The naming....

 So everyone know we love a good theme. In this case we think we have cute names for the girls....though mom can't think of a good hashtag.

Meet Aioli


She is our newest arrival. Found by a volunteer just sitting on a hot sidewalk. Parasites, fleas and snot. Oh my. Fortunately we are just down to meds for the snot. Once she is fine with her meds she will move to the foster room.

Meet Harisa:


OK....so you've met her before. But she needed a better name. She is still hand shy - she will duck and run if you come at her directly and too quickly. But she will come over looking for attention and relaxes pretty quickly once she's caught.

Meet Chutney and Tapenade. 

Yeah....no pictures. They need a bath (again). More pictures once they are cleaned up. They are still behind the panels in the foster room but those may come down soon. They ate still pretty little but doing well. Except for that self cleaning thing but we are hoping that gets better after this next bath. 

Cameron is hanging with the girls. 

And of course Gordon has decided he lives in the house and his favorite game is dive bombing Chanel. She's thrilled (not).

Meet the kittens

milk bar time with momma

even at this age they are squirmy and make it hard to get pictures

our big headed girl


Actually, mom weighed them on Tuesday and they are all about the same weight, but that one girl sure does LOOK like she has a big head (especially compared to her brother).

Momma cat was tested on Tuesday (in case you missed it on facebook) and is negative for FIV and FeLV so that is good news. She actually was very well behaved for the blood draw as well.

That said, she is still VERY nervous. She was found outside, spent a couple of days with another volunteer and moved in with us on Sunday. No telling how long she was on the streets by herself, but at least a few days defending her kittens. While she isn't charging the door to get out of the kitten room, she sensed Chanel on the other side of the doors on Wednesday morning and charged AT the doors to make her back up.

Also - she has smacked mom a few times. It seems to be is mom's hands move too fast or in a certain manner. But that momma cat has a hair trigger going from "pet me" to "I slap you" in 0.25 seconds. For now mom is giving her lots of space and moving very slowly in the foster room while keeping her hands low and close to her body.

And now.....the moment you have been waiting for....the names:
   Momma cat shall be Bissell
   black female is Roomba
   tabby female (she has white toes and belly) is Dyson
   tabby male is Hoover

Get it??? Vacuum cleaner kittens......  (yes - mom cracks herself up)

**on a side note, mom checked the web cam yesterday and no momma cat, no kittens. WHAT?? She went back and checked motion controlled pictures and it looks like Bissell moved the kittens into one of the storage bins in the Ikea cabinet. just great.....
