I dropped Jon Snow off at Petsmart around 11:30. An hour and a half later I got an email from Susan…
Jon Snow went home to join his new big brudders, who you have met before – Ashford and Beans (formerly known as Baby Beans)! Hopefully we’ll get updates on the boys as Jon Snow settles in.
A few hours later?
They were adopted… TOGETHER! And just like that, I went from three kittens at Petsmart to NO kittens at Petsmart! In fact, the only foster we’ve got at the moment is Norbie, who will be with us just a little while longer.
As the only kitten in the house, I couldn’t in good conscience lock Norbie in the foster room by himself, so he got to stay out all night. At first he raced and raced (and raced!) around like a wild thing, leaping and jumping and requiring a scolding. Then he snuggled up next to me under the covers while I read. Then I’m not sure what he did for the rest of the night – I do know he slept curled up next to me for at least part of the night, and then woke me up at 4:15, rolling around and purring and kneading. A little snuggling, and then he was off to parts unknown while I went back to sleep. I imagine as the next few nights go by, he’ll adjust to being out all the time.
Yesterday morning I spent two hours scrubbing and organizing the foster room. The door is now shut so that no one can go in there (Sugarbutt and Tommy are more disturbed about that than anyone – they like hanging out in there during the day. I don’t think Norbie has even been back upstairs since he realized he was freeeeeeeeeeeeee) and hopefully it’ll be occupied in the near future (but not today. Not THAT near of a future).
NO DETAILS FOR YOU. Yet. I don’t want to jinx anything!

Locals! Did you know that the North Alabama Spay and Neuter Clinic, located in Huntsville, has NO income requirements? You don’t have to qualify, everyone pays the same low price – cats are $45 for a neuter, $55 for a spay. Dogs are $60 for a neuter and $70 for a spay. You certainly can’t beat those prices!
Go “like” them on Facebook. Go on, now. You know you wanna!

I still have pictures of Jon Snow, Hodor, and Brandon, so I’ll share those today and tomorrow, so we can gaze upon their sweet little faces and remember how utterly adorable they are (and there’s some Norbie pics in there, too, of course.)
It’s a Norbie! In a box! A Norbie in a box!
Norbie and Jon Snow, tussling.
Norbie and Jon Snow, snuggling. Such snugglebugs, these two. Since his snugglebuddies have all left him, Norbie has resorted to snuggling with Jake when he needs some feline affection.
“Who, ME? I wasn’t doing anything! No, really!”
Sweet, sweet, sweet Hodor.
“HODOOOOOOOOOOOR!”
Kitten bellies make good pillows.
Jon Snow, annoyed with me even while sound asleep.
Spotted, long-legged Hodor.
“BRANDOOOOOOOOON!” Nope, sorry. Doesn’t have the same ring to it, little guy.
Sometimes his eyes look SO blue, and sometimes they don’t look blue in the slightest.
Stefan checks out Norbie in the box.
Norbie would like A LITTLE PRIVACY, PLEASE, Stefan.
This picture reminds me so very much of…
This one!
Aww, Jon Snow. You silly, sweet boy.

Oh, Joe Bob. 75 cat beds in this house, and you use my boots as a pillow. You make me despair, young man.
