Tuxedo cats

 Apparently National Tuxedo Cat Day was last week. At the moment we have three here:

The primary tuxedo
(Chanel)

The secondary tuxedo 
(Goldfish)

The bad tuxedo
(Amchoor the foster kitten)
*ok he's not bad just full of shenanigans 

The traffic kittens are doing well. Detour is making progress in boot camp. Roundabout is asking for attention and loves pets so that's great. Traffic Cone now let's mom approach him and pet him without hissing most of the time.

Almost turkey day

 OK - at least in the US. We realize for the rest of you it's just Thursday. 

Amchoor (one of the Indian spices kittens) is doing better and will likely go a partner store after next weekend. He was released from the crate last week and has mostly been behaving. He's just by himself so he tends to harass anyone he can find.

A change with the traffic kittens. Detour has gone to ornery kitten boot camp with Aunt Heather. While mom is ok with hissy kittens, Heather is better at it. Detour is in a smaller space with less options and will hopefully make better progress. 

Also Traffic Cone and Roundabout seem to be a little calmer without her in there. Roundabout sits and accepts pets and purrs almost immediately. Next step is to get her to come ask for attention. TC is still a littke leery but once you start petting him, he relaxes.

Otherwise we are just hanging around.

Progress maybe

 Going back to titles. My hit rate went down by a lot. Haha

Anyhow, the traffic kittens are relaxing some. Roundabout (the tortie) can be approached and petted. She has even purred. Her brother Traffic Cone is unsure. He hisses and mom has to catch him but will let her pick him up and has purred a couple of times. Detour would still like mom to drop off the planet. 



Mom tried putting their caned food bear her and just sitting there but finally had to push it a couple of feet away to get Roundabout to eat. TC came up after her to clean up. Detour was a hard no. 

Mom is doing some research and talking to some friends about the next steps.

The crate in the living room is currently occupied by one of the spice boys (Amchoor) who had to come back from the store due to a cold. 


Buttons discovered that is she walks across the sofa and climbs on the arm she can maneuver into the Sleepypod. She was very proud of herself (and determined to give mom a heart attack).
