Awwwww, it's a shame you can't keep 'em. They're really cute and you'd love 'em. Could go with uber-cheapo food and catsand. Generic brand and whatnot. Or is that still too much?

Do you feed 'em wet food or dry food? Dry food's pretty cheap.

We have an orange cat, female. We call her "Traffic Cone" because when she sits down it starts all narrow at her head and gets really freakin' big at the bottom. She's fat, like 19 pounds.

Eli, I still think you could keep the kittens. I mean I have a friend who works a job just a bit above minimum wage who finds the money to feed 7 cats and still keep up with his Nicotine and Yugioh addictions.

LOL..

The money issue isn't the only one. I mean, come on? I can't have 6 cats in my house, it would be a pigstye. They'd destroy it.

I love animals, but I don't consider myself one, so it's hard to live in the same house with them....

They would end up being outdoor cats, and I don't want to do that...

They need homes where they will be taken care of right.

Danny (the aforementioned friend) doesn't have any problem with the cats destroying his apartment. All he had to do was spray them with a water bottle when they did stuff he didn't want to do and they learned not to do it.

Trust me, you'll grow on 'em. Before you know it you'll wonder how you ever considered giving them away.

Seven cats isn't that bad. My friend has 6 cats... but she's worried she's becoming an old maid with nothing but cats around her.

Ad in the newspaper - Free kittens! We had about 12 kittens once (two mama cats). They all found homes. (Then we spayed the cats!)

They should be at least 8 weeks old before they go anywhere. Start them on a mix of dry food soaked in water and heated.

I don't even know what the fsck I'm going to do with them! :Q

lol

When mom stops feeding them, they can go as far as I'm concerned.

You are currently responsible for them. That's why it's always a good idea to have your pet spayed.

Put an ad in the local paper to try to find them a good home.

Also try posting notices advertising the free kittens on your local pet store cork board (make sure to ask permission first). Should get quite a few responses if they'll let you do it. :)

Nothing is cuter than kitties. Those pics brought an instant smile to my face.

Constructive criticism: buy a vacuum. :)
