Whiskey in a basket, Rum in a basket. Comfy as can be!

Not the best shot, but it’ll do – that’s Mimosa on the left, Spritz on the right. You can see that Spritz’s brown/tan coloring is much darker than Mimosa’s.

Buncha posers. Spritz pie (my favorite!) with a side of Rum, Reese and Whiskey.

Fizz from above. Such pretty eyes, that boy.

Reverb from above. (I am 99% sure that he was trying to beam “Churu, please” thoughts straight into my brain.)

All 7! Front row, from left: Reverb, Whiskey, Fizz, Reese and Rum. Back left is Mimosa and Spritz on the right.

Spritz and the ears of annoyance.

Mimosa and the belly that is, indeed, a trap. (But I can never resist it!)

Whiskey’s over under the window, while Reese and Reverb negotiate for the top of that cat tree. (Reverb won ’cause he was already up there and wasn’t gonna move.)

Rum’s coming to see what’s going on while Reese and Mimosa (I think) have a tussle.
Rum went to the vet on New Year’s Eve morning, because he didn’t seem to be feeling well. Except for a slight ear infection (which they treated), he got a clean bill of health, so that was some good news to end/start off the year right.
Except for Reverb, this bunch is over the upper respiratory crud. Reverb will stay on the meds for now, but the others can go med-free (which neither they nor I am complaining about!)

Had a couple of cold days, and this happened more than once. Alice and Khal are like “Are you seeing this nonsense?”

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) yesterday & Wednesday.

Whiskey really likes the basket (all the kittens do!) The basket was sent to me by someone whose cat wouldn’t use it, so she passed it off to me. As you’ve seen, all the kittens are big fans. She got it from Etsy, the seller’s name is ModeMassaRopeArt This particular basket is the Cotton Rope Basket, round, 4X Large, in color Blue Melange.

Mimosa puts her toy away and then tussles with Fizz. (Of course, I don’t think she REALLY “put her toy away”, but if she does it again, I might get excited. But she does indeed have quite the tussle with Fizz!)

Good night innernets. (Reverb)

Happy New Year, from Reese and all of us here at Love & Hisses. We hope 2026 is warm, wonderful, and full of lots of sweet kitty purrs! 🎉 ❤️

Rabbit rabbit rabbit. (Rum) Wikipedia: “Rabbit rabbit rabbit” – a superstition in Britain & North America wherein a person says/repeats the words “rabbit”, “rabbits” and/or “white rabbits” aloud upon waking on the 1st day of a month, ensuring good luck for the rest of it.

Happy Thlurrrpsday from Reese.

In 2025, we fostered 45 cats and kittens. Here’s a video of all their sweet faces. We some hard losses this year, but also so many healthy, happy kittens and cats.
Happy New Year – I hope that 2026 is wonderful for us all.

Reese really loves hanging out on the Churu desk EVEN THOUGH (1) I haven’t given out Churu on the desk yet, and (2) She’s one of the rare kittens who isn’t that crazy about Churu. She’s such a silly little goober.

Happy Thlurrrpsday, from Reverb.

Good night innernets. (Fizz and his rogue whisker, which he is using to contact the mothership. Beep boop!)
