Foster Kitten Friday - Follow the Leader
While I await new foster kittens I'm prepping some photos and videos for Simply Cats and Idaho Gives. Sorting through all my digital files of the kitties I've had over the years I'm reminded of one of the cutest kitten videos I ever made. The Yellowstone Crew - Beth, Dutton, Rip, Kaycee, and Monica - made their way from their popup pen to the couch. By way of a blanket-covered barstool bridge.
