If you’ve ever wondered what the kittens’ bellies look like, here you go.
Daphne.
Zeus.
Cassandra.
Pandora.
And Zephyr!
The kittens haven’t really gotten the hang of Churu time yet (fortunately, Calliope’s willing to take one for the team and eat it all. She’s a giver!)
Zephyr’s face is cracking me UP.
They’re starting to really enjoy the wall beds – Zephyr and Daphne were snoozing away up there.
Zeus joined them.
I was hanging out on the couch and looked up to see Daphne (left) and Zeus eyeballing me.
Zeus moved to a wall shelf to get a closer look at me.
Calliope pie! (My favorite!)
Calliope is OUTTA HERE this morning, off to finally get her spay. All week long I’ve been saying “I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY!” because despite my belief on Monday, she never came out of heat. Did you know that a cat’s heat cycle can last 21 days? I DID NOT. NOW I DO. She’s been VERY vocal which has not been fun (but I will say that with the help of earplugs and a bedside fan, I don’t hear a THING at night), and she’s been SUPER DUPER friendly which is really pretty sweet if occasionally annoying.
She’ll be back here tonight, and we’ll all be glad to have that done and over with! (There has been zero, zip, zilch interest in adopting her – no inquiries, no applications – so she’ll be with us for the time being.)

Khal and Magoo have a snooze.

Zeus strikes a pose.
Throw Back Thursday: 2015, the summer of endless bottle babies (or so it seemed.) Upstairs we had the Squash Bugs – Zucchini, Calabash and Pattypan – who were IRATE that their sister Ambercup was getting the bottle and that they had to wait. They were starving – STARVING! (And yet somehow they survived.) Downstairs, we had the Swimmers, who were just starting to learn about solid food, and Spitz thought it best to absorb his food by swimming in it.

Throw Back Thursday: from 2022, it’s Los Gatos Hermanos (Kim Wexler, Francesa, Gustavo, Ignacio, Lalo, Saul and Mike) in the foster room. It’s about 90% Mike sleeping in my hand, though.
Throw Back Thursday: That’s permanent resident Charlie (then Aramis) back in 2020 at about 10 weeks old – and now at 6 years old!

4 1/2 minutes of the kittens crazypantsing it up. They’re certainly an entertaining bunch!
Calliope is training her kittens in the proper trapping and eating of a feather teaser.
Good night innernets. (Cassandra)
