Yes, we found her cute enough that she deserves her own page. These images are a variety of choices from Iota's existence at Deep Sky. Clearly, she has become the pampered baby of the bunch and receives too much attention.

In the middle of March, 2002, little Io made a break for her perceived freedom. Coincidentally, this escape attempt was made the night before she was to go under the knife to be "fixed" for good. As you can probably guess, this "night of fun" which she had "out in the wild" has led to our expecting kittens now.
</P>

<P>
The following movies and images are of Io during her pregnancy, an ongoing event which is causing us great concern as she just continues to grow in size. This clearly concerns us as we are hoping <B>not</B> to have an additional 6-7 "fuzzy beasts" running around (3 would be so much easier)...
</P>

Not liking what was happening to her little body, Io decided to give her best friend, Steven, our chief Bad Chicken, a birthday present. So, come April 15th, Io labored all day until she was ready to present her gift of love to her pal:

Finally, on May 15th, 2002, Io let her little friends come out to play... We now have five new additions to the family, and we have no idea what to name them or what to do with 'em... We have lots of pictures and movies of 'em all, even from the very first day. They are coming...

We have finally named them all! We realised that five potential Bad Chickens coincides directly with the five hobbits in the Lord of the Rings novels. So, without further ado, we present: <A HREF="/kittens.html">Bilbo</A>, <A HREF="/kittens.html">Frodo</A>, <A HREF="/kittens.html">Sam</A>, <A HREF="/kittens.html">Merry</A>, <A HREF="/kittens.html">Pippen</A>.
