Baby Kittens

Bailey had her kittens this morning. Both mom and kittens are doing well. Bailey is such a good mom and does everything she needs to for her kittens. She loves to have her belly rubbed, even now...so it's fun to see her laying on her back with her feet in the air so I can rub her belly, while her kittens are nursing off to the side. She is very content and purring constantly.

There's no place like home

Summer is a time for vacations and we decided to take one this year. My sister came and stayed with our kittens, so that she could play with them and keep socializing them. We had a great time on our trip, but I always miss our cats and kittens. So, like a parent away from their kids, I called every day to see how they were doing ;-). It's a little silly, I know, but oh well. It was fun to come home and see how much they had grown while we were away. We are enjoying their kitten stage and the funny things they do. These kittens have decided it's fun to untie my shoe laces, while I'm wearing them! They are the first to take up that little trick. They also enjoy attacking the broom while I'm sweeping and attacking the sheets while I make the bed. They have started to sleep with us and cuddle with us on the bed, which is always sweet. We are enjoying them and their distinct personalities. So, while getting away is always nice - I really think Dorothy had it right, there is no place like home!

Going where no kitten has gone before...

Gala and Pink Pearl's kittens are starting the great exploration. They are litter trained and starting to roam the house. It is funny to watch them learn about new sounds and new places. They prance around the house loving all the room to run and play. Carpet is a new experience and it is funny to watch them roll around on it. The bigger kittens and Pippin think they are fun to watch too.
