human around, the kittens would scatter and the mother would start hissing and growling to defend the kittens from the perceived threat.
This morning was very windy, overcast, and cold for this time of year. So the kittens and their mother were all cuddled up in a pile of cute little fluffballs, and I managed to get some pictures through the window of the storm door.
When I first came to the door to take the pictures, they were all cuddled up in a pile.
But then mama noticed that I was there. Uh oh!
She wasn't too happy about that. The kittens scattered and she started to hiss and growl at me.
She eventually calmed down and the kittens returned once they all realized that I was staying behind the storm door and I was no threat to them.
Once they were satisfied that I wasn't a threat they started to walk around on the deck. One even came toward me.
I was then able to take photos of the individual kittens.
In the end, mama was relaxed and stopped being nervous about me being there taking pictures.
That's my story for today.
I realize that some of the shots are not quite in focus, but I still wanted to include them for the flow of the story and for the cuteness factor.
All photos were taken by me with my Nikon D70 and a Nikon Nikkor 70-300mm lens, then enhanced in the Photos app that comes with Mac OS X.
Happy Caturday!

Great pictures and story... Kittens are getting big...:-)
Yes. They are getting big. They're a few weeks old. I wanted to take pictures of them before, but I wasn't able to do so.
Thanks for stopping by! :-)
How cute!!! Happy #Caturday, one day late!!!
I love how you captured them all in a little ball of fluff! :) I cannot believe she hissed at you like a snake, you surely must have a presence! Each and every shot is so cute and adorable and makes the story flow with kitty love.
I want the last shot of the gray and white one. How sweet! She looks like a great mama!
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Hi, @dswigle. Thanks for everything: the nice comment, the upvote, and the tip! :-)
When I got the first shot, I was sure that's all I'd be able to get, knowing how they'd reacted before. I was happy when I saw that the kittens were coming back and got comfortable enough to just roam around and play as if I wasn't there.
Happy belated Caturday! And have a wonderful Sunday, too! :-)
Great photos! Love all the kittens and Mother cat being so protective.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment. :-)

@beerlover must be tired. He usually delivers the tokens right away when you type !BEER in a comment.
Yesterday the bot got stuck when someone gave me a beer in a comment - it kept dropping beers in my account until that person ran out of the number they could give in a day, and then it kept giving "you're out of beer" error messages, for HOURS. I haven't heard back from @beerlover about what happened, but I think their bot blew a fuse, lol.
i've heard they switched to a new server or smth like that.... will need some time for the beer warehouse to open again :P
Well mabye he thought you had to much beer yesterday 😂 hahaha... Jk
No worries my dear... It happens and it's always the sweet thought that counts in my book 🤗 thank you... Your Awsome!

Hello saboin, nice to meet you. waahhh the kitten looks funny. I smiled when I saw the kittens. I also really like cats. yes, the mother cat will be angry when someone approaches her kittens. he loved his children so much. that's why he always keeps his children.
We wish you a pleasant day.
