Celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day With the Pirate Kittens

 

The Pirate Kittens set sail on the internet to plunder hearts 

What’s more adorable than a little kitten?  A boat-load of kittens.  Make that a pirate ship full of Admiral Amber and her litter of mateys – 3 tabby girls named after real life female pirates Grace O’Malley, Charlotte de Berry, Anne Bonney, and one tabby/tortoishell ("tortie") girl named Treasure (sometimes hidden, often buried); and 2 orange and white boys named for the fictional and real pirate captains: Flint and Kidd.  

This wonderful fleet of kits is being nurtured by a foster family while their adventures are broadcast 24/7 at http://www.ustream.tv/ASecondChanceRescue, the current location of a travelling kitten cam that started in 2011 and has combined views of over 2 million.  This litter is just one in a parade of kitten cam celebrities that have won hearts around the world – literally!  A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue (ASC) in Royal Palm Beach, FL, does an amazing job of moving cats and kits rescued as strays or from high kill shelters, through a variety of healthcare issues (including spay & neuter procedures) and finally to their 'fur'-ever families.

There are many kitten cams online that showcase loving and creative foster homes, but the ASC gang, has run the gamut of themes and sets: from "Kitten Cam-elot" with "Sir Arthur and the Knights and Ladies of the Round Bed"; The Shakespearean kittens (both complete with cardboard castles and “attacks” by a dragon (Boston Terrier/Pug mix) named Chug) and the Space Kittens and their lunar colony – including moonscape scenery, spaceship and space-themed kitten names.  Of course, each theme litter also gets to enjoy the kitten disco parties with music, spinning lights, disco balls, and a lighted dance floor.  

So if your friends are driving you crazy with ‘talk like a pirate’ jargon, check in on Admiral Amber and her 5-week old deckhands.  But fair warning - they be stealin’ your heart.  Arrrrr!!!!
