WOW, that is great Saxy! Could we see some new pics, ya think? She is growing really fast. How is her coloring doing? Is it still changing? How much does she eat a day?

My new little guy has truly been eating like a little piggy the past couple of days. I know he has gained weight. You can see it especially in his tummy. It's so cute!

And even though he is black and white, if you look at his fur under certain lights, the black looks like a very dark grey. So, I am wondering if he will continue to get a bit lighter still?

Okay, Baby, you asked for it!

This one, DH took tonight.



This second one was taken a couple weeks ago. I just thought she was so cute sitting there with her paws crossed.

Thanks Saxy!

I love it when they cross their paws, too. Baby never did that but Sweetie Pie does it all of the time. It's so cute!

How is Ms. Leia's coloring doing? Is it still changing? How old is she now, Saxy?

I am wondering how many times it's possible for a person to say the word "no" in a day??? It's seems to be our favorite one these days! How about you, is Ms. Leia hearing "no" a lot, too?

Thanks for the pic! It's a keeper! Love it!!

Baby, The thing about kittens is you can keep saying "no" but ultimately what happens is they just grow out of it and calm down after awhile. I know I keep saying it but they are just crazy little guys!

Our guy is still a kitten except he is big. He has no concept of how big he is and what will hold his weight and where he can sit without knocking things down or over. He is an eternal optimist (ouch!).

Leia and Sweetie Pie sure are cute kitties!!!

Leia's coloring is changing. The cream color keeps coming through the grey. I have no idea how old she'll be when she's finally at that state where she'll stay the same.

We got to see the funniest thing this morning. A young raccoon has moved in our area. Our dogs go bananas when he comes in our yard but this morning he tried to help himself to the neighbors cat food. Her 10 year old spay cat came tearing out of the car port and ran him up a tree. We were laughing so hard and felt so fortunate to have gotten to see the whole thing. That raccoon sat up in that tree for quite a while too.

This cat is a feisty thing. We have seen her even challenge the deer when they come in the yard. Usually the deer just ignore her...but it is fun to see.

I just got home from the Farmer's Market and DH was just leaving for work. I came in,t he dogs were still out back. I was walking from the kitchen to into the living room and there's leia, hiding around the corner, ready to pounce on my feet. It was too cute!!

Yeah, raccoons are a riot. Mama keeps tearing holes in my screen door. I mended it with gray tape and put cayenne pepper all over it. She hasn't touched it now for the past couple of nights. But I do feed her since I've got her depending on me. When the babies are of a size, I will slowly cut them off and she will teach them what they need to know to survive without my help. I love to watch her eat, I am so entertained by her. When she finally brings the babies out of hiding, my joy will know no bounds. Is there anything cuter than a baby raccoon!

ROFL SG. I wish I had seen that. Reminds of the kitty that chased the bear up a tree. Saxy, your kitten is just adorable.

Well, in honor of Independence Weekend, the Boys just did a feline interpretive reenactment of the Battle of Mackinac for me, the opening salvo of the War of 1812. Max represented the Americans, Puss appropriately represented the Redcoats. Essentially what happened was: Max was relaxing in his fort/cardboard box and feeling mighty pleased with himself, all washing his face and whatnot. Puss jumped up on the console over his head and adopted the "pounce" position. Then Max, seeing that he'd lost the high ground, immediately rolled over, waved the white flag and gave up the fort. Pretty much sums up what happened in 1812, where the British just pulled their cannons to a bluff overlooking Fort Michilimackinac, pointed them down and the Americans said "otay you can have it." My kitties are just so damned patriotic. I can't wait to see what they do with Valley Forge.

Yes, raccoons are entertaining unless they are in one's garage eating and washing the dog and cat food and startling everyone!

(((Alwayz))) so sorry to hear about Angus. I never knew ringworm could be so bad. I had it as a kid. I hope you and Spanky are doing ok.

Baby, Sweetie Pie is a great name! I am happy to hear that he is eating and gaining!

Saxy, I hope Leia continues to be on the mend. I love the pics you posted in Baby's folder. Leia looks so inquisitive! I can't remember who was in the back, but what a big happy grin!

Great re-enactment Goddess! I love the animal stories...they are so funny. I think Saxy has really been ensnared by Leia...she has Saxy wrapped around her paw. Kittens are enchanting and full of magic.

I am wondering what type of kitty my little Sweetie Pie is? His papers say his breed is unknown. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can figure out what breed or combination of breeds this little guy may be?

I'd guess SP is a good old All American breed. I can't think of a better one than that. And because of it, you probably won't have any genetic problems with him like I do with Ophie and her lousy Siamese teeth.

