In the view from the kitchen window, is there a big fenced/caged thing in the yard on the left? It looks like a mini-sized catio. And what a beautiful patio the guys have!
Yep, that’s a box that Fred was in the process of making. It now sits against the side of the house, next to the screened porch. At the last house we had that bay window so that the cats could go out either side. In this house, they’ve only had the one way onto the screened porch (there’s a cat door in the storm door to the screened porch), so this provides a second way out. (Sometimes the boys like to sit in front of the cat door and Alice doesn’t like to go out past them, so this gives her another option.)

When did Molly start letting Hannah nurse? I noticed a picture a few days ago and also today but there seems to have been a pretty rapid progression from Molly being not at all fond of Hannah to actually letting her nurse? Of course, I may have missed your explanation so forgive me if I have.

I was just wondering the same thing, though I’m a few days behind and figured I simply missed something earlier. I know Hannah was fine before, but this still makes me happy.
Molly starting letting Hannah nurse about a week ago and I caught it on video! (It’s entirely possible this isn’t the first time it happened, but it’s the first time I saw it happen, so we’ll just say it IS the first time!)

I was wondering, does beauty Molly Marina play like Canasta? She seems a bit more on the loving but stern side of Mother Hubbard. Especially taking in two extras. Such a special lady!
She has just, in the last few days, started to play – and it turns out that she’s a bit of a goofball! (She really really likes ping pong balls.)

“I guess you could say Theo Pesto was a little overexcited about that feather teaser”… My first thought was that he looked like Hermione Granger in any Hogwarts class!
I can totally see that!

That pic of Sophia Soy Sauce and her stripes has her ears in almost perfect alignment with the scratcher behind her. You’re a photo-genius and don’t even know it!
Isn’t that awesome? I didn’t notice it when I took it, but I noticed it when I was looking through my pictures later!

Franco Fondue gives me the Ears of Annoyance.
Molly Marinara’s all “Are you behaving yourself over here, kid?” and Franco Fondue’s saying “Yes, Mama.”
Pretty, pretty Hannah Hollandaise.
Looks like somebody’s trying to start something!
Sofia Soy Sauce with the Precious Moments eyes.
I don’t know what I did, but it certainly got their attention.
Molly Marinara in the sun, giving me the “Treats, now” eyes.
Molly Marinara and the Milk Bar patrons (Tia Teriyaki and Theo Pesto).
That’s quite the look I’m getting from Christopher Chutney.

Alice Mo’s favorite, favorite, favorite spot. That tree in the corner of the screened porch is the best location for snoozing, keeping an eye on her brothers, and watching the hummingbirds flit by.

Oh Tia Teriyaki, you silly girl. It’s Thlurrrpsday, not Wahhhdnesday! Check your calendar!
All kittens are present and accounted for, if not exactly all looking at the camera. Ah well, you win some, you lose some.

Tia Teriyaki and her (current) favorite toy. And mama Molly Marinara is pretty sure that if she gives me the Eyes of Lurve I’ll give her treats (she is 100% correct.)
Please admire Theo Pesto’s thlurrrrping form as we celebrate Thlurrrrpsday.

The kittens LOVE those long spring toys. And Mama Molly Marinara uses the mirrors to keep an eye on me. That girl cracks me UP. (Side note: those springs are actually binding spines/spirals/coils. The ones I have are 16mm, 125 Sheet Capacity, 4:1 Pitch but they come in different sizes and lengths. I got mine at Amazon, but you can find them on eBay and other assorted places.)
Christopher Chutney keeps an eye on me… and Franco Fondue keeps an eye on me too. But Molly Marinara keeps her eye on her food bowl because she’s got priorities.
Good night innernets. (Theo Pesto)

Thanks for the info about the cage and the second way out for Alice Mo. 🙂
In the photo you captioned “I don’t know what I did…”, would you look at that rude little monkey standing on the hammock like he owns the place?!! Obviously not caring that he/she is probably standing on and squishing the kitten below!
