Charlie doesn’t like Trixie?? Wow!! Interesting that he tolerates all the new kittens but not an adult visitor/interloper. But he respects all the other perms.
How is Charlie with Rocco? Similar reaction? Or don’t they interact much?
Oh, Charlie completely hates Rocco. If his dislike for Trixie is a 5 or 6 (on a scale of 1 – 10), his hatred for Rocco is at a 10. I don’t think he’d ever tolerate having Rocco in the house. It probably doesn’t help that Rocco walks around behind the fence in the back yard, locks gazes with Charlie, and sprays the trees back there. Charlie would love to get his teeth in Rocco’s throat.

Lilly was minding her own business and ALONG CAME LINCOLN.
Lilly was incensed. “Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!”
Then she realized he was giving her a bath, and she was all “Hmm. Okay, I can live with this.”
And Lincoln made sure her ears were very, very clean.

There’s my Daisy pie (my favorite!)
She’s all “My eyes are up HERE, lady.”
You know, when I got Daisy I did the math to figure out when the latest she might have her kittens would be, and when I saw that it was March 19th, I was kind of excited. Because first of all, that’s my sister’s birthday. And second of all, Kate had her kittens on March 19, 2013, then five years later Kristi had her kittens on March 19, 2018, and how cool would it be if I had kittens born every five years on my sister’s birthday?
I don’t think Daisy’s got another 10 days in her, though. I seriously think (if she hasn’t had her kittens by the time I get up and check on her this morning)(Edited to add: 7:35 am, no kittens), it’ll be this weekend. Just a feeling!

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
No kitten yet, in case you wondered. Here’s a belly shot from last Wednesday (left) and yesterday. The belly has definitely grown!
She’s spent some time in the crate, snoozing (some pregnant cats nest before they give birth; some don’t. Daisy is still spending most of her time on the cat tree), she’s eating voraciously (some cats don’t eat much in the day or so before they go into labor; some eat right up until the point they start labor. And some pause mid-labor to have a snack.) I still think we’ve got a little more time.
(Fun fact: Daisy is our 16th pregnant cat since 2008.)
Uncle Charlie came a-visitin’ last night, and Lilly donned her floof suit for the occasion. She only stayed floofed for a minute or so, and by the time Charlie decided it was time to leave the room, she was playing near him. Lincoln, on the other hand, jumped up on the cat tree and watched from a safe distance. (Hopefully Charlie will be up for future visits to the foster room.)

Oh dear, oh dear – it looks like Hurricane Lincoln hit the fish taco truck, and the whole underneath got knocked sideways! (Luckily it’s an easy fix.)

Good night innernets. (Lincoln)

Your mama cats notoriously give birth when I am not able to log on right away or follow FB. So it will definitely be this weekend as I have a trip scheduled. I will be in my car most of today, then also Saturday/Sunday a bit. Coming home either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on weather. However, my brother’s bday is the 19th so that would be a great day also!
My brother’s birthday is also the 19th! But, as you say, it seems unlikely….
TO ME, Jake always looks like he could really use a hug and cuddle. He probably would wiggle away though.
So Charlie is the new sheriff in town!! He’s ok with his clowder and foster kittens but NO visitors/interlopers. Makes sense he’s the guard cat now, he is the youngest of the perms and has the bouncer physique. He takes his job seriously.
Loved the video on the Mama Kitties. Of course my all time favorite is Canasta. Love that girl. She was just ” oh, this is nothing, only a bump in the road”. Ha, Ha.
