OMG I WANT THAT BLACK ONE. 
Those kitties are too darn cute to be true.
I adopted my cat four years ago when she was that age and she was adorable. Of course, now she's big, fat, and lazy. But I still love her.

I would have to agree that the pictures of the kittens are adorable I would love to have a kitten, but I never know how long I'll be in one place. I would love that little gray one with the white paws...too cute

Awww.. just learned a little bit ago that this kitten
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v37/S ... ens029.jpg
seems to have brain damage.
BF's sis took them all to the vet yesterday for shots.. and told the vet that it was walking funny when the other kittens were trying to play with it.
They thought it was his eyes, but everything checked out fine there so they think that maybe it asphyxiated somehow when it was newborn and that caused brain damage to it. Dunno how they came to that conclusion.. guess it's common or something... poor lil guy
So she thinks she's gonna keep that one.

shollia, when you say walking funny what do you mean? Like he's tipsy or what? As long as he (or any of the other babies) is not "cornering", having tremors, sitting or laying very lethargic with their second eyelid showing, it could very well be that he does have neuro problems, and that means he is definitely the one to keep! First of all he's absolutely precious and second, he's special.
One of our cats is "gifted" or "special", however you want to put it. I call him my baby kougra. He's about 4 years old now, and still thinks he's a kitten. Gets very upset if we call one of the younger ones kitten! He does have neurological problems. His mother, who we'd brought in to get her fixed and adopted out we knew was pregs, but we thought we caught her really early. She gave birth 1 day before she was scheduled to go to the vet. Only had the one kitten, that's why she was so small!
She was so young she didn't know what to do with him. She would sit or lay on his head, then her milk dried up after less than 2 weeks, so we had to bottle feed him. So there was no way he was leaving the house -- he was our baby!
We think that he's special because of her constantly sitting on his head - from day one she did that no matter how many times we pulled her off of him.
He sits with his head tilted to the side all the time, and sometimes walks that way. He doesn't exactly meow either, it's this very high pitched kind of squeeky noise (only I can make the same noise - he thinks I'm talking to him).
Otherwise, he's supremely healthy, has no bad habits, is very clean and loving. So tell your bf's sis not to fret or anything over keeping him.

I'm not sure how he was walking.. I only got 2nd hand info from bf when he was talking to her.
From what I saw of him.. other than him letting you put him on his back... he was just a normal kitten.
He wasn't as active as some of the other kittens but I didn't think that much of it since they all have different personalities and the big black one is pretty lazy too
heh
*shrugs*
Hopefully the damage isn't that bad cause from what I know.. he never did anything that would cause her to think that something was wrong with him.. other than this recent incident.
Anywho... if she does keep him.. which I'm sure she will. She'll spoil the heck out of him like she does her other animals.
