Kind of wordy Wednesday...

Junior (now)

Junior (4 months)

Jimmy (or Junior Junior as he is becoming known)

Yeah - can't fool us - that feral family tree doesn't fork too far....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mom took Jimmy & Zoe with to the shelter last night but no empty cages so they came back. All that after running around picking up Grace to keep Audrey company and being late....oh well. Zoe was ornery with Grace when she got back home. Too funny..... They were calling each other names this morning too, but when mom checked on them (she was in the shower), Grace was pouncing on Zoe as Zoe was growling and protesting. Mom stopped feeling sorry for Grace at that point. :)

Update (11am est): Zoe and Jimmy will go Thursday. There was a miscommunication and their cage wasn't ready but will be after today.

Chiclet might have an opportunity to be up for adoption at a local Petsmart. She would have to go from our house to a cage over there, but at least people would be able to see her cute self. She knows her name which makes mom smile. Mom called her over last night and got her up on the bed....mom got to cuddle with her and when she moved her fingers over the blanket, Chiclet got that "kitten" expression and POUNCED!

something about those 3 day summer holiday weekends....

It was a HOT weekend here. Mom slammed the windows and turned on the a/c. While some of us would prefer open windows, she found Spud and Chiclet sleeping on the floor vents at different times over the weekend (no not together - MOL).

Saturday was running around. Sunday was the transport and more laying around.

And then Monday. Mom went to the shelter to help clean since it was a holiday. Then home to do laundry. And about 1:30pm she got a call from a neighbor. They.....caught a kitten!!!

And no, that isn't Bug. But it is one of her relatives. Even down to the gray spot on the top of her head (you will have to take our word for it). This is a little girl as well. She was pretty scared at first, but by the 3rd time mom got her out and held her, she was purring (loudly) and loving on mom. She weighs just over a pound, but appears to be about 6 weeks old.

At 5am however, this morning, she was screaming for attention. And we do mean screaming!!! Mom kicked us out of the bedroom and took her in there thinking she might calm down, but no such luck. Mom finally ignored her and she cried some but did settle down a little to let mom get a bit more sleep. Funny that she didn't want to be caught or have anything to do with people and now, in about 18 hours, she is all needy.

Mom checked her phone this morning and.....they caught 2 more!!! Mom ran over to pick them up and they are now in the bathroom with their sister. One fuzzy girl and the other is short haired (no gender - that kitten was ticked off). All of them white. We know there is a calico kitten and they think there might be a tabby. They are going to keep trying to catch them over the next couple of days.

Oh, and they are stuck in the bathroom until we get the all clear on the FeLV cooties. Mom is going to contact the shelter and see if they will take these guys when they get big enough.