Mama raccoon brought the kids by last night, but I was already in bed, so I had to listen to dh and dd go on and on about how cute they were. They were very tiny yet as this was their first excursion out of the nest. Mama is here right now for her afternoon break from them. She eats and then climbs our pine tree for about an hour vacation.

I miss seeing the racoons, but I don't miss them getting into my garbage and tearing open the bags and leaving a huge mess! Bungie cords were nothing. Finally our garbage service offered those huge totes and it stopped the problem. One night I heard all this noise up in a tree and when I got a flashlight, I saw all these EYES looking at me!! LOL The last I remember actually seeing one was a few years ago and it was kind of upsetting since a youngin was scooting across our backyard and our dog shot off after it. She only got her mouth on her fur and since the racoon didn't bite her, she was probably OK but the vet gave her a booster rabies just in case. Now skunks, opussums, woodchucks and other assorted critters I see all the time, esp. the skunks and opussums. The skunks are particularly stinky this year at all hours of the day and an opussum just about ran over my foot last night! Acck....better than when the skunk ran over my foot. I hate letting my dog out at night because it's simply awful if she gets "skunked!" Thank goodness for in-door kitties! LOL

Saxy.. I absolutely LOVE the coloring on Leia and how it's changing. She's gorgeous!!

DD had a big ruckus outside one nite. She went out to see her dog had a racoon trapped under her car. While she was trying to coax her dog away, her boy friend walked out to see what was going on and the racoon in the bushes attacked him. He screamed and ran back in the house. He said DD had entirely too much drama in her life.

I was a day late and a dollar short. We missed seeing Larry by 1 day. We went up to Iowa last week and visited my dad and brother before picking up my step-kids. Larry was adopted the day before we got there. I'm so happy he has a home but sad we didn't get to see him. A friend of our cousin wanted a kitten for his little girls, 5 & 7. Dad wanted one for each girl, Mom said no. The girls almost had Dad talked into 2 as Mom wasn't there and they couldn't make up their mind which kitty to take and the youngest one, maybe 5, said how about one of each color? Dad was getting ready to say yes and his cell rang and it was Mom reminding him that only 1 kitten could come home. The oldest girl, maybe 7, started to cry.

I have this sneaking suspicion that unless both of the remaining kittens are adopted close to the same time as each other my dad and brother will be adding cat # 6 to their household along with the 2 1/2 inside dogs and 2 1/2 outside dogs. I did get to play with both of the Darryls, and they were dolls! So people friendly, but then Fuzzy [momma kitty] brought the first kitten to my brother right after it was born and put it on his lap, so the kittens have been held by people since the day they were born. The Darryls don't seem to miss Larry but Fuzzy sure does, and continues to glare at my brother unless she wants fed. Darryl Light used to be the one that got left out because Darryl Dark and Larry would ignore him while they were rough housing. Now Darryl Light has become quite the rough houser.

Poor Target, the outside stray, is soooooooooooo fat. She looks like she could pop anyday. Her belly is dragging the ground and she can only take a step or two before she has to rest. My brother told me last night she was trying to get into the house so he thinks it's about time for delivery. He also said he thinks he's found a home for Target and her babies. A friend wants a barn cat so they might be taking Target out there today and locking her in part of the barn so she will have the kitties out there. Hopefully they will have a better chance than at my dad and brother's place. Target has this thing with sleeping in the middle of the street because she likes the concrete.





Goodbye Larry, we'll miss you!

Serate, wonderful pics! I hope Target gets to go to the farm before she pops.

SG, I don't know if I should laugh about your DD's boyfriend or be worried about him...the remark about the drama was funny! I hope he was ok.

Too late on Target - she's giving birth as I type. She's had two boom, boom, and working on the third. Nothing like Fuzzy who had 3 - 2nd one 5 hours after the first, and the third one 18 hours after the 2nd. Poor baby [Target] it's 98^ with a heat index of 110^ and my brother says the humidity is way up today.

Larry is going to get one of her sisters to live with her! My cousin and his friend stopped by to see my brother today. When the girls and Dad got home with Larry Mom just fell in love! It's been almost a week but she's decided she doesn't care if the girls take care of the kitties she wants another one to go with the first! Hip Hip Hooray! Now all my brother has to do is decide between Darryl Dark and Darryl Light. Methinks that the Darryl that doesn't go will find a permanent home with my dad and brother unless somebody specifically comes up and asks my brother for it.

I'm sooooooooo glad that I talked them out of giving up one of the kittens at 5 or 6 weeks old. They guy they were going to give it to burnt down his home because he was more interested in his playstation than the food on the stove! There is nothing left of the house he had just moved into. This is very callous of me but while I'm glad he didn't get hurt, I'm even more glad he didn't get the kitten as it probably would have burned to death.
