I completely spaced on mentioning this in Friday’s post: the Squash Bugs came through their spays and neuter surgeries just fine. I got them home Thursday evening, and I’m pretty sure they had no idea anything had even been done to them. They’re all set to go to Petsmart tomorrow – and I’ll be sad to see them go, but hopeful that they’ll all be adopted quickly.
The Swimmers will be headed for their spay and neuters next week, and then when space permits, they’ll be off to Petsmart, too.
In the evening, we prop the screen door at the bottom of the stairs open so that the kittens can come out into the downstairs and race around. Zuke finds the screen door a little confusing.
Stefan lets Louganis know who the boss is, and it ain’t Louganis.
“Not sure I like that big kitty, lady.”
Torres is super fond of the big fluffy purple blanket Fred has over him while we’re watching TV.
After they race around, they like to pile up on the little tree in front of the window where Tommy used to lay. Here are Ambercup, Spitz, Phelps and Calabash. I think they could fit one more kitten in there if they really wanted to.
Pattypan, Spitz, and Louganis.

“Ess-SCUSE me, lady, you got a bottle over there?”
Toe-cleanin’.
I love the thousand-yard stare they get when they’re having their bottle.
“Oh, ba-ba, I love you sooooo.”
Skinny Pete has a moment of annoyance.
Baff time for Pete.
Badger has a skeptical.
“Why you keep us in this tub, you awful woman?”
Over the weekend, I got out the playpen I bought to use when the Swimmers were little. I set it up in my room, and on Saturday and Sunday I put the BeeBees in there during the day. At feeding time, I shut the door and let them run around my room. At night, after their last feeding, I put them in the bathtub in my bathroom (I’m sure they’d like to stay in the playpen overnight, but I wouldn’t be able to sleep with them in the same room, peeping and complaining).

“Is time for the snackin’, lady?” Archie’s always ready for snack time. ALWAYS.
