First things first: my internet is behaving itself again. FOR NOW. (AT&T has been running internet fiber in our area for the last few months and the instant it’s available we are gonna JUMP SHIP, believe you me.)
Secondly: yesterday…
Pandora was adopted!
I delivered her myself, and got to see her new sister, a 1 1/2 year old calico named RC (like the cola!) RC didn’t seem entirely sure she wanted a little sister, but she was intrigued and kept wandering through the room. I think our girl will be very loved and spoiled.
Today’s post includes the last of the pictures I have that include Pandora. That girl is a POSER.
The last shot I took of the bunch before I left to deliver Pandora.
(Side note: yes, Calliope is still in that dang nighty/onesie. At the two week mark her milk wasn’t quite completely dried up, so I declared that we were going to give it another week. She doesn’t wear it all the time – she spends her nights downstairs in the dining room, and during the day she can go without it as long as I’m able to keep a close eye on her. If I do NOT keep a close eye on her – I’ve learned – those kittens will latch on in half a second. I am perfectly aware that once I take the nighty off for good (tonight), that the kittens will all comfort nurse if she lets them – and I know she’ll let them. That’s between them and her, and maybe Daphne will be one of those fully grown cats who still comfort nurses, which – WHATEVER. You do you, kids. I just want to be sure that her milk is completely dried up so that they’re not sucking the life out of her.)
A look at that orange tabby sleeve.
Daphne up close, with Pandora in the background.
Pandora in her kitty cave… with feather. (Yes, I sent that cave home with her!)
These kittens and their tilted heads are gonna kill me.
So stressed. So tense. So asleep.
Pete/Zephyr in the sunshine. That boy GLOWS when the sun hits him.
Sleepy Smitty/Zeus. He is such a snuggly boy.
Pictures don’t do justice to how sleek and silky Daphne’s fur is.
I wasn’t fast enough to catch it, but Calliope was carrying that stuffed axolotl around. As I pulled out my phone to take her picture, she dropped it and flopped down and looked very pleased with herself.

Pandora’s having a hard time getting going this morning. (Same, girl.)
Throw Back Thursday: From 2015, Skinny Pete (left), Badger (middle) and Combo (right) made the perfect bouquet of kittens.

🎉 Hooray, hooray, Pandora was adopted today! She joins a family that includes a young calico who wasn’t sure she wanted a little sister (but she was very interested in the goings-on when I delivered her!) She will likely be renamed – her sister is named RC (like the cola!) Happy life, sweet girl. ❤️
Happy Thlurrrpsday! (Smitty/Zeus and Daphne)
Good night innernets. (Daphne)
