  Two down five to go!

  Filed under: The Fosters;

  Today all our kittens had their first visitors! Mandy from the rescue group came by to vaccinate them and a young coupe that is adopting two kittens from the litter came by as well. Very nice people, I’m glad too because they’ll be good to the cats and that’s pretty important to me. I’m really relieved actually.

  Mandy also made friends with Jackie, see? he loves her so much he was showing off his signature move. The Iron Cross.

  

  The couple that’s adopting Lucky and Danica were probably not too impressed with the kitten behavior. They’ve never seen people before other than me, and I’m an old gray ugly guy! It wasn’t easy keeping everyone together (the four white ones) but we managed, and they picked out the two they like. Here’s a great picture of them

  

  As you can see here they spent a lot of time chasing them around

  

  

  All around it was a great day today! two kittens have a great home to go to and everyone is vaccinated. In two weeks Mandy will come back and microchip them, and after that it’s off to get their bits cut off :(.

  Massive bedroom project

  Filed under: The Fosters;

  I couldn’t take it anymore. My bedroom had turned into some sort of mayhem fueled, turd scattered minefield. Cats everywhere, dry food scattered all over. Wet food (pouches) splattered on the carpet and just a mess of ’stuff’. So I cleaned the whole room today. Said the heck with it.

  The upside? i found a use for those FedEx boxes I no longer needed.

  The bed’s messy because even after making it the kittens immediately scrambled forces, met on top and planned their revenge on me for cleaning up their landmines and paper shreddings
  
  By the way, one thing you’ll notice. There are NO pictures or any artwork on any wall in my home. I like bare walls.

  Next, we see the tactfully and artfully placed litter box and food dishes. ( i left the landmines in the litter box hoping they’ll think “Hey, that must be where we’re suppose to put them”)
  

  

  And finally, an unexpected surprise! Notice the kittens remind me directly after cleaning the room that I cannot deter them from ‘dookin’ where they see fit.
  

  UPDATE at 11:22pm PST:

  Oh nice. Murphy and his law stepped in for a visit. After doing all this cleaning, the little black kitten (Jackie) was turtle heading (you know what that is right?) and he smeared poop all over 3 of the white kittens. One really badly behind the head. He also left poop spots in numerous places on the carpet in the closet, and was kind enough to do the same on one of my pillows. See, the bed is pretty high and although the kittens have no quams with leaping off It still bugs me when they ‘thump’. So i put a pillow down where they usually land. Since I was cleaning today i decided to put fresh linens on the bed…….. Now one of the pillows has at least 7 poop blots on it.

  Oh and he still had dingleberries when he climbed up my t-shirt to sit on my shoulder. How I avoided my own little treasure is beyond me.

  Suffice to say that 4 kittens now need a bath, and his fur is nicely fused into a nasty little turd clump

  Some random pictures

  Filed under: The Fosters;

  Every day I take pictures of the kittens. I don’t delete many. Only if they’re fuzzy. Withe the low cost of hard drive space it doesn’t make sense to dump them. I know someday I’ll go back through them all. I just checked and I have approximately 1400 cat pics. Roughly 1200 are of the foster kittens and mom.

  One hint, any picture posted on this site is a small version of a big one. Click the picture and it’ll take you to the pic on flickr. Then you can click the button that says ‘all sizes’ at the top of the pic, and you’ll see a big one. there’s even a bigger one if you click the original size. This goes for every picture posted here.

  Aby sitting in my hand. She enjoys sitting there. Strange eh?
