This time last year – among other kittens – we had these two charmers. Remember them?
(Charming)
(Jareth)
As I’m sure you remember, they were adopted together. Jareth is now Sooty, and Charming is now Toby. They’re more than a year old now (can you believe that?!), and I got an update and some pictures from their mom.
The floofalicious Toby.
Keeping an eye on something. Maybe it’s his brother?
And maybe Sooty’s keeping an eye on Toby!
All growed up and absolutely gorgeous.
The boys are now 17 pounds each and when they race through the house it sounds like a herd of wild horses. Don’t you just love it when siblings get to spend their entire lives together? That’s the best!

Livia is such a playful girl.
She LOVES that feather teaser (she has that in common with Tricki).
Silly girl.
Whenever she hears the sound of the bells on the feather teaser, Tricki comes running.
She keeps her eyes on that thing. (She also jumps up after it, but the camera was not cooperating.)
GORGEOUS girl.
Dennis keeps an eye on the girls from the safety of the fish cave.
This is just about Thomas’s favorite place to hang out – if he’s not curled up in this chair, he’s curled up on Fred’s bed.
Dennis on the cat tree, stretching after a nap.
Livia sniffs out the situation.
Thomas is all “Do you MIND?”
So far, things are going really well in the foster room. Livia has calmed down and I didn’t hear her hiss at all on Sunday, even though Thomas flopped down pretty close to her several times. This is great news, since it means that she can coexist peacefully with other cats*. I would imagine, if she’d been properly introduced rather than just being put into the room with Tricki, Dennis and Thomas, that it would have gone even more smoothly.
(I should add here that although I didn’t see it happening with my own eyes, Fred reported that Livia and Dennis were playing together yesterday afternoon!)
She certainly does love to be petted and loved on. She’s going to make someone a nice lap cat.
*She didn’t get along well with the permanent residents at all when she was here before; I imagine she felt that she needed to “protect” her babies, which can make a sweet mama kitty kind of tense toward other cats.

Look at the attitude on THIS one. “What do YOU want, lady?”
