Lanie's Log - Update

 It has been 345 days since my capture and I am still ignoring Lady Warden.

Can you believe it has been almost a year? I am still a bit of a shy cat, but I am happy and Lady Warden says I inspired some of the fostering. Uggh, maybe I should have bit her instead of the Man when I first came.

We will celebrate me later this month. It will be all about me because I am the baby.

Wordless Wednesday - Belated Welcome Fall

 

Tuesdays with Tigris - The Cosmic Crew

Because I know I am the apple in my people's eye, I will give this post to Lady to update Celeste and the Cosmic Crew.

The Cosmic Crew continues to bring us and those we share with, so much joy! We can't believe how big the babies are. They are moving around now, they are opening their eyes and they are starting to sit up. I have been able to check them out a couple times and I am guessing 2 boys and 2 girls. Time will tell if my guess is right!

Celeste is usually very tolerant of me in her space. There are times she will "charge" at me (sometimes as I enter the room) and she has given me a few gentle nips and gentle swats. To be honest, Styx has bitten me harder when I have been trying to have a lie in. I imagine how scared this poor gal is, to have been in our house for 1.5 days and then to have given birth. I am amazed how well she is doing, and now the kittens are past the age where I feel I need to worry, I am able to respect her boundaries.  I think she will be super hard to say goodbye to when it is time for her adoption. We have shared a unique time together. 

Here are a few random pictures from the past week.

Kittens In The Big House - By Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends!

How I have missed you! Lady finally had a quiet day to catch up, up, up. I told her, time to tell our friends about what we think about living with foster cats.

First, for the most part the foster cats are in rooms we don't see. Celeste and the Cosmic Crew are in the foster room, and Acorn and Oakley are in the main bathroom. Once Celeste and Tigris had words under the door, but mostly we just ignore them.

Yesterday Man had an idea. He thought Acorn and Oakley should get some supervised time out. Well they did and it went pretty well. I was the bestest, bestest, bestest boy.

Acorn and I were nose to nose and I only hissed after she hissed at me 3 times. 

Tigris watched it all from the table, not happy but not angry either. 

Lanie hissed, hissed, hissed and growled, growled, growled when Acorn looked at her. 

Oakley got brave and walked around. She avoided us so no hissing occurred. 

It went so well, Lady and Man said it would happen again.

They have discovered the towel laundry basket and were mad when Lady did the laundry

We will see if they make more mischief this week.

Terrible Turns to Good - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends!

I had the most terrible Monday. It was beyond mischief is was the worst, worst, worst.

I had to be in the car for 87 million hours and I may have been sick and had an accident.

Then when I got to the scary place I had to be cleaned up.

The bad people took me away from my people and brought me back missing fur.

Apparently, while this experience was terrible, terrible, terrible, my cardiologist said it was "best case scenario." My heart murmur has gone from a 3 to a 1, and the walls of my heart look, normal, normal, normal. It sees my heart problem is a unique valve (I do not like the term defective) and as long as I take my meds, I will be fine, fine, fine. 

Lady and Man were far happier about this then I was (but they hadn't been sick, had an accident and sat in it).

your pal, who doesn't need to see the cardiologist who is mean, mean, mean, for a year.

Tuesdays with Tigris - Mine

 Reader,

The Lady had a friend who was at the thrift shop and found this brand new, tags on bed. Lady asked her to buy it. She thought the fosters may like it.

Well, Styx and I have taken it over before the fosters got a chance. It is now ine.
