Wordless Wednesday - Play Time - Styx, Acorn and Oakley Edition

 

Mischief Monday - Celeste and The Cosmic Crew -by Lady

 I was away for a few days and the Man had to take care of all things kitten. Overall it was ok, execpt the time Celeste acted like she wanted pets and then put her claws into him and drew blood. I was stunned how big the crew got while I was away. It was only 3 days and they look even more like real cats and they are moving around so much more and playing! 

Thank you to those who commented on the infected eyes. We are aware of this and are working to treat it. We lost a little ground the 3 days I was away because Celeste doesn't trust man like she trusts me and he couldn't treat them safely. I can see in the one day of cleaning, we are already getting an improvement so I hope we can get it all cleared up. It is in no way impacting their play and exploring.

I call this picture trust because Celeste trusted me to pick up one of the crew to treat the eyes. She was a little unsettled but was not aggressive.

This week we will be introducing litter and food to the crew! Fingers crossed. I can't believe they are 4 weeks old!

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.

your pal, the amazing friend Styxy
