We think Zeus is a little "slow learner" maybe - if that turns out to be true we are keeping him. He really is the sweetest, but he is having a hard time walking. My cat did have one dead baby on the second day, so we think maybe this one was "squished" a little too - his tail is crooked & with walking issues, maybe his is disabled? This week I honestly put in my head that someone would come to my door, pick him out & take him. I cried my eyeballs out. When I told this to my DH that night he agreed. Literally, when i talk, this kitten lights up & tries to get to me, he is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. How in the world could I risk that someone else raise him & maybe not treat him as well because he is slow? Plus, isn't he the cutest thing? just what i need, another child.
Sleeping babies - AWWWW
Examples of why I don't have better pixs of Felix or Alvin - I have about 50 like these of each of them

Aww, Zeus is so cute, I think you should keep him! I would feel the same way about him, since he may be "slow," I would be very protective. As a child, my family and I had a few runts and they were always so sweet. Actually, my family still has one of those runts--he was found when he was only a few weeks old and always seemed slow. I seriously have always thought it had something to do with him being separated from his mother at such an early age. He is the absolute sweetest little guy and I would have taken him with me when I moved out, but he really loves my whole family as well as the other animals, so I just couldn't tear him away from such a comfortable environment
You're killing me! ! ! I looove these little meows! :D
By the way, I really, really, really adore Simon. {i love all of them equally} I cant bring myself to choose, but if I absolutely had to take one home or else they would be given away to a shelter, I would choose Simon. Well, any of them really-(i feel bad playing favs-Im a dork). ;)
I like slow little zeus. My mom has a cat who's ... err.. not so bright, and she is just the sweetest thing, bless her fuzzy little heart. Never write off a cat who seems "special."

Chipmunk names just happened - my DH named Simon first then it got out of hand. LOL
Thanks for all your comments, I just think they are precious
Collette, as far as what mix, I really don't know - here is our site that did update so you can see the mom & dad. Some people asked if we are having another litter - dear God, NO!!! It was a total accident, the mom was only 9 months old & was in her first heat cycle when she got knocked up! We have an outdoor cat that we feed (used to belong to someone in our neighborhood I think?) and it was really cold so we let him inside - TA DA - kittens. But I'm just like mothers of pregnant teenagers across america. Of course at first you are upset / mad & "how could this happen to my baby" - then the babies come & all is ok because it (they) are so cute!!! LOL
oh my goodness! these pictures and the rest on the website just made my day! so adorable. makes me think back to when our cats were adorable little kittens when we adopted them. i'm glad you are keeping zeus. my girl cat is what one might call "slow" - when she was a kitten she was very slow to learn to use the litter box and has a lot of other sort of slow characteristics. but she is the most lovable cat ever, so i'm glad that we took a chance with her.
