And so I went to check it out. Here's what I found. They look to be about a week old (one still has the umbilical cord attached).

They are sooooo gorgeous! What animal is that?

so cute !
well i too have no idea of what animals may be i just notice that have really big nails a big impressive in a new born

Look to be catish, however the face kinda resembles an otter....but that white marking throws it off....hmmmm....what is this animal? Hmmmm

I thought they were extra furry kittens, maybe wildcats?

Porcupines?

Maybe tribbles. lol

I would be interested to know too. That is a lot of fur and it looks quite wiry. As PC says the nails do look quite mature for a newborn.
The faces look a lot like feline but the rest is a mystery.

At first, and from a distance, I too didn't know what they were. But as soon as I picked them up I realized they were kittens. Their fur threw me off too, since it is so wiry (spelling). In terms of how old they are, it was only a guess, but they are quite small and like I said the one still has the remnants of the umbilical cord attached. The photos I took do make them look like a combination of a few different animals, otter included! How funny.

That is great. If you have anymore recent pictures of them, I would love to see how they are progressing. I have never seen them with fur that long at so young an age. Thanks for sharing.

Molly,
As far as I'm able I'll try to post updates, but that will depend upon the mother cat! She apparently didn't like the box and towel I put together for her and her kittens to stay in, so she transferred them (and herself) to an old tire. She seems to prefer living in the slums rather than the Hilton I provided!
