A reminder to y’all that the Forgotten Felines of Huntsville online auction is going on NOW (it ends Saturday at 7 PM Central Time), and there’s lots of cool stuff up for bid, including…
Love & Hisses Mama kitties of 2024 notecards made by yours truly.
Go here to see the entire album of bid sets, and get your bid on!

Margarita really takes up a plate! Nigel has to eat around her.
I swear Benji is the most laid-back kitten ever. You pick him up, and he just leans into you and starts purring. Also, he looks a mess, but he is very, very soft.
It’s a Matilda/Monty loaf! (My favorite!)
Now that she has a full belly, Margarita climbs into this comfy bed for a nap.
Matilda snoozes while Monty considers his next step.
Hazel always looks so nervous and scared, but I assure you she is not. She’s a bit shyer than the Monty/Matilda/Benji contingent, but she will approach me for petting, and doesn’t mind jumping on the other kittens to play.
Margarita and Benji have a cuddle.
That spring’s nearly as big as Nigel is!

Sleepy Sebastian (left) and Clark.
Sweet Sebastian.
Every feeding time, I offer Clark the bottle and he refuses it (grrr!) So I tell him he’s got a train ticket to Tubey-town and I tube feed him. At this point, I think he might be considering a run for Mayor of Tubey-town.
They’ve got full bellies and are out cold!
Sebastian and Clark are doing well – both are gaining weight (though never as quickly as I’d like – the story of my life when it comes to bottle babies!) About half the time Sebastian doesn’t need to be tubed (I keep a close eye on how much he’s consumed, and will tube a partial feeding if need be). When it’s nearly feeding time, Clark will start yelling from his playpen and has even started climbing the sides of the playpen. He’s also started climbing into the litter box on his own to pee, which is nice.
If he continues to do as well as he’s doing, I’ll start taking Clark up to the foster room to visit with the other kittens, and see how it goes.

Who ordered the Margarita plate? It’s ready to go, and VERY sassy.
Hazel is just the sweetest girl. A little shy, but once you pet her, she purrs and purrs.

Benji’s chasing shadows a bit (who does that remind me of?), and the girls are play/fighting.
Matilda is a big fan of the green bean – and she’s not gonna share with Monty!

We have one confirmed Da BAYbee , but I can guarantee you that there’s more than one in this bunch!
Is it a Benji pie (my favorite!), or a ball pit? Or both!
Good night innernets. (Sebastian)
Breakfast is served! At the plate on the left: Hazel (top), Matilda (pink collar) and Monty. At the plate in the middle(ish) : Nigel and Benji. At the plate on the right: Margarita.
Margarita says “Lunch was excellent. My compliments to the chef!”
Benji needs a kiss, please and thank you.
Good night innernets. (Sebastian (left) and Clark)
There’s not a lot of filling in this Margarita loaf, but I’m not complaining.
Former foster TC (Thunderclap Newman, 2015) ! A TC deep dish pie. (My favorite!)
(Thanks, Marc!)

Clark would like his lunch, please. (I am still tube feeding Clark, but Sebastian is back on the bottle, at least most of the time. Both kittens are doing well, and I expect Clark to be able to visit the older kittens later this week.)
Benji strikes a pose on the fancy sofa.

Watching the kittens play. There’s a skitter in there, and a floof suit or two. (And yes, the floor is a MESS. These kittens stand in their food and then walk all over the room. I only clean it up once a day, because there are ONLY SO MANY HOURS, you know?)
Sebastian, cleaning his toes. Awwww!
Good night innernets. (Nigel)
