I couldn’t find ChaCha anywhere, and then she popped her head out of the bottom of the cat tree and was like “You lookin’ for me?”
Sashay in the Santa bed, lookin’ comfy (and giving me some attitude.)
Flamenco on the wall shelf, havin’ a think.
ChaCha is the best office assistant, even though she DOES take a lot of coffee breaks.
Tango fits that box perfectly.
Sashay found another snake toy. I think the bag of toys I send home with her and Tango is going to be 99% snakes and bookworms!
I vacuumed Saturday morning, and when I was done Mambo came sliding out of the donut with big, dark eyes asking “Is it over?”
If you missed the news on social media yesterday, Mambo and Flamenco are now ADOPTION PENDING (together). They’re being spayed/neutered on the 18th, and will go home a couple of days later.
The adopters came to meet them Saturday, and I was curious to see how the kittens would react. Literally, the only humans these kittens have seen in their entire lives is Fred and I, so I worried that they’d be scared. I put Tango and Sashay in the dining room to make things less confusing. I can barely tell the boys apart, I don’t expect anyone else to be able to!
I wasn’t worried about ChaCha because she was friendly with us from the very beginning, so I expected she’d be the same with strangers. And she met them at the door, let them pick her up, and flopped over for belly rubs more than once. She walked around from person to person with her tail held high before getting sleepy and curling up for a nap on top of the cat tree. She is such an angel!
It didn’t even occur to Flamenco to hide – she played, she let them pick her up, she played, she played – and oh yeah, she played. She was completely fine.
Mambo hid behind the couch at first. But he’s so nosy that he was afraid he’d miss something, so he’d come out, play a little bit, stare at the people, and then hide a bit more. I think it took about an hour for him to come out of his shell, and then he was playing, being petted, and checking out the situation.
They’ll be the only kitties in their new home, and they are going to be VERY loved and spoiled.
This leaves ChaCha as the last one standing – and she’s got someone coming to meet her later today!
Also, Tango and Sashay are off for their spay/neuter today!

“You again, lady?” Alice says.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) this weekend.
“Shhhhh, don’t tell them where I am. I’m having a little peace and quiet!” Sure thing, ChaCha. I won’t say a word!
I’ve got a lap full o’ Mambo and am resisting the urge to boop that adorable nose.

Due to lack of toys in the foster room, Flamenco is taking it upon herself to bunny kick the rugs. Desperate times call for desperate measures, am I right?
Not everyone’s looking at me, but the whole family’s in this picture. From left: Tango atop the cat tree, Flamenco on the level below him. ChaCha in the basket in the center of the picture, Mambo on the couch behind her, and Sashay over there on the far right minding her own business.

ChaCha’s playing with the green Twirlydoo (and having quite a good time with it) ’til her girls come along and steal it from her. So she steals it right back! (The boys make an appearance at the end.)
My office assistant is taking a break, so I guess we’re going to let the calls go to voicemail?
Mambo got an after school job, but he finds life at the Biscuit Shack kinda boring. Not a lot of customers!
Good night innernets. (Mambo, Flamenco and Tango)
Flamenco’s gettin’ grabby with Mambo.
Sashay’s a turtle today, and ChaCha’s looking at herself in the mirror thinking “I don’t remember giving birth to a turtle, but it was all kind of a blur.”
YouTube link
When the basket is right side up, it’s okay. Kinda fun. But flip it over and it provides endless fun for hours and hours.
ChaCha in the sun. She is SUCH a pretty girl. Those eyes! Those whiskers! That adorable pink nose!
YouTube link
Tango is wearing his craziest crazypants today. That boy is nuts!
🎉 Former foster Arlo (formerly Nigel) and his floofy brother Macca are really enjoying that fire! (It’s been the perfect weather – gray, cold, drizzly – for a fire.)
Mambo’s keepin’ Flamenco clean, and she’s giving me the “You see what I put up with?” eyes.
Good night innernets. (Flamenco)
FLAMENCO AND MAMBO ARE ADOPTION PENDING (TOGETHER)! They’re scheduled for their spay/neuter on December 18th, and will go home a few days later!
I’ve got a lap full of kittens, and I’m not complaining. (Flamenco, Mambo and Tango – Sashay is off checking on the availability of the milk bar.)

A bunch of random silly kitten clips stitched together in a minute and a half long video. These guys are such goofballs!
🎉 Look! It’s former foster Sakana (formerly M’Lynn)! Amy says: “It’s almost been 2 years since sakana joined our family and she has officially become a lap cat. She has a super loud purr and constantly wants the pets. She is da baby and cuddles in the crook of my arm. If we are even a little late to feed her, she pulls what my husband calls her “lassie move,” comes to get us like Timmy is down the well. Unfortunately she and my daughter’s cat truffles have never made friends, so truffles mainly stays downstairs while sakana is upstairs. She gets along great with all the other creatures in the house though. She has stopped trying to escape out of doors, but she loves to hang out on our screened in porch, at least until she realizes I am not out there with her. Basically she is the best cat ever and I will not be taking comments on that. Thanks again for my baby!”
Don’t you just love a happy ending? ❤️ (Thanks, Amy!)

Is it time for more slow motion kittens? You know it!
Flamenco says “Lady, I did the filing, I did the shredding, and I caught this mouse for you. After all that hard work, I’m clocking out early. I need a nap.” Fair enough!
Tango says “Hey lady, it’s about time for Churu, ain’t it?” He’s right!
Good night innernets. (Sashay & ChaCha)
