Just call them Jasperina and mini-Jasperina

Meet the new foster cats. Here is Sabine (left) and her mother, Tipsy (right). Tipsy came pre-named (though by the time you read this, it will probably have been changed.) They were surrendered at the Seattle Animal Shelter by their prior humans due to "moving out of state".

Update: Replace all instances of 'Tipsy' in the current article with 'Majka' (pronounced 'Majka'.)

If you took Tipsy Majka, added a white spot on her nose, performed a sex change, and added about another Tipsy Majka's worth of mass, she would be Jasper. Sabine will probably look similar when grown up, although her colors might be lighter.

This is Sabine's tuxedo-cat brother, Sebastian. (Another new name. The two of them were recorded at the shelter as 'kitten-F' and 'kitten-M'.)

Sabine again, this time without mother-cat-interference. These are essentially the only shots we got of the kittens that aren't a blur of fur. We may need to invest in strobes and high-speed film.

Their mission for the next few weeks is to plump up a bit, get snip-snipped, and then act cute and fuzzy to potential new humans. I think we'll be successful.
