Cat Friendly

One lovely thing about fostering kittens is that they are exposed to many household experiences.

Dobby is a sweet, gentle dog and all of the foster kittens leave my house feeling good about dogs.

Since many adoptive families include dogs this is a very good attitude.

Thank you Dobby for doing your part in kitten training!

Sweetness and Light at Wonderlab

Ginny invited me to bring a cat to Wonderlab to meet the preschoolers. Peru and Chester went with me and had a great time! They were briefly concerned about being surrounded by tiny tots but then discovered that every one of them had a toy and the game was on! They were filmed by a crew from WFYI. I hope they got some good film, it was a lovely time for all.

The Latest Cat Toy

Years ago our cats had a toy called a Newt Hoot. It did my heart good to see the cats fling Mr Gingrich around the living room. I predict this toy will also gladden some hearts.

The little "i"s

This is a group photo taken while they were at SPOT

Irvin is the shadow between the two tabbies.

From back to front it's Innis, Irvin and pretty Iris.

Indigo

Sweet cuddly mama Indigo. She loves to rub noses. She doesn't see why I bother with the kittens when she wants to be on my lap every minute. She's calm and unflappable. Indigo will make someone an wonderful companion.

Innis

He looks a lot like his sister but he's bolder and busier. He loves to wrestle with Irvin. Both boys actively seek out my attention. Innis loves to pounce on Indigo's twitching tail. She always seems surprised by the attack but by now you'd think she'd realize it happens every time!

I,I,I, I

Here's Iris. She does cat yoga. She's scratching the top of her head with her back paw. After that she's happy to settle in for some meditation. Then she'll chase her brothers and wrestle them into submission. She is a little shy but once I sit down and sit still she likes to come and hang out with me.

New Faces

Irvin

The Pirate Maxes have gone off to seek their fortunes. I know Rupert was adopted but I don't know about the other boys or their adorable moms.

At the same time I picked up a mama with 3 kittens and an orphan. Sadly the orphan kitten, an adorable black and white kitty names Skittles didn't survive. Indigo the mama and her two sons, Innis and Irvin and sweet little Iris are all doing well. They made the trip to SPOT on Monday and are doing well.
