Passionate bright young things


Callette - Day 19 WALKING! The cat sat on the mousemat
OMFGKittens - Day 19 - Callette and Shona Shona - Day 19 - WALKING!



They can walk now instead of floor-swimming, and Callette and Shona have been introduced to Spike. They didn't care - all the kittens have been smelling the dogs on me all their lives so Spike was just part of the furniture, but he nearly burst!

I didn't take pictures of the introduction, but I will when it's all a bit less new and scary for me. Spike was on his best behaviour, holding his breath, not moving a muscle though his whiskers and the tips of his ears were vibrating with pent-up excitement - but when I took them for a walk right afterwards he gave me the very best full-on rollercoaster shark-fishing barking steer-roping alligator-wrestling Spike experience in his power. Aww!

You've got to stop posting pics of kittens getting cuter and cuter or I'll block you! They're just adorable!!!

maggie came this |-| close to catching a chipmunk the other day. she was incorrigible for the rest of the walk - kept seeing chipmunks out of the corner of her eye, i think.

Real walking! Hurray! How was Cassie during the meeting?
They all look so big and healthy. I hope my littlies get there soon.
I read a vet interview online and she said that 10 weeks was good, but 12 was ideal in terms of social development and health. I am going to try for at least 10, it is hard to make people wait longer than that huh.
Congrats!

Oh! I love that last one...is that Callette standing up on all 4 legs?

By now, Cassie must know Spike won't hurt her babies, she probrably trusts that they're big enough that he won't even accidentally step on them...perish the thought! I have this picture in my mind of Spike suddenly staring at me and saying that...lol

Awwww! It's such a perfect time (of course, aren't they all? :^)), when they're just learning to get up and go. They're going to be some nosy bodies! LOL!

:O
That's about how big Penny was when I got her. She hated me back then, but she was really cute.
I think this age is way cuter then newborn baby kittens :)

Yayyy!

I just learned from my sisters that the people across the street that our street branches off of have just had kittens too. We went over there and met five little sweet black kittens about seven days old. So I'll stop begging you to send me one through the computer screen.

Piper got out and shed her collar in this small jungle of grapevines and a mullberry bush that the neighbors have. I lured her back in with food but the collar is a total write-off until the neighbors attack the area in question with a small thermonuclear device. (And here I thought my biggest project of the day would be taking inventory of the booze my various one-generation-up relatives (excluding my mother, who won't be seen parking in front of a bar or liquor store and was embarrassed that the bottles were in plain sight) have purchased over the past quarter century. Nope. Cat has to get out.)

Soon there will be kittens everywhere - they look very determined about going to explore! :o)

Omg! They look so much bigger already! Now they look like little kitties rather than cute bundles of fur!
