Love & Hisses

The Nestlings are such TALKY kittens when they're sleepy. (I swear Rufous DOES occasionally meow... he just has less to say, I guess!)

Auntie Alice (on the couch) is not thrilled with all the kittens in this living room. (Rufous with his red spring, Tater looking under the couch, and Wren sliding out from under the couch.)

I went looking for Rufous and Wren, and found them snoozing on the shower mat in the bathroom. I mean, obviously. Why would you seek out one of the thousands of super comfy cat beds located every three feet?

Rufous and Wren have stormed the castle (and they're not sure how to get back down.)

Good night innernets. (Starling and Rufous)

There goes Starling, staring off into another dimension again. I don't know what's going on in that other dimension, but it's certainly got her attention.

Everyone's hanging out in my office on the cat trees; Wren and Starling are half-heartedly tussling. I try to get Wren to admit she's da BAYbee, but she's too busy to bother answering me. (And honestly, we already know she is!)

Wren is all "Hey guys, look. My toeses are pink, but my metacarpal pad is black. Guys, LOOK! Aren't they so cool? The lady says I'm the height of fashion when it comes to feets and toes."

Rufous and his spring, Wren and her tail. Everyone's got their own favorite toy.

Tater's got your heart. 💟

In case you missed it in this morning's blog post - love-and-hisses.com - the kittens now have the run of the house during the day. In the morning, after they've eaten their own breakfast, they (in this case Rufous and Starling) come directly downstairs to the kitchen where they check out Uncle Newt's breakfast. (Uncle Newt does not love this, but he ignores them unless they get right up in his plate.)

Good night innernets. (Starling)

I love when I manage to get all 4 kittens in one picture. From left: Wren, Rufous, Starling & Tater.

First Starling finishes up a fight with Tater, and then she goes and starts one with Wren.

Tater looooves the CatLadyBox (cutting a hole in the top was one of my better decisions!)

I'm not sure the Nestlings are that into chasing the toys I'm tossing for them. Maybe they'll get the hang of it eventually... or not. We'll see!

Look at former fosters (from late 2020) Kiki (previously Calamity Jane) and Mr. Mustachio (formerly Davy Crockett)! They got a new cat tree, and they clearly approve. (Sarah reports that Kiki is half Mr. Mustachio's size, but she rules the roost.)

Wren (and her crazy whiskers) are taking a moment out from chasing her tail to wish you a good morning! 🌞

Good night innernets. (Wren)

All 4 kittens in one picture! From left: Wren, Rufous, Tater & Starling. (Starling was in the bed with the other 3 not 2 seconds before this, but of course I wasn't fast enough to get a picture of that.)
