New toy

 We had wanted one of these so when mom saw it on sale she bought one.

The kittens find it interesting. Funny enough Chanel is fascinated. But they are having fun figuring it out.

Mom got to visit Detour on Sunday. She's the sister of Roundabout and Traffic Cone but it with another foster who is better with hissy kittens. Detour is still a work in progress but mom got to hold her and she sat on the sofa for a while during the visit. Great progress. The facial expression may be another matter. Haha

Happy 2026

 Wolf got adopted on Saturday!! 

Also Haldi was adopted so all of the spice kittens are now adopted.

Traffic Cone and Roundabout are now out in the house during the day and in the foster room at night. They play pretty rough which annoys Buttons so overnight gives her a little peace. Roundabout is pretty much ready to be adopted and is on the rescue website. However, TC definitely regressed while mom was out of town. Since they do play so hard, mom is just keeping Roundabout here for the time being. 

Vacation

 A day late...mom was on vacation. A friend had plans to travel to Las Vegas for an event and mom went along as company. 

They had a good time but came back pretty tired. And of course they found a cat cafe. They visited Hearts Alive Cat Cafe and met some lovely cats and great rescue ladies. 

There was a Goldfish look alike named Winnie - much more social than Goldfish though. Ignore the ears - she got startled as the picture was being taken.

Mom also fell in love with Sputnik. He's about 18 months old and FIV+. He's a sweet boy but hasn't been there long so he is in a tower when he can't be supervised since he's fine with some cats but not every cat. Mom decided to sponsor his adoption fee.

They saw some great sights, walked a lot and ate a lot. Mom says she is glad to be home though. 

Wolf went back to the shelter to be available for adoption yesterday. He will be the youngest kitten currently available so hopefully he gets adopted quickly. 

Traffic Cone and Roundabout did ok with mom being gone. They apparently didn't want to make friends with the pet sitter but were chirping at mom when she got up on Monday. Roundabout was her normal self and is probably ready for the partner store and and adoption. TC however needs more time. Mom tried to pick him up on Monday and he scrambled to escape so she needs to reset that with him. But overall they did well. 

Mom hopes to do a round up post but those require a little more time to put together. In the meantime we wish you a safe and happy new year and purrs for a good 2026.
