No babies for you!
I weighed her yesterday, and found that she’s gained half a pound since last Friday. So, the babies are growing, that’s for sure.
Several people have pointed out her resemblance to former fosters, so for comparison issues, here we go. First, Mama:
Next, Khaleesi:
Such a nut, that one.
And then Livia:
And lastly…
That’s Dora, who was formerly Kara’s daughter, Inara.
I think she bears the strongest resemblance to Livia, but I definitely see the Khaleesi and Dora in her, too. No wonder she looked so familiar to me when I first saw her!
(Speaking of Livia, she got herself a little brother last night, a Challenger’s House cat named Tulsa. Tulsa was adopted out at some point in the past few years, and then returned recently. He went to Petsmart last night, and was adopted last night! Yay, Tulsa!)
“I see what you’re doing, lady.”
Look at that belly! Apparently she’s carrying more of them to the left than the right. I hope they distribute themselves more evenly, soon, because I can just imagine her tipping over like a boat with too many partiers on one side.
A shot with the fisheye lens. I love this picture!
She loves to walk around with that tail straight up in the air. She is such a sweet girl.

Four years ago, I posted this series of pictures about Elwood, bless his heart.
Apparently that sort of dimness is genetic, because last week…
“I don’t… what is going ON?”
“Why do my paws feel WET???”
“This just… isn’t RIGHT.”
“You guys seeing this?!”
Bless his heart.
Speaking of Jake and Elwood (newer readers: Elwood was Jake’s brother who died in December 2012 from FIP), Sari asked in yesterday’s comments where she could find what I’d written about them when they first showed up. Which is when I realized that although I’d written about them elsewhere, I hadn’t posted about them here at Love & Hisses. Back in 2009 I didn’t mention the permanent residents very often (the thought being that this site was meant to be just about the fosters.)
Well, I’ve remedied that, and you can read here about how Jake and Elwood came to us. Also linked in that post is Fred’s theory on how exactly it happened (which he originally posted on the blog he had at the time, which is no longer in existence.)

2013: “MAMA I AM STARVING WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUU?!”
2012: For future reference (although I’m sure I’ll never remember this), it’s apparently at the 3 1/2 week mark when the kittens lose their fear and start seriously venturing forth from their safe place.
2011: No entry.
2010: I don’t know what the number is that determines crazy cat lady-hood, but I’ve got to say that two can’t possibly be the number. That’s hardly even cat PERSON level, right there.
2009: Beulah thinks this is the MOST FUN EVER, and she crawls up on the back of my leg and hangs on for the ride.
2008: No entry.
