I know you guys remember Baby Beans – though of course I’m happy to provide a picture as reference:
He was adopted in March, and that story is at the top of the post, here.
In the comments yesterday Nichole posted some links to pictures!
Just wanted to follow up with Baby Bean and Ashford (formerly Sootie)
Bean has settled in very nicely with Ashford and here’s some shots I’ve taken over the last few months.
Bean likes the water I keep on the nightstand.
Time for sun naps.
Completely innocent!! Until caught…
Thank you so much for the update, Nichole! And give those sweet boys kisses from all of us.

The Royals got off to Petsmart just fine, no problems. They were amazingly calm once I put them in the cage – no one went into the litter box to hide, and no one was too freaked out. Aslan seemed the most nervous, but even he was way calmer than some of the kittens I’ve taken to Petsmart in the past.
I took the carriers back out to the car and then went back into the store to do a little shopping. By the time I got back to the cat room to see how they were doing, someone was already in there holding Charming, who was just like “What up, y’all?” That boy is such a laid-back cuddlebug.
No one was adopted last night, but I have hopes that at least a couple go home today!
“They just wasn’t the right people, lady. It takes special people to properly appreciate my charms.”
“Will there be stinky slippers at Petsmart? I’m going to miss the stinky slippers.”
“I wasn’t nervous. I was just being RESERVED.”
The girls, taking in some sun on my bed yesterday morning.
“HALLO.”
“Try focusing, lady. It makes a world of difference.”
Pretty Leia.
Nap time for the girlies.
A couple of videos! First, Aslan lurves his Uncle Jake (and Uncle Jake is very very smug about that.)
And secondly, Jareth is a wild thing, and Aslan loves to complain.

“You not gonna miss THOSE kittens, lady. You gots plenty of kittens in here!”
The smallest and the biggest Dragons, side by side.
And again.
I was going to say that there isn’t that much difference in their sizes, but then I went and looked at the weight chart (bottom of this page), and yeah. Scorch actually weighs half a pound more than Ember, so there IS kind of a big difference. It doesn’t stop her from picking fights with him, though. She ain’t skeered!
“GET OFF ME, YOU BIG LUNK!”
(“Lunk” would be a good kitten name.)
Norbert loves to hang out on this scratcher and swipe at Khaleesi when she goes by.
Khaleesi, ever the mama, has to check for cleanliness. (Puff, over on the ess scratcher is cracking me up.)
::thlurp::
“HEY. There’s a tunnel here!”
“What’s IN here?”
“NO! Don’t go through the tunnel, bro. It’s not safe!”
Do I kiss this little face a zillion times a day? You KNOW I do.
Ember and her pink puff.
That poor baby sock monkey. He sure does take a lot of abuse!
The Dragons felt particularly heavy to me yesterday, all of a sudden, so I broke out the scale. We’ve got our first Dragon – Scorch – who’s over the two pound mark. Ember’s the smallest, at just over 1 1/2 pounds, but I don’t think it’s going to be too much longer before they’re all over two pounds. (By the time Ember crosses that mark, Scorch might be three pounds, at the rate he’s going!)
I have a Dragons video. They’re 7 weeks old, and wild little things! Well, the boys are – Ember just sat and watched, and Ruth was off somewhere else doing her own thing (you can hear Khaleesi talking to me.)

Yeah, I assumed y’all knew that we consider Stefan a permanent resident now. I don’t see him becoming an indoor cat, but I also thought the same about Coltrane, and you remember how that went. So for now we’re feeding and caring for him, and keeping an eye on him. That spot on his chest was something he did before he showed up here – the vet didn’t think it was anything to be worried about, that it was in the process of healing. Fred reports that it feels like scar tissue, but in any case it doesn’t seem to bother him at all. It sure does make him look like a beat-up tomcat, doesn’t it?
