 Aug 13 - Max was supposed to be modeling with my pile of trick-r-treat bags and Halloween envelopes I'm preparing for the Halloween Swap I'm hosting. But it was late and she wanted to just close her eyes for a moment. Photo below taken Aug. 12th.
 Look how big they are getting!
July 29 - It's so fun scrolling down to see these photos and seeing the kittehs get younger and younger. Originally when I stole these 2 early from the feral cat that had kittens under my dads house in the country, my intent was to find a home for one and I keep the other. My nephews school teacher decided to take one after they were finished bottle feeding and were on solid food (the cats, not the school teacher). Well, I started becoming attached to both. One day after they had fought hard and played hard they fell asleep in each other arms. I saw this and realized there was no way I could separate these two! I gave my sister in law the hard job of telling my nephews teacher he would have to visit the SPCA instead. By the way, I didn't just "steal" them. After bringing food to the momma for a few days, she allowed me to sit close to her while she ate (canned mackeral bribe). I would pick up a kitten and keep it near her, then pick up another. At one point she put her mouth on my hand but didn't bite down. The day I took the 2 kittens, I bribed her with more fish and talked and talked to her while holding a kitten by her. I told her what I was doing and how happy and well fed they would be. I asked if she wanted to go too but she just wasn't ready. She finally let me pet her head but that was it, couldn't make a move to pick her up or she'd take off. She was a beautiful total gray cat with yellow eyes. My 2 kittys are having a happy, lucky life. They are raw food kittys and I feel sad I couldn't take their litter mates too. But a couple weeks after I brought these home and the other babies were up and around - they were as wild as the mom and I couldn't get near them. I can't save all the kittehs of the world, but I can save two! |
 July 13 - Kittys like to be on top of things in the art field... Well, their new names just haven't stuck yet. I still refer to them as "the brown one" and "the light one." Guess it just hasn't been long enough, they still feel new to me.
June 21 - The kittys finally have new names...Meet Alex and Sally
The above photos show how their brilliant blue kitten eye color is now changing.
