I'm trying not to perish in this heat. Today it was 90 before 11, and it stayed in the 90s until after 9 am or so. Sometimes it feels like I've done nothing but complain about the weather this year-whining about the cold, the ice, the floods and now the heat.
I haven't blogged much lately and I'm not sure why. Maybe when I figure it out I can blog about it...ok that made me smile.
There are two new additions to report-Pumpkin and Patches are brother kittens. Pumpkin is a fluffy yellow tiger, and Patches his brother, is a short haired yellow tiger with, you guessed it, patches of white. They are brothers from the same litter, but it looks like they had different fathers or at least took after different sides of the family. Pumpkin is laid back, fluffy and square, like a persian. Patches is long and lean....but both have siamese voices. Patches is the instigator and Pumpkin is the diplomat. Luna is not sure what to think.
Oliver the parrot is delighted to supervise the kitty introductions. He chatters and fusses and bosses them around. If someone hisses, he says very sternly "QUIET" and if they move where he can't see them he hollers "Kitty Kitty KITTY-come here NOW" The best news is the kittens are not at all freaked out by it-so that is one worry I can check off the list.
The kittens came from a friend on a message board-she hand raised the entire litter until the Mom tamed down enough to come in and help. I had picked Pumpkin out before his eyes were open-but then decided I'd take the final two boys. It turned out that they were Pumpkin and Patches-so I got Pumpkin anyway. Everyone scooped up the cream colored and siamese marked siblings and left the two yellow boys.
People are CRAZY-because everyone knows that there is nothing on earth that is more snuggly than a fat ginger cat-and now I have two! Ok they are smallish yet-but fat gingers they will be in no time at all.

Oh I agree with you on the snuggly factor - adore ginger kitties. good to hear your stories, they always entertain...
as long as life is jogging along, that is all that counts.
two new babies!! Lucky you.:)
I nearly adopted a tuxedo kitty yesterday. Good thing I didn't~divorce may have been in the cards. Also, I'm still unemployed and wouldn't be able to afford everything it needed. I hate it when my hands are tied.
I also don't think Bliss would be kind and I know Emma would be a terrorist :-/
Always nice to see a post from you!
xo♥
hello ♥
Kittens were a conscious decision-I wanted a multi cat household again-Pasht would not allow in her old age. Then, strangely enough-she started taking in strays for a few weeks at a time-before running them off.
I know I read too much into things-but to me that felt like she was conflicted about her own species and that made me a little sad for her.
I ADORE Ginger kitties..... wish I could have one....but, alas, these days, I live in a flat where "animals" are not allowed...
I envy YOU haveing this wonderful menagerie.
I can just visualise Oliver sqwaking "commands" at Pumpkin and Patches! I DO LUV that bird!
You sound MUCH BETTER....I am so happy...it's a struggle. trust me, I KNOW THIS....
Hugs,
♥ Robin ♥
watching kittens play can brighten up a day like nothing else can. And gee, at my house, Oliver would have his work cut out for him!
