Obama & McCain - Born Nov 10, 2008
Photo Nov 19 (9 days old). Obama opened his eyes for the first time =)
Two new kitties and determined to keep them going strong.
Nong Dang gave birth to 3 kittens on the night of Nov-10 (father unknown but we have suspects). First to pop out was the ginger/white one, then blackie, then the black&white. Unfortunately two nights later the 3rd baby just stopped ticking. This is not rare with kittens (runt syndrome) but we were very sad for a day.

On about the 9th day, the eyes started to open.
Obama and McCain (actually I think they're both girls, hard to tell)
Little whitey has proven to be the charmer of the pair.
Eyes wide open and starting to explore (2 weeks old)
Protective mother is always on the scene

Obama has a Thai name too - "Nong Nin" which is a type of jet-black precious stone and a familiar term for anything black. Lovely!
More pics coming as they grow...
The family at four weeks
It's a "cuteness" competition and I think "Timmy" has the edge
Nong Nin just looks kind of stunned most of the time
The kids are bonding (and fighting) a lot more now
Goin' strong 4 weeks on
