Good News

Bacall was adopted!!!

Mom dropped her off at the adoption center on Saturday. Bacall went into the room with the older kittens and marched right in like she owned the place. When mom was leaving, Bacall was standing on the small air purifier in the room turning it off and on.

Sunday afternoon mom got a text from a friend that Bacall was being adopted. Mom thought maybe her friend had made the suggestion, but as it turns out, the family was in the kitten room, fell in love and came out asking about her. No other cats in the home but one 7 year old boy. Mom's friend said the mom was very attentive with him and he was great with Bacall.

Best wishes little girl...sounds like mom got you back up there just in time for your family to find you.

We had several comments about the box that Junior was sleeping in on Wednesday's post. It is made by Vesper and we won it in a giveaway. But that thing is STURDY and gets a lot of use. If mom had more green papers, we would have more furniture from them.

Cute family portrait. Mom needs to do something about that curtain though - she is thinking about just cutting the bottom part off and making it shorter.

Mistress of the dangle

Bacall will be headed up to the adoption center this weekend. She still occasionally sneezes and sometimes makes a weird snorty noise. Mom will talk to the head of the rescue and see what she wants to do. However, the bouncy girl is ready for a home of her own....

Have a wonderful long weekend (for our US readers). Mom plans to take it easy. The weather is supposed to stay nice and not get too warm....we live on the 2nd floor so mom has been leaving the windows open and the a/c off though she will run it for about an hour if it gets too hot up here. Mom is taking Monday off, so we will see you back here on Tuesday.

introoder alert

When mom goes into the foster room, Bacall gets all kinds of wound up and wants to get in there:

Why yes, she IS walking on the top of the divider doors.

NO, she shouldn't be up there.

Foxy is the first guard to check out the introoder.

Despite her expression, Panache REALLY doesn't care that Bacall is in the room.

In fact, she chirps at Bacall and mom caught her kissing the kitten the other morning.

Notice however that Foxy and Fish appear very suspicious.

Foxy expresses her displeasure

Bacall gets all flirty - it didn't work

what? we didn't do anything

right - they are the picture of innocence (not)

Fortunately, Panache doesn't care if Bacall is in the room. Bacall is very good with the kittens and isn't pushy or trying to play rough. Fish and Mallard seem indifferent after the first couple of minutes but even after a few days, Foxy is holding a hard line that Bacall is not to be trusted.

Wednesday morning Bacall followed mom into the foster room like she does. And - since mom didn't have her camera with her - Bacall jumped Panache and was trying to get her to play. Bless that momma cat - not only does she put up with her own kittens she is fine putting up with this one as well.

weekend report

The girls are hilarious together. Daiquiri found a couple of spring toys from the black hole where she hides them and has been playing with them all weekend. This of course gets Bacall all wound up and she feels the need to intrude play along.

Daiquiri is kind of possessive of those toys however and feels no

compunction about growling at Bacall.

Come on Miss Daiquiri - please let me play with it

Some kitten will be here for another week or so. She has this on again/off again sneeze that mom is medicating. In the meantime, she is having a blast sleeping on the bed, snoozing on mom all weekend and chasing Ivy and Daiquiri around the house.

There is a family out there that is going to adopt an awesome kitten. She is a little nosy with no sense of personal space some times, but she is fun loving, outgoing and super friendly. We would recommend she get adopted with another kitten or a young cat in the house willing to play with her.... a lot.

on the loose

With her siblings all off at the adoption center or a partner store, Miss Bacall would have been in the foster room by herself. Except we needed that space for Panache and the kittens. She could have gone in the crate, but she is big enough to be out and honestly after listening to her brothers howl in the crate, there is no reason for it.

As of Saturday morning, Bacall had free run of the house. She came right out and made herself at home - no hissing, no nothing with the permanent residents. Of course, none of them got too bent out of shape about her being out either. She did get up in Mozart's face at one point and he gave her the paw of doom so she has learned decided to leave him alone.

It has been a while since there were kittens on the loose in the house. Mom wasn't too sure how it would go overnight. Saturday night Bacall found somewhere else to sleep - mom thinks most likely on the back of the sofa since that is where she was Sunday morning. However, Sunday night Bacall got up on the bed and made herself right at home. Luckily, she picked a spot right next to mom's pillow once the lights went out and she didn't move all night except to occasionally get more comfortable.

Of course, there are always toys to play with....and a Daiquiri to get interested.

Harlow and Bacall

We just have to say right off the bat that this has been a fabulous group of kittens. OK - they have been snotty and had eyeball issues and given mom some heartburn. But....they are lovey and purry and outgoing and never met a stranger. They have wonderful personalities and will make great additions to any family.

Harlow was spayed on Wednesday. Bacall has some on again/off again snot and mom didn't want to deal with the clinic, so she is on hold for right now. However, the girls are hilarious together and have such similar markings that mom thought she would give them a day to themselves on the blog.
