These adorable little ones were no longer than Darin's fingers.
Long Version: We have a little prairy dog living in our backyard. He likes to hide out under the kiddie pool. When Darin went outback to try to scare him off again he came across a cat with a small animal in it's mouth. Darin scared the cat off, but could still hear what he thought was the prairy dog crying out in pain. To our surprise he found 2 kittens hidden in the tarp we use to cover the pool(which has no water in it). He called me out and as I watched him move the tarp around we found a 3rd kitten. Then I asked him to check for more just in case and stuck underneath the pool were another two kittens. Their eyes were still closed and you could see the umbilical cords. It was crazy hot and they were panting really hard so we took them inside to cool off. I think they enjoyed the ac because they stopped crying and fell asleep. Darin called the Humane Society and they sent two officers over. One of them said they were at most a day old and it was a good thing we called because they would probably have died from the heat. We're hoping the momma cat comes around so we can have her picked up too.
