They've Returned!

He's curious about the camera.
Trying to sneak some food from the can.
I went outside today to feed Kitten, and work on her taming.  Except I got a little sidetracked when a bunch of her kittens came to see me!  Well, kind of.  I saw three of them, the tabby with white and the two little black and white kittens.  Still no sign of the pure tabby kitten.  Wanting to get them accustomed to human touch while at a young age, I put wet food and touch them and picked them up while they ate.  Well, at least with one of them I did.  The other black and white one was VERY shy and hardly came out from under the deck.  The tabby with white came out and only barely let me touch her.  The black and white kitten in the picture was the best.  He would let me pet him, pick him up, move him around and play with him.  
Seeing if the coast is clear.
Trying to keep Kitten from eating all her kittens’ food was a problem though; I had to keep chucking little scraps for her.  But, I was happy to know that she trusted me enough to play with her kittens, most feral cats would be fairly angry when you mess with their babies.  Both the tabby and white and the black and white kitten ate from my finger.  I’ve noticed that they haven’t seemed to grow much since I last saw them a couple weeks ago.  I hope Kitten keeps bringing them by so I can see them again (partly because I want to tame them and partly because they’re so adorable). Now I just need names for the little buggers, can you think of any?  Feel free to let me know in the comments!!
