I got an update from Toby (formerly Charming) and Sooty (formerly Jareth)’s parents! The boys are doing GREAT. There was a little bit of hissiness and floofiness for a very brief amount of time when they were reunited, but the boys remembered each other quickly, and now it’s like they were never apart. They run and play, snuggle and groom each other – they’re inseparable. The older statecat of the house (Harley) is tolerant of them at the moment, but I suspect it’s not going to be long before he won’t be able to help himself, and will end up playing with Toby and Sooty.
“We like to drink ‘purrified’ water.”
Toby’s glamour shot.
“Just chillin’ out.” (They’re on the freezer.)
All three kitties on the cat tree. (I love that Sooty is peering in at Harley, all “WHAT GOIN’ ON IN HERE?!”)
Isn’t it awesome to see those boys doing so well? I LOVE it!

And speaking of updates, some of you donated to help Heaven feed her new little fosters (as mentioned in last Saturday’s post). Last night, she posted a video of them eating their first meal of canned food. You can see the video here!
That’s pretty much what it’s like, getting kittens to eat on their own. First you put them in front of the food and they sniff it and say “Um, no. I’m good. GIVE ME THE BOTTLE!” Then you put some in their mouths, and the light goes on over their head and they’re like “GIVE ME MOOOOOOORE!” So adorable – the more they do it, the better they get at it, and then one day you have kittens who can eat food on their own, off a plate, and NOT make a huge mess of it!

Brandon would like you to check out his humongous feet, please.
Arya and Hodor show off their food beards.
Jon Snow prefers that I not play with his paws, and threatens to bite with his sharp little teeth. Remember when I first got these guys and how they had no teeth at all yet? Time flies!
Little boy with the attitude, that Brandon.
“Iiiiiiiiiii am just a poor wee babyyyyyyy!”
“Hugs?”
“HI-dor!”
“Look at my paws! LOOK AT THEM!”
Here’s a video to show that even though they are WELL over 5 weeks old, those Starks still insist on their bottle time. That’s kind of old news, though, actually. As of last night, all four kittens are eating food (messily) off of plates, and when I offered them the bottle, only Hodor drank any of the formula. I’m going to continue to offer the bottle for another day or so, but I’m pretty sure we’re done with the bottle.

Roofy Toofy Fresh and Froofy. And Puffles.
He looks very Bill the Cat here, doesn’t he?
And a bit Joker-esque, here.
All five! Looking in my general direction! I call that a success.
It must have been a particularly tiring day.
“A Kitty Boinks? For meeeeee?”
Lots of teeth in today’s post.
I’m surprised the weight of that noggin didn’t pull him right over the side of that platform. He must have a really strong neck.
“That tickles!”
I sure wish Scorch could find a way to relax.
The Dragons are going for their spaying and neutering next Tuesday! They’ll be 12 weeks and able to get their fixin’, their id chips, and their rabies shots, all at once. Can you BELIEVE they’re almost 12 weeks old?
Here’s a video to show Scorch’s flirty little monkey ways.
