Jay’s a bird watcher, just like his mama.
Nick’s all “No, I wasn’t bugging my mama. Why you ask?”
Oh, it’s a Myrtle pie! (My favorite!)
Zelda’s got her guilty face on.
Myrtle and the head tilt. That girl is such a character!
Zelda’s trying to figure out why Daisy loves this scratcher bowl so much.
Zelda and Jay are all “What?”
Daisy’s trying to get a moment to herself in the castle and…
Heeere’s Nick!

Rufous gets about 10,000 kisses every day.
Plovetater loves the cubby in the small blue cat tree.
When she’s not trying to figure out how to open that door, that is. (There’s plastic on the windows still – the door’s only been primed, and we decided to leave the plastic ’til we paint the doors. When will we paint the doors, you ask? When there aren’t kittens in that room, I suppose.)
While Plovetater examines the door, Wren and Starling and Rufous have a snuggle.
Starling ADORES her bottle, and never so much as when there’s another kitten nearby who might try to take it away from her.
I was watering plants on the front porch and turned around to see Wren, atop the little blue cat tree, watching me from the dining room.

If you’re wondering “Is that a washable pee pad Newt is sleeping on?” to yourself, let me answer you: it is, indeed. See, when one is an elderly (almost 18 years old!) cat, even if you ARE mostly spry, there are occasionally moments in the litter box when you lose your balance and step in your poop. And then you step outside of the litter box and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE your foot so that any loose poop goes flying and hits all surfaces in the area. AND THEN you like to go to your favorite hanging-out spot (ie, Fred’s bed) and get poop all over the comforter before you say “Ew. This comforter is GROSS.” and go stomping away. Which necessitates the humans WASHING said comforter, the washer does not LIKE the comforter, so it gets off-balance, and let’s just say there’s a lot of swearing.
So even though the above only happens every so often (I would say… twice a month? If that?), putting the pee pad across the bed is a much better solution than having to wash the comforter every time it happens.
Oh, my glamorous life.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
The kittens were spayed/neutered yesterday, and it didn’t impact their appetite at ALL. (From left: Jay, Zelda, Daisy, Nick and Myrtle)
It’s Toesday and as such, get a load of these beans. (Daisy is a polydactyl and has extra toes on all 4 paws. She’s also available for adoption; email Forgotten Felines of Huntsville at info (at) ffhsv.org to inquire.)

Tater was trying to impress everyone with her skitterbug skills, and everyone was… not impressed. At ALL.
Wren is a talker, in case you wondered. ❤️

Myrtle, Zelda, and Nick show off their purr(s). (Jay was elsewhere doing something else. I don’t know where or what, but a good guess would be bugging the heck out of his mama.)
It’s still Toesday, so let’s get a look at one of Daisy’s front paws, shall we? Daisy is a polydactyl with extra toes on all 4 paws. (She’s also available for adoption; email Forgotten Felines of Huntsville at info (at) ffhsv.org to inquire.)
Good night innernets. (Starling & Wren)
