I love this shot – Calliope using the scratcher and Momos back there on the Churu desk, checking to see if she’s missing anything.

Bao wrestling with the pie plate, and Calliope giving me the eyes of This Boy Ain’t Right.

And Bao trying to get UNDER the pie plate, while Khinkali (over under the bed) is looking at him like “What are you DOING?”

Bao says “Gimme that phone, lady, I needs to make a call!”

I make a comfy napping spot, according to Calliope and Bao.

Pierogi approves of this tunnel.

Momos says “Whatcha doin’ down there, lady?”

Khinkali with her toeses in the air.

Tortellini prepares to sharpen her claws.

Calliope’s smug little face.

The news from the weekend is that Momos is officially adoption pending, going locally. She’ll have a big sister named Bean, who looks very much like a grown up version of Momos. I think Momos will like not being in the middle of a big crowd of kittens. She likes her siblings well enough, but they can be a bit MUCH when they’re all trying to get the Churu or feather teaser or whatever. She’s always on the edge of the crowd rather than vying for center.

Wonton, Pierogi and Tortellini are all still available. (Sometimes this happens where it just takes a bit longer for their people to come along. I think people are busy with the end of school, graduations, summer plans, and all that. Their people will show up soon enough, I think.)

I’ve felt Calliope’s kittens moving for the last few days, which happens in the last 1-2 weeks of pregnancy. I’ve moved my office around a bit so that if she suddenly goes into labor I can move her in there. I considered moving her over the weekend, but she really seems to enjoy being around the Dumplings and I always worry about pregnant cats getting bored, so I’ll leave her where she is for now. (Her appetite continues to be voracious. In the last day or two before going into labor a pregnant cat’s appetite will often drop off drastically. It doesn’t ALWAYS happen – Canasta ate really well right up to labor, and in fact wanted canned food when she was between birthing kittens – but it’s worth keeping an eye on.)

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky/Threads) this weekend.

Momos was cleaning that brown tabby patch on her belly, and paused to see what I was doing. (Please also admire: the orange tabby patch on her right lower leg/foot!)

Line ’em up! From left: Pierogi, Bao, Tortellini, Momos, Khinkali & Wonton. Everyone’s going for their spay/neuters next Tuesday. A few days after that, Bao & Khinkali (who are adoption pending together) will go home. There are a couple of applications on Momos, and I’m waiting to hear if any have been approved. As of the second I am typing this, Wonton, Tortellini and Pierogi are still available!

Have I mentioned that Magoo (former foster Reverb) really likes his big brothers? They think he’s okay, too!

“Don’t look, Ethel!” (Bao & Pierogi)

YouTube link
The kittens are wearing their crazypants today (every day)!

Calliope isn’t quite a catermelon yet, she’s more potato shaped right now. A stuffed baked potato!

YouTube link
Kitten Fight Club. Pierogi and Bao get INTO it, there’s a little involvement from Tortellini, Calliope wants NONE of this nonsense, and you get a look at who’s snoozing in my lap.

Good night innernets. (Tortellini & Pierogi)

Need someone to listen to your problems? Wonton’s your guy! 🐾

(Wonton’s still available for adoption! Email Forgotten Felines at INFO (at) FFHSV.ORG to inquire, or fill out an application here )

Bao says “SOMEONE has been biting and ripping this box. I don’t know WHO would do such a thing, but I will not rest until I find the culprit!”

YouTube link
The kittens had a crazypants morning (and will have, I am sure, a crazypants afternoon, followed by a crazypants evening. All crazypants, all the time!)

I took the ladder into the kitten room to hang a suncatcher in the window, and my assistants were IMMEDIATELY ready to assist. They are so very helpful, I don’t know how on earth I’d ever get anything done without their help.

YouTube link
Momos catches a rat (toy) and starts somethin’ with… well, anyone who wanders by! (That’s Calliope & Khinkali you hear purring in my lap)

Momos and Calliope are hanging out gossiping. (And yes, they DO look like they could be mother and daughter!)

Good night innernets. (Pierogi)

(Pierogi is still available for adoption; email Forgotten Felines at INFO (at) FFHSV.ORG to inquire, or fill out an application here )

Just a Pierogi in a hammock washin’ his slappin’ paw and wondering where his people are. (He continues to be available for adoption.)

Tortellini’s keeping an eye on me (’cause someone’s gotta!) (She continues to be available for adoption.)

YouTube link
Spend one million dollars on various toys, and the kittens end up fascinated by the (free) cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels? Yep, sounds about right!

It’s Sunday afternoon, Calliope wants to take a nap on me, and so I’ll be here if anyone needs me. (But don’t need me, because I’m taking a nap, too.)(All the kittens are on/near me, too, except for Pierogi who is about 5 feet away on the nearest cat tree.)

YouTube link
Wonton is an excellent snake hunter. I love it when he drags it around the room.

Wonton’s making himself comfy whilst waiting for his people, whoever and wherever they are, to make themselves known. (Wonton continues to be available for adoption.)

YouTube link
One minute of the kittens playing!

Good night innernets. (Bao, Momos and Khinkali, who is all “TRYIN’ TO SLEEP HERE, LADY.”)
