big giant elephants!

The 3 itty bitties sound like a stampede of elephants upstairs! They sound a lot louder than the last batch, and there were 5 of them.


Peeking out of the kitty condo

Last night, they were so wild, and were playing so hard, I was a little concerned. They were nuts, and if you picked them up in the middle of play time, they would growl! When I went in later, and gave them their panacur, they were quiet, purring, and wanting to get some love. I gave them some, just before I gave them the panacur. They didn't like that so much. I cleaned the white spots off the floor before I left the room.


sleepy...just before the panacur

This afternoon when I went in, they were so sweet. Sleeping, and cuddly and cute. I had to leave and get my camera they were so cute. I took some pictures, and set the camera in the hammock while I gave them some attention. Then, I was so taken with them, I forgot my camera.

Well, when I went back in a few hours later, I saw it siting there. I picked it up, and had to wipe quite a few kitty nose prints off of it. Seems they were quite interested in it. Kitty snot is harder to remove than I would have thought.

We will see how they deal with their panacur tonight. I suspect I will be wiping up the splatter yet again.


Are these guys cute or what?


Beulah gives a yawn

tough cases

Picked up 3 itty bitties today. They are not so small, and need some socialization, but at least they don't hiss.

2 girls and 1 boy.



Beulah



Detroit




Cleo

Detroit and Beulah are related, Cleo is not. She is from MD, the other 2 are from WV. They all look like family to me. A family that got in a paint ball match. Yes. This is the paint ball crew, for sure.



Kung foo fighting!

They are rompin' and stompin' all over that kitty room! And evil? You should see how rough Cleo and Detroit play! Growling and carrying on like they are trying to kill each other! I looked in on them earlier, and they were all asleep in the towel basket. Now they want to rip each other's heads off. The sounds of elephants upstairs!

all gone...for now

I took the last 2 itty bitties to the shelter today. They are healthy, and happy and will be spayed tomorrow, and up for adoption on Wednesday. We have already had a friend of a friend come and play with them, with her 2 kids, and they will be waiting when the shelter opens on Wednesday to apply for them. They will have a great new home!





While we were there, we checked on Ebony and Niles. Still as sweet as pie. I was happy when I saw Norton was gone...but now they tell me he wasn't adopted! He is in isolation, with possible ringworm! I was so upset! Poor little guy. I hope it turns out to be a mistake. He was 100% healthy when he left here, but I guess with the number of cats and dogs that go to the spay/neuter clinic, they can pick up stuff. Keep your fingers crossed that he gets better quick, and gets adopted!

I also see that Mama Gia is still there. She is very shy, so I need to send more traffic her way. She loves other cats, and even found a rub for Bentley when he came in to visit. She is a sweet girl, loves attention, but is just shy. I wish I knew someone with an older cat or dog that might want another low key cat. She is very calm and quiet, and although she doesn't like to be picked up, she does like to be stroked, and loves her ears scratched.

funny stuff

There is a great website, where you can spend hours if you are not careful, looking at funny pictures like this:

The site is called www.icanhascheezburger.com, and you can add your own captions to photos, or even upload your own. (Yes, you can find some of the itty bitties on there, if you look hard enough!)

Enjoy!

2 quiet elephants

Mighty quiet here today. Only two little elephants left. Great news though. Nadine is at 2lbs, 3oz! A huge leap in weight. At this rate, we will definitely make weight by Monday.

The girls got to play in my office a bit this evening. Of course, the paperball is the best toy ever, and Jet really enjoys it, carrying it around to where she wants to play.

Nadine stole it a few times, but she is still happier to climb on my lap to sit.

graduation for 3

Niles, Norton and Ebony went back to the shelter tonight to go to spay/neuter tomorrow. Nadine is still a bit underweight, so she is staying, and Jet is sticking around to keep her company.

We had some visitors to see the kittens yesterday, and they pretty much knew they wanted to adopt Nadine. Then, while they were here, they fell in love with Jet, too, so they will be adopting both of them when they go back to the shelter. We are always happy when they go to someone where we will be able to keep track of them.

Just before we went to the shelter, we let them have a good half an hour of play time, so enjoy the photos.

busy week

I know, I know. All you kitty junkies are not happy that there have been no updates since Monday. (I don't know if anyone is even looking, since I get very few comments)
But anyway, I will make up for it with lots of photos today.

We are in the home stretch. Everyone is past 2 and a half pounds....except Nadine. She just is not gaining. She eats like a pig, but she is still teetering at 1.15, and 2.0. I guess I will need to feed her by herself, to make sure she is getting her share, but she seems like she is eating fine. Not sure what's going on, but we need to get some weight on her. Maybe another round of panacur is in order. They love that...NOT.

I will take all but Nadine back to the shelter on Monday, or keep one with her, maybe Niles. Can't keep just one, with no one to play with. Makes 'em nuts. Maybe they have another single there who needs a buddy that can come home with me, but I am out of town for Thanksgiving, so I really need to get her to weight.

Still won't


Nope...not yet


Can't make me!
(Mind you, she had them open every time I looked at her, she just chose to close them whenever I clicked!)
