If you were here early yesterday, the pictures might not have worked for you. I managed to forget to double-check my post before I set it to publish, so didn’t realize that I’d mis-linked the pictures! Sorry for the confusion, especially to those of you who saw the preview picture on the Love & Hisses Facebook page and thought it meant we had new kittens. The preview picture was from a header featuring Scorch from Khaleesi’s litter.
Connie asked why no new kittens, and it’s not because there aren’t kittens available, it’s because Polo needed a place to stay for a couple of weeks. His foster parents are going on vacation, so he’ll come here with us while they’re gone. He’ll be here ’til mid-September, and then once he’s gone maybe (hopefully) we’ll get some babies. It all depends on what the need is at that time, of course.

Also (and I meant to mention this in yesterday’s post, but forgot), I posted a video on Saturday of our participation in the Mice Bucket Challenge. If you haven’t seen it, you need to – it couldn’t have gone any more perfectly.

I filled in for the Friday morning cage cleaner at Petsmart last week. Here are the pictures I took.
That silly Hattie is just a blur. I must have taken 20 pictures of her, and with her racing around and kicking that spring toy around, most of them came out all blurred, like this.
A brief moment of stillness, and then she was off again.
No, his name is NOT “dustpan” (although that kind of would be a funny name for a kitten, wouldn’t it?), he’s just hanging out where the dustpan is stored. That’s Frasier.
That’s Vinnie Verano, looking amused by something. He’s the one who was adopted Friday night.
Monday and Java (the little tortie, who’s kind of hard to see), checking out the carrier. Flopped down in front of the carrier is Frasier.
Blaster. He is just so kissable!
Java really liked hanging out on top of that carrier.
Marshall, who needs a squeeze.
How many cats do you see?
(Answer: There are four. Monday’s the black and white tuxie in the middle, Orlando’s in the cage. There’s an orange tail on the left belonging to Vinnie Verano, and the end of Julep’s orange tail on the right, just above Monday’s uplifted paw.)
One of the cats in this picture is going home tonight!
Climbin’ Frasier.
Sweet little Java.
Jigger (left) faces down Monday.
Julep. She’s a sweet little goofball.
Monday, watching the kittens race around.
Sweet Blaster.

Looking at this picture, I’m sure you can almost hear how loudly Joe Bob was purring. He sure is a lovebug.
Love that Jobey-Joe.
