Thank you all so much for your kind words about Tommy. You’re always so wonderful to us, and I can’t begin to tell you how much we both appreciate it.
We’ve been spending a lot of time with the kittens, both litters, which is the best kind of therapy. Later this morning I’ll be taking ALL of them to the vet for their combo tests to be sure they’re negative. Then we’ll give it another day or so, and then slowly begin introducing the two litters.
You know there will be many, many pictures and videos taken of the event!

“Who me, pee on the Ham-mick? I’d never!” (Yes, someone did get up in the Ham-Mick and peed, and it went all over the floor underneath. It’s happened before – multiple times – with little ones, so you’d think I’d remember to wait ’til they’re older to introduce them to it. Anything remotely bed-like, except for their bed in the cage, is likely to get peed in at this age.)
Well, THAT looks comfy. Calabash and Pattypan, with full bellies.
“Seriously, lady. SNUGGLE ME.”
“::thlurrrp:: Or rub my ears. That works, too!”
Look who else wants a snuggle.

When I go into the bathroom to feed the Swimmers, the other kittens sit and howl up at me, but Spitz just lays and rolls around and patiently waits for his turn.
Phelps tries to mind-meld with Torres.
Louganis would like Torres to get her butt off his head, please.
Phelps has had his bottle, obviously.

Videos! In the first, Pattypan gets BOOP’d and isn’t sure what to think about it. (Note: the only reason she wasn’t waving her bandaged leg around is because one of her claws was stuck in my shirt. I had to detach her after I turned off the camera.)
In the second video, come close, crank up your sound, and listen to that sweet purr.
And in the last video, Phelps has the zoomies – and he and Spitz get a little skittery at each other.

Stefan is SUPER pleased with himself.
