Multicultural Kittens

The kittens are growing up, exploring, and getting cuter all the time. They have been exploring the out-of-doors and are just starting to take an interest in pouncing and chasing moving things. They love people, especially running to them and climbing on their laps. Their wonderful mother Stella seems to have started their hunting education already, as she has brought them a dead chipmunk and a mole in the past two days.

Since all our kittens are completely black, we decided to give them names meaning black in different languages. We can tell them apart though, by the shade of their fur. As they get older, their faces, sizes, and attitudes will help too.
