We have a Khaleesi update to start off your week right!
Alton says: I promised you Khaleesi pictures and it only took a week to get around to sending them to you. She and the Daughter came for a week and have already headed home. It didn’t take her long to claim the top of the cat tree.
She and Lily found each other on the cat tree. What you’re missing in this picture is that Khaleesi was hissing and Lily was growling.
A couple of days later they were more comfortable with each other and settled in for chipmunk patrol.
Sometimes Bubba needed a little quiet time by his favorite chair.
We’ll see her again in a few months!
Thank you so much for the update and pictures, Alton. We sure do love seeing those sweet faces!

On Saturday, someone who was interested in adopting Susie came to visit. She stayed for a while, got some kitten love, and…
She decided she wanted two of them! I was sitting there talking to her, trying to figure out how to casually float the idea of adopting two of them, and she brought it up! After some deliberation, she decided that Susie and Chanandler were the ones.
Edited to add: After thinking about it over the weekend, she decided (with some input from me) that Princess Consuela would be a better choice. Oddly, I had just noticed yesterday that Princess Consuela and Susie seem to be a little more bonded to each other, so it works out well.
The timeline is thus: the kittens are scheduled for their surgeries next Tuesday, May 24th. They’ll get their rabies shots and microchips at the same time. Then, on Saturday (the 28th), Bert and Art will go home with their new family, and Susie and Princess Consuela will go home with theirs.
This leaves Chanandler Bong and Ken “Moe” Adams available for adoption (as well as mama Regina Phalange, who was not adopted over the weekend). If anyone’s interested, let me know and I’ll send you an application!

Regina Phalange, before she went off to Petsmart, obviously. Isn’t she just the prettiest girl?
“No, Mama, no!” says Princess Consuela.
“No, Mama, no! I am CLEAN!”
“Mama, don’t look! It’s that weird lady with the camera again!”
“Mama, stahhhhhhhhp. I’m cleeeeeeean!”
“That right there is a particularly tasty kitten. ::thlurrrp::!”
I call these next few pictures…

Susie and Princess Consuela weren’t in the mood to sit in the sun for me, I guess!
On Saturday, because he couldn’t wait one minute longer, Fred opened the screen door at the bottom of the stairs and let the kittens free. Those kittens ran and played and ran and played for about two hours. We shut them back upstairs with me at nap time, and they slept like the dead. They came out again in the evening and watched TV with us, then spent most of yesterday downstairs with us. Stefan was DYING to play with them, got all flirty and batted his eyes at them and sat and watched them play. They wanted nothing to do with him, especially after he lost his cool and jumped at them (I swear he’s a puppy in cat’s clothing). By yesterday afternoon they were less apt to floof and hiss at the permanent residents, and I imagine that in a few more days there’ll actually be some playing.

A while back, awesome reader Fluppette sent us a Feather Frenzy teaser. Yesterday, with the kittens racing around the house, Fred decided it was time to get ’em hoppin’. I took a short video. About 7 seconds in, Princess Consuela hopped up on the chair where Archie was sitting, and got to meet him. There was a little hissing, but Archie wasn’t too concerned with the likes o’ her.

It’s a Newt in a box. He is clearly SO pleased to see me!
