In case you missed it on Facebook last night…
I have to admit, I DID have inside information on this adoption. The young man who adopted Pattypan is actually the same one who bottle fed her (and the rest of the Squash Bugs) for two days before turning them over to Challenger’s House. School was about to start up, and his mom knew he wouldn’t have time to keep bottle feeding them, so they came to Challenger’s House. The adoption was pre-approved, but of course I never announce adoptions until the paperwork is done. Pattypan (I think she’s been renamed Peanut) had to spend about 20 minutes in the cage with her siblings, but that was only so her new family could stock up on supplies and finish the paperwork.
Hopefully we’ll get updates (we love updates!), and I suspect PattyPeanut will be one happy, spoiled girl.

Today’s post has the last of the pictures of the Squash Bugs. I’m planning to put together collages of each of the kittens so we can look back at how they grew; I’ll likely schedule those posts for next week.
Ambercup likes the smell of clean laundry. Who can blame her?
Pattypan and the Squeezy Eyes o’ Love.
Calabash in the sun. If you click on that picture to see the larger version over at Flickr, you can see that she still has a ring of blue around the outside of her eyes. SO pretty!
Sweet Ambercup, posing for me.
Zuke keeps an eye on me. Those ears don’t seem to be getting any smaller, do they?
Ambercup wonders if I’m going to grab her up for a kiss. Of course I did!
Pattypan was too busy bunny-kicking Louganis’s head to pose for me.
Pattypan, kicking Ambercup’s butt. Pattypan’s a feisty one, have you noticed?
Pattypan says to Zuke “Oh, were you drinking water? Let me get in your way!”

Newt’s all “FEWER kittens in the house? Well, you’re headed in the right direction, lady.”
