In case you missed it on social media Saturday…
Josephine and Gabrielle went home! They are now residents of Birmingham, Alabama, which is about 2 hours south of us.
I worried that they would be really freaked out and hide for several days, but by bed time Saturday, they were out and exploring the guest bedroom they’ll be occupying while they acclimate to their new home. This picture is from yesterday morning:
Look how relaxed! (Thanks, Celeste!)
So they’re settling in nicely, and they’re going to be spoiled rotten. (And they’re remaining Josephine and Gabrielle.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are the rest of the pictures I took of the girls before they left us.
Sleepy Gabrielle.
Snuggly girls.
Gabrielle, having stolen Alice’s favorite bed, stretches smugly.
Watching Earl the sunflower-seed-stealin’-skwerl.
Sleepy Gabrielle.
Havin’ a think.
Josephine, checking out the view.
We’ve loved having those girls here with us, and also love seeing them go to a great home. (The permanent residents, especially Alice, do not miss them one tiny bit.)

“Why you all the way over there, lady? Why you stop pettin’ me?”
“This is more like it!”
Fred says Natalia is like the perfect mix of Miz Poo (the coloring and sweetness), Mister Boogers (the half tail and the faces she makes) and Tom Cullen (the air kneading.) She’s a charmer, for sure.

Oh, that’s such great news about Gabrielle and Josephine! They look pretty comfortable, so I’d say they’re off to a good start…
Natalia does remind me a bit of Miz Poo. She looks so soft and huggable.
“Resting Frankie Face”, lol.
The male to female ratio among your permie’s is s little lopsided. Have you considered making Natalia a permie on a trial basis?
Nope.
A Miz Poo – Mr. Boogers – Tom Cullen combination: be still my heart. SWOON.
That one white whisker at the corner of Natalia’s mouth is cracking me up! She looks like Bucky from Get Fuzzy! She’s very pretty otherwise! 😀
Hee hee! I love Get Fuzzy!
I used to have a mostly black tortie named Gypsy. She would sometimes sport a single white whisker, and I’d call her a catfish.
I love Get Fuzzy too! (And LOL – I see the catfish resemblance!)
Yay for the girls!!! Happy life Gabrielle and Josephine!!
Hahaha, I’m trying to combine Poo, Boogers and Tommy into one word to figure out what Fred is calling Natalia! 😀
how about PooBoot?
Hahaha! Though that also sounds like a kitty that never steps out of the litter box cleanly! 😉
Poogy! 🙂
Poogy for the win!
Ha – Poogy would be an excellent kitten name.
I love that final (lowest) picture of Josephine. It showcases those huge beautiful round eyes of hers. Good luck, girls! So glad you’re staying together!
