“With Charlie being a bully (especially toward adult female cats)…” So I guess this means that Tina will have to stay upstairs and not have the run of the house after the kittens are gone?
That’s correct – but she will have the run of the entire upstairs, so I think she’ll be okay. (I may bring her downstairs to the dining room occasionally, though.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you or anyone else on here tried the Churu Pops? Our furkids love them just as much or more than the others(Being the spoiled babies they are of course they get both in a rotation LOL) and they’re not as messy. They’re also good to hide small pills in.
I have not – but I will check them out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good grief, the kittens are nearly as big as Tina! Is she just that tiny or are they just that big?
She’s pretty small – and they’re getting pretty big! Last time I weighed her, she was a little more than 7 pounds. At his neuter, Carmy weighed 4 1/2 pounds. I think he’s going to be a big boy!

Jeff has a thlurrrp.
As does Richie. (Yes, they got a few small pieces of turkey and liked it quite a bit!)
And then it was Churu time.
That’s the good stuff, apparently. (Carmy’s serious little face kills me.)
Bliss.
Enjoying some sunshine.
In the past few days, instead of splitting up Tina and the kittens during the day, I started just letting them all have the run of the upstairs all day long. It took them about two days to “discover” the bathroom, but apparently the bathroom is WHERE IT’S AT. They love to yank the bath mat onto the floor and snooze there.
There were wasps (well, I don’t think they were actual wasps, but we call all buzzing things that look like they might sting “wasps”) outside the bathroom window, and Tina jumped up onto the window sill to check them out.
Well. I didn’t want her to get up there and FALL, so…
Now a tall scratcher lives in the bathroom so she can sit comfortably and look into the back yard.
Sometimes the kittens join her.
Tina was all “LADY. Stop taking PICTURES and give us the Churu!”
And Jeff said “YEAH, you heard her! Give us the Churu!” (So of course I did. I’m not a monster.)

Charlie went to the vet the other day for his yearly checkup. He was nervous, but by the time the vet was done, he was rolling around on his back purring like crazy. He’s healthy but has gained a pound in the past year – he now weighs 20.69 pounds (9.38 KG) – so it’s about time to add some exercise to his day and cut back on the food rations a bit.
Rocco also went to the vet at the same time (I didn’t get any pictures of him, though). He’s also healthy, weighs 15.69 pounds, and it’s funny how Charlie weighs 5 pounds more but Rocco looks bigger. Charlie is a much larger-framed cat, so I know that makes a difference.
Charlie needs a dental cleaning, but Rocco’s teeth are perfect. Maybe his other family brushes his teeth every night.
PS: I wish I’d made a video because Charlie’s voice really CARRIES when he’s registering a complaint about being in the carrier.
