One of my favorite parts of sharing a hotel room with the Mom from Random Felines is that I also get to have kitten roommates.
This year, those roommates were three siblings who are foster cats for Colony Cats in central Ohio:
Armani, a longhaired, black and white tuxedo kitten.
Gucci, a longhaired, orange tabby kitten.
Dior, a shorthaired black and white kitten.
As you can see, Dior wasn’t so sure about me at first. She even hissed at me when I scratched my fingers on the carpet to try to get her to come out and investigate me. It took about a day for me to become un-scary.
Of course, much of the entertainment of rooming with kittens is their kitten antics. Kitten wrestling.
General kitten hijinks.
Adorable sunbathing.
And stalking toys.
And when they weren’t doing that, they were mesmerizing me with their eyes, that were just changing color. Can you believe those long eyebrows?
I made sure I taught them a thing or two, also. They took to cat games on my iPad.
Dior was a big fan, especially when she didn’t have to compete with her brothers.
The boys loved killing the mouse on the screen, too.
I also brought the kittens a cupcake. That’s a spoiling-your-kitten-roommates privilege.
Don’t worry, they just got a little bit of the icing. That cupcake was bigger than their heads!
The kittens also made friends. Gucci was fascinated by Sophie from Kitty Cat Chronicles.
Armani, who was out of the room most often, met the most friends, like Snotface the ferret.
He also met Dexter from Playful Kitty.
Since he spent time in the cat lounge, he got to check out some of the cool stuff that was on display. Here he is in the NappingJoJo moccasin pet bed.
Armani isn’t the only kitten who got out and about. All three took turns visiting their adoring fans, and everywhere they went, the cameras came out.
But Armani was the only kitten who modeled a little hat for us. Doesn’t it go well with his tux?
Dior, who started the week hissing at my fingers scratching the carpet got more and more attached to me. She led all three kittens over to my bed to sleep one night, and the last night, she chose to sleep with me instead of with her brothers. Don’t tell Ashton!
I always have a cat carrier in my car, and it was really hard not to ask to take her with me. But she will be one of the first kittens available for the year in Ohio, and there is a family out there who is going to love her.
So I kissed all three kittens goodbye and sent them away on the bus. Okay, it’s just a VW bus carrier, but it looks like they’re pretending, too.
Let’s all wave to the kittens as they drive away in the bus!
It was so much fun spending time with the kittens, and I hope they had a little extra fun with me around, too.
You are so lucky you get to room with kittens at BlogPaws! What fun.
The Dad said he sure did enjoy those little sweeties!
OMC! So adorable and so lucky to room and sleep with kittens!
OMG – great post and awesome pictures…..it is so much fun to take them to this conference. maybe a little more work, but still fun. glad you enjoyed them – even though morning seemed to always start at 6:30am
Mom says that she didn’t get enough time with the kittens this year. She was so happy to have the opportunity to hold Gucci. Did they win the VW bus carrier? It was so cute and purrfect for them!

Your photos of the kittens are wonderful! I’ve been watching them at Random Felines, but these really highlight their fur colors and those eyes! I’ll go to BlogPaws next year, if I get to sleep with kittens!
Omg! They are Soooo Kuute!

I loved the kittens. I’m smitten with little Armani – and Mr. Ouch-d***it … though he didn’t make the trip. I loved meeting you too! You take such amazing pictures … I think my favorite was the one of Dior after you took the cupcake away 🙂
Your photos are just fabulous. Love these little ones!
What cute roommates ! Those are beautiful photos of the kittens. Purrs
Those pictures are just fantastic. What a fun time everyone had with the kittens and so glad that Dior warmed up to you. That was such a good post and thanks for showing us the kittens etc. Have a great weekend.
Love those little guys. Armani stole the show. Nice to meet you at BlogPaws!
That bus carrier is too cute! It really looks like you were sending them off on their way, and I bet you had a lump in your throat too! It’s so, so easy to get attached really quickly. The pictures of those babies all over social media was one of my favorite parts of the conference this year.
Mom said she would never leave the room with those kittens to play and snuggle with.
The mom says it wouldn’t be BlogPaws without the kittens. 🙂
Way too cute! We are envious, er mom is jealous!
My Pop LOVES that WV bus and said I should have put that atop my list. Who can hate kittens?
that bus slays me..
And I’m actually a little jealous of the kittens and their cupcake 🙂
We love the kitten bus!
And the kittens too…
