Bag o' Kitten

What could captivate Pumpkin and Tigger's attention to this degree?

A bag of Milo of course:



Kitten 'n Chinchilla

Milo is still quite a bit smaller than his brother and sister. His siblings have been able to jump onto the air hockey table for a couple of weeks now, but Milo finally has been able to duplicate their feat. He was quite excited to formally introduce himself to the other critter sharing his space. Peaches, the chinchilla, is surprisingly calm around the kittens:

Even as Milo asserts his little bitty kitty dominance and scales her cage, Peaches remains unfazed:

Well done Milo, bask in the glow baby boy:



Kitten Payback

Milo is a very sweet boy, but he really wants to live with Momma and Daddy. Abbi has been the main obstacle to his plan. In a rare streak of revenge, Milo concocts an idea and shows his devious punk face:

Hey Abbi, look at me... I'm on your couch and Daddy is giving me lovin:



Kitten Bathroom

Pumpkin is always the first to explore new places and try new things. She often enlists Tigger and Milo as her minions.

She learned how to flush the toilet:

and she taught Tigger to close the door for her so she has some privacy:

She also has the 2 boys guard the door so she can play with use as much toilet paper as she wants:





Kitten Toy

Pumpkin loves this fish toy:

Milo loves this fish toy:

Even Tigger loves this fish toy:

and Momma loves to watch the kittens play with this fish toy!

Wordless Wednesday

Kittens go to Vet

It was time for their 2nd vaccine shots. Pumpkin, Tigger, and Milo got to see their siblings Linus and Lucy too!

All of the kittens are doing well although they are still a little underweight considering their rough start. Milo is only 2.8 pounds. Milo's heart murmur is gone, but Linus's murmur persists. Please pray Linus's heart improves. Tigger tested positive for roundworms, so everyone got another dose of de-worm medicine. Although Pumpkin was quite lethargic after her shots she was back to her active, playful self the next day. Next month they get their final kitten shots, then it's time to schedule their neuter/spay surgeries. It's tough being a kitten!

Not a Happy Cat

Ahh Momma, I see something in our bedroom:

Do you see? I'm not liking this. My ears are going into that aggressive posture:

It's moving right in front of me:

Seriously Momma you better do something because I am losing my patience:

What is causing Abbi such grief?

Go Away

Momma has lost her mind! She keeps bringing Milo over to my house hoping I'll accept the runt. This is my typical reaction to him:

Linus, Lucy, Shia, and Abbi update

Momma saw Linus and Lucy yesterday! Their new Mom asked if Momma would show her how to trim their nails. Of course Momma was so excited to see them. They are doing wonderful in their new home complete with a huge cat tree and lots of toys. Linus is getting longer by the day and Lucy is growing into her ears a bit. They had lots of hugs and kisses for Momma and even purred through their nail trimming.

In other kitty news, Momma didn't completely close the doors leading to the porch this morning so Shia pushed them open and sat just inside the house. While Momma was concentrating on preparing Shia's breakfast, I decided to greet Shia nose to nose. Momma was terrified when she saw us. She actually started yelling the "NO NO NO" word. Shia promptly returned to the porch exclaiming "That is why I will never live inside with those creatures!" I on the other hand was amused. Momma can't understand why I only like Shia and not all the other cats/kittens who live in my house. Oh well, it's good to keep her guessing.

Regrettably this is a non-pictorial post. Every once in a while I like to simply type words.

Kitten Art

Momma wants to make sure these kittens are skilled in technology, so last weekend she let them loose with the iPad. Linus and Tigger gravitated to the kitty art apps:

Here is their first collaborative masterpiece:



Bittersweet Day: Part 2

Remember these two cuties:

They are Lucy (previously known as Gizmo) and Linus. The above pictures were taken when they were five weeks old. They are now nine weeks old and have doubled in size:

Today is their adoption day! Once again Momma and Daddy are torn. They are so grateful Linus and Lucy get to stay together and are going to live with an absolutely wonderful couple, however they will be dearly missed. Linus can get the most serious look on his little face which always makes Momma smile and Lucy has turned into a wild child but still has a sweet spirit. We are going to miss our cuddle time with both of you and all of the laughs as we watched Lucy continuously try to beat up her brother Linus. Our prayer for you remains the same... may you grow up surrounded in love. We will always love you two.



Window Kitten

Tigger, as well as all of the foster kittens, are here entirely too much!

Kittens at Play

The kittens spent more time at our house. Those monkeys will play with anything!

Daddy points out a plastic cap cover:

and that's all it took to entertain them.

Linus and Daddy

Bittersweet Day

Today the first of our baby kittens leaves the nest. A girl who works at the vet fell in love with Steve and has been patiently waiting to adopt him. They all get their first vaccine shots today and Steve will go to his forever home.

Momma and Daddy are very thankful you're going to a great home but we are going to miss you so very much sweet Steve. You are quite the character and such a love bug. Goodbye our dear boy, our prayer is that you will continue to grow surrounded by love.

Kitten Food and Milk

The kittens are growing so much every day. Mealtime is always well attended:

This is what Steve looks like every single time he eats:

They also still love to drink their kitten formula:

and this is what Linus looks like every single time he drinks:

Yep he's got a milk chin! He and Steve are so cute together. Sometimes they even do the same thing at the same time:

Tigger wants to make sure they receive the same treatment so first he swats Linus:

then Steve gets his turn:
