In case you missed it, on Friday this happened:
Mimosa and Spritz were adopted – together! – and went home locally in the area. They’re keeping their names, and are the only kitties in their new home, but will have some doggy friends. (We don’t have dogs here, as y’all know, but they were at Michelle’s before they came to me, and Michelle has dogs, so they’re used to being around them.)
Today’s post includes the last of the pictures I took with Mimosa and Spritz in them.
It’s a Mimosa pie! (My favorite!)
Spritz and Reverb were discussing track toy strategies.
Mimosa amongst the clouds.
Spritz looking amused.
Possibly the only picture I managed that shows both of their fabulously floofy tails at once. (Also, a Whiskey pie with a Fizz-y side, obviously my favorite.)
Everyone’s present in this picture, you just have to look very close – Whiskey & Reese on the cat tree by the window, Spritz on the flower cat tree, Reverb and Rum on the left side of the couch, Fizz on the right side of the couch, and she’s hard to see, but Mimosa is up in the cubby.
A girl (Mimosa) and her toy.
Spritz and Rum discuss the Rumdangle.

Mimosa hanging out in the spiral tunnel.
Another shot with the whole gang!
Spritz is keeping an eye on me – I love that you can see Mimosa’s paw dangling just above her. While Spritz was keeping an eye on ME, Mimosa was keeping an eye on HER.
The last shot I got of the two girls (Spritz on the left, Mimosa on the right.) I put them in the dining room before the adopters got here, and they were like “What is going on, lady?”

Alice in 2011, when she was tiny and could pull off being carried around like this.
(I didn’t have any current pictures of her and was too lazy to go downstairs and take one, so you get one from 15 (!) years ago.)

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) this weekend.
Breakfast is served! Top left, Whiskey and Reese are sharing a plate. Bottom left, Fizz and Mimosa. Top right, Spritz and Rum. And bottom right, Reverb.
Reverb’s great big bloated belly – a symptom of wet FIP – is a lot smaller. He’s still eating (he never stopped eating well, thankfully), but the upper respiratory stuff is still present. He’s hanging in there!

Rum & Fizz playing on and around the basket (which did NOT have a kitten underneath it!), and Reese playing with the fanciest of toys – the paper towel roll center. Good thing I buy so many toys for them, isn’t it?
Fizz and Whiskey check out the Up High portion of the foster room.
Hooray, hooray, Mimosa & Spritz were adopted together today! They’ll be the only kitties, but they’ll have some doggy friends (we don’t have dogs here, but at the foster home where they were previously, there are several dogs, so these girls know about dogs and how to properly boss them around.) They were adopted locally, and they are keeping their names. Happy life, sweet girls! (They would NOT pose nicely with that suitcase of toys, no matter what I tried. Ah well, good enough.)
Reese in a rare still moment.
Good night innernets. (Rum)
I think someone put this cat together wrong. (Reese)
Crumpet’s working hard at keeping up with her New Year’s Resolution for strong abs (she wants a six pack and I believe in her!) and hopes y’all are as dedicated as she is. 🙃 (Thanks, Geeta!)

I was lying in bed reading late Thursday night, and started hearing some pretty serious growling from the foster room. I got up to see what was going on, and Mimosa was running around the room with the floofy ball in her mouth, growling up a storm to let everyone else know she wasn’t going to share it. Which of course made Rum want to know what she had that was so great, so he was following her around, which just made her growl more!
Mimosa was adopted Friday (together with her twin sister Spritz). I did, indeed, send that toy home with them, but I warned the adopter that sometimes she can be pretty intense if she thinks someone’s trying to get it, so they might want to occasionally tuck it away in a drawer.
Sorry about the blurry picture, but yes – that IS Reverb giving the feather teaser The Business! He’s not fooling around – and I love it!

Fizz is such a BUSY boy – and then I’m tossing toys for kittens, which most of them seem to like. (Mimosa and Spritz are in this video – obviously, I made the video before they were adopted yesterday.)
Fizz pie with attitude! (My favorite!)
Good night innernets. (Rum, with the snoozedangle.)
Reese sees you and OH BOY is she judging you.
🎉 Former fosters Mambo and Fancy (formerly Flamenco) continue to be so love and spoiled. Check out their cool new tree! ❤️ (Thanks Lisa!)

I finally got around to getting out the humidifier and let’s just say that Reese is a FAN. (It’s a cool-air ultrasonic humidifier; no chance she can burn herself.)
Rum, here in one of his non-Rumdangle moments, is havin’ a think. Possibly even a scheme.
Whiskey and his stash of toys.
Good night innernets. (Fizz)

the rumdangle always makes me laugh!
great to see the two sisters go to their new home, hurrah! And I am still sending many healthy vibes towards Reverb, poor boy, i hope he continues to improve and eventually gets to be lively and happy.
OK, I only see 6 cats in this photo: “Another shot with the whole gang!” Where’s the last one hiding? I see Mimosa, Reese, and Spritz, Whiskey and Reverb, but only either Rum of Fizz on the floor.
If you look really close behind the pink flower bed you can see a set of eyes.
I love that even as a kitten, Alice managed to look pleased, smug and slightly grumpy all at the same time.
I love the “Rum Dangle”. What a character !
OMG, Alice is 15!! Time sure does fly. 🙂
I enlarged the photo and still don’t see a cat unless what’s on the floor behind the grey cat tower is a cat. I see what could be thought to be eyes right behind the kitty in the pink flower, but it isn’t when enlarged.
Nope, that’s my mistake – Rum must have been elsewhere. I thought I counted 7 cats, but there are only 6 there!
It was good practice for us identifying cats. 🙂
I love Alice
The happiest of lives to Mimosa and Spritz the fabulous kittygirls! May they and their people, and all puppydog siblings, have lives full of love, laughter, goofiness, floof, and purrs. <3
Good to hear Reverb is improving, slowly but noticeably. Playful Rum Danglypaws and Reese are playful, which is proof of happy, healing kittenness! And speaking of kittenness – Alice is going to be a teeny tiny sassy calico kittoon forever, no matter what the calendar says. <3
Love that Reverb is playing! And Rum has beautiful eyes, in addition to the dangly paws.
Hooray for Mimosa and Spritz, and here’s to all your fosters getting great homes soon!
