Sebastian and the Precious Moments eyes.
Hazel from above.
Benji’s all “What? I’m playing with my track toy!”
Matilda from above.
Hazel has the mylar teaser, and Monty, Benji and Margarita are trying to figure out how to get it away from her.
“Mine, mine, MINE, this is all MINE, and you can’t have it!” says Hazel.
Margarita (left) and Monty sit together and watch Hazel drag the teaser around the room.
Nigel in the sunshine.
I think Hazel’s had just about enough of Nigel biting her feet.
Sebastian says “Your foot smells funny, Hazel.”
Hazel, Nigel, Monty, Matilda and Benji are outta here this morning for their spays and neuters. I expect they’ll be home by early afternoon, ready to take a short nap and get back to the business of bein’ crazy.
PLEASE NOTE: If you’ve been thinking about adopting one (or more) of these guys, now’s the time to get moving. Benji’s the only one who’s adoption pending; the others are available and slated to go to Petsmart soon, probably this weekend. (Except for Margarita & Sebastian, who won’t be spayed/neutered until mid-July and will be staying here until then.) We never WANT to see them go to Petsmart, but there’ve been no applications for them, so they need to be where people can see them (and where they’ll be very well taken care of multiple times a day by the volunteers). Email INFO @ FFHSV.ORG to inquire.

Happy 5th (!) birthday to Oleander (formerly Constance) and Rhus (formerly Rochefort)!
Cat says:
hooray hooray its muffin birthday!
frisky fabulous five!
Oleander.
at five muffins have taken on some very serius new jobs. oleander has made it her mission to watch evry marval movie with Tor. because she is very convinced that is she trys she can catch that blue lightning magic. we believe she could definitely wield his hammer.
Rhus.
rhusy on the otherhand has to watch captain america throw the shod all around, hes studying the methods, learning how it moves, cuz some day hes going to catch that shield. and then he will be the mext captain america.
they have both also taken a new interest in costuming. though loly has declared my sewing mannequin her nemesis, they call a truce afew times a week so that she and rhus can run circles all around the sewing aria. rhusy has become EXCELENT at picking out accessories and shiny bits to help me costume, he is also the lead fabric warmer. cant have me working with unsnugged fabrics!
the very important upstairs bathroom petfest is now a nightly event. i am not alowed to go to bed unless i have given muffins ALL THE PETS. rhusy likes to stand kn thebathroom hamper for his, and atempt to get me to let him into my parents room so he can play on their bed. oleander has taken to trying to dig to the bottem of the sink during this time. she will get there one day im sure!
both muffins are expert seatwarmers at this point. they also like to help their pawpaw with his work by walking across the laptopand adding things to his papers, ams rhusy likes to help meemeow pack for trips, and inspect her ligage when she gets back each time.
there is alot of construction gojng on afew houses down, so we havnt had much porchtime on the harness latly. but we do have doortime evry morning at breakfast. and we keep the birdfeeder stocked so that they can meep and murp at all the birds. the chipmonks have also been VERY active this year. so muffins soend sooooo much time at the windows and doors latly. they want those chipmonks badly.
at night we read on mu bed, or wright, and sometimes have storytime where i read goldenbooks to them. they have their own little shelf with them now. thy like when i read the ones with lots of bright color pictures. they also like to chew the edges of the books.
they spend alot of time on their little cat tree by ghe tv. and like to lay on their side and use it as sort of an insideout hampsterwheel. draging themselvs around the circomfriance of it, and somtimes sitting on the top and reaching down to bonk their sibling.
they are the life of the house, the best vocalist, the most wonderful nurses, the perfect reading companions, and snuggle buddys. and i am so happy to be their mama!
i cant wait to see what year five brings us!
Thanks, Cat!

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) this weekend.
It’s Friday the 13th, and if a black cat crosses your path, you better kiss him! (Monty)
A Hazel latte with a green bean on the side? Sounds like a healthy lunch to me!

Matilda and Margarita, spitting at each other. They crack me UP. (Why do kittens spit at each other, you might wonder. I think it’s just a playful thing they do – they’re certainly not at all stressed out here, they seem more amused than anything.)
It’s Friday the 13th, and if a black cat (or two) crosses your path, I suggest you kiss ’em right on top of their little heads, if they’ll let you. (Margarita and Matilda will DEFINITELY let you!)
YouTube link
Hazel has a purrrr.
Oh, look. Another meeting I wasn’t invited to, and which I’m not welcome to attend. RUDE. (Hazel & Matilda)
Good night innernets. (Sebastian)
The doctor says I’ve gotta cut back, so I’ll just take the one cup, thanks.
(The mug is very large – 64 ounces – so Benji IS actually sitting in that mug. The only photoshopping I’ve done is to remove “coffee” and put “Benji” in its place.)
Oh, that sweet Matilda with her Precious Moments eyes!
YouTube link
The kittens are really enjoying that climbing wall!
Sebastian in the sun, looking SO grown up! (7 weeks old today!)

Monty vs. Nigel: fight! Fight!
I’m so curious what Nigel’s eye color will turn out to be. They’re mostly green, but there’s some bronzey-brown coming in around his pupils, so maybe they’ll be that color? Or a combination of the two!
Good night innernets. (Monty)
Look at the grumpy faces on Matilda (top) and Benji. I guess they were planning to sleep in this morning. Sorry, kids – up and at ’em!
Monty’s here to assist with all your banking needs.

I’m tossing toys for the kittens, and Hazel is really the star of the show in this video!
A moment of peace before the biting and outraged squealing began. (Outraged squealing coming from Nigel, of course. Sebastian’s got some sharp little chompers.)
YouTube link
The kittens playing, and why am I not shocked that they find the cardboard tube utterly fascinating?
“You talkin’ to ME?!” demands Margarita.
Good night innernets. (Benji)
