In case you missed it…
Posty and Paper Clip were adopted yesterday, together! They went locally here in the Huntsville area, and I delivered them myself. Posty’s new name is Rhya, and Paper Clip is Calypso, and I think those names fit them beautifully.
Stapler is still here with us – she’s adoption pending, if you’d forgotten, and will go home in April. According to Fred, she meowed for a little while after I left with her sisters, and by the time I got home she was pretty chill. I started tearing the foster room apart in preparation for cleaning and disinfecting, and she kept me company. I had a huge armload of laundry to carry downstairs, and when I opened the door at the top of the stairs, Stapler flew through the door and I just let her explore. She spent the rest of the day making brief trips downstairs to explore, always returning upstairs to my bedroom. It would be LOVELY if I could just let her run around the house all the time, but I don’t quite trust Charlie to behave himself, so we’ll see.
Here are the rest of the pictures I took of Posty and Paper Clip while they were here with us.
Paper Clip always seemed like she was on the verge of trying to take over that top level, but never actually tried it.
Posty has a chill.
And Paper Clip has a chill.
Feather teaser up there, do you think?
Nap time with Paper Clip and Stapler.

Yes, the girls did get to take a loaf pan AND a pie plate with them.
When I left the girls, they were running around, tails held high, exploring every nook and cranny of their new home. I think they are going to have a VERY happy and spoiled life!

Just a little bit of attitude from Moxie.

Poppi poses prettily.
Hopefully today’s the day I get the Pops moved into the foster room! Depending on how things go, they may have to wait until tomorrow, but either way – it’s almost time to move and I can’t wait ’til they have more room to run. It’s gonna blow their little minds!

In lieu of a permanent resident picture, please admire a few garden-type pictures from last summer.
One of the first things Fred did the first spring after we moved in here was to plant Muscadine vines. (Muscadines are native grapes that grow well around here.) Late last summer, we got our first batch!
I made a very small batch of Muscadine jelly. (It yielded two jars.)
And the catnip plant in the back flower bed did not attract cats, but it certainly attracted a ton of bees!

Happy Thlurrrpsday from this ridiculous little floofball. (Poppi)
Hooray, hooray, Posty and Paper Clip were adopted (together) today! Posty is now Rhya and Paper Clip’s Calypso, and they are going to be so loved and spoiled! Happy life, sweet girls! ❤️

Sundrop has the zoomies and Poppi’s using the litter box and making sure EVERYONE knows about it.
Poppi’s a little bit hidden there on the far right, but all four kittens crammed themselves into the top of the little cat tree and took a nap together.

Keeping it clean: mama Sodapop leads by example.
Bath time for Stapler. (Stapler knows that her sisters are gone – they were adopted this morning – but she doesn’t appear to be missing them.) (Stapler is adoption pending and will go home in April.)
Good night innernets. (Moxie)

It sure is!
Awesome!! 🙂
Hip hip hooray for Posty/Rhya and Paper Clip/Calypso!!! So glad to hear that they got right down to the business of exploring (with high tails) their new home.
As for that “Good night innernets” picture of Moxie — well that is just the absolute sweetest thing I have ever seen. Fuzzy little bit of sweetness with eyes buttoned up tight. And that wee paw. Not to mention the nose splotch. That is some powerful cuteness.
