This picture is from before Lilybet was spayed – her stomach is more shaved than that now (which you’ll see in pictures later this week.)
Noelegy said in the comments yesterday that Lilybet is a daffy girl. “Daffy” is absolutely the perfect word to describe her!
Using the long-legged cheetah toy as a body pillow.
Lilybet has moved out of Crooked Acres and into another Challenger’s House foster home. My parents are coming to visit next week, and we’ll need the guest bedroom for humans (what a wacky concept!), and since Lilybet’s just cooling her heels waiting for her final vaccination before she can head off to Petsmart, the other foster family was happy to take her.
The shelter manager dropped her off with her new foster family, and said that Lilybet was relaxed and exploring when she left. Which sounds about right – not much gets that girl in a tizzy, so she’ll be just fine.
Of course, I have more Lilybet pics to share, so you’ll be seeing her at least a few more days.

I wish Kennebec liked Da Bird.
But, I don’t know, he seems a little bored by it.
Like “Oh, that old toy? Meh.”
The straight-up tail cracks me up.
With moves like these, I’m thinking he could be a movie stuntman.
Right before he landed on Corbie. You KNOW Corbie was thrilled about that.
Batman with the flirty, seductive gaze.
And the “I’m just a wee cute kitteh!” pose.
I’ll be headed out of here in a while to deliver Kennebec, Batman and Robin to Petsmart. I will, of course, report to y’all when they’re adopted – because I know (hope) they’ll be adopted super quickly.

Hey.
When you read up there that Lilybet needed to go to another foster home to free up the guest bedroom, did you think to yourself “But, why can’t Lilybet stay in the foster room?” Were you all confused and befuddled and “I did read that they have a foster room and then they also use the guest bedroom too, sometimes, didn’t I?”
To set the record straight, we do indeed have a foster room. That’s our main room for foster kitties, and then when we have a second litter going on, we also use the guest bedroom.
However.
Friday evening, we moved Lilybet from the foster room to the guest bedroom.
So that I could scrub down the foster room.
So that someone else could take residency on Sunday.
SAY HALLO TO MY PREGNANT MAMA KITTEH!
This sweet girl is Catherine. I named her myself, after the Duchess of Cambridge, of course, because we’re going to attempt another try at the Royals naming theme that Lilybet foiled for us. We’ll most likely call her Kate, and possibly Katie.
I have zero doubt that she’s pregnant. She’s got the big ol’ pregnant belly going on, and she’s got nipples that are definitely THERE. I would report the color and texture of her nipples to you nipple-obsessed readers (you know who you are!), but she’s a medium-hair, so I can feel the nipples when I rub her belly, but I can’t actually see them just yet.
She showed up at the house of a woman and her son; I think they have a problem with dropoffs in that area, and Kate hovered around their back yard for a while before she decided to make herself at home. She is super sweet and friendly and loves to be petted and to have her belly rubbed.
At the vet yesterday (her combo test came back negative, yay!), they said that she’s about three years old. As an unspayed 3 year old, I doubt that this is her first litter. If I recall correctly, the older a cat is, and the more litters she’s had, the larger her litters tend to be. I might be wrong about that, though.
I have no idea when she’s going to give us those babies, though I hope and pray that it’s after Sunday. I’m leaving town Thursday and coming back Sunday morning, so if she holds on longer than that, I’ll be happy.
And of COURSE there’s going to be a naming pool for this litter! Click on the pic below to see how to enter and where to see the spreadsheet.

Oh, poor sweet Alice. It is a rough, rough, ROUGH life.
“Stop mocking me, lady. AND STOP BRINGING MORE CATS INTO THIS HOUSE.”
