Quiet House

Well, the kittens went to their new homes last weekend. So far so good, they are doing well.The first two photos are of Spirit. Spirit now lives in a house with 3 kids, 2 ferrets, 1 very friendly woofie and an old cat named Moxie. Spirit and the ferrets get along famously. The woofie, Dakota, would love to be friends but every time he approaches Spirit she puffs up, hisses, spits and then whacks him on the nose. I have to give her credit, she is a 2 lb kitten hitting a 50 lb dog and winning. She loves to sit on the computer desk and play with the microphone. No they didn't cook her for dinner she managed to climb up some furniture onto the counter and into the empty cooking pot where she made herself comfortable and went to sleep.

The second two pictures are of Angel (aka Vision) with her new friend Oreo. Apparently Oreo was a little jealous the first day she came to the house but he has since, apparently, gotten over that. They now play chase and pick on each other constantly but when nap time comes they are best of friends.

The other three kittens are doing well as well though I don't have photos to show. The boys, Atlas and Artemis have retained their names and are enjoying the 2 kids and 1 cat at their new home.

Spitfire moved in with 2 cats. Valentine thinks she is the best thing since catnip and Aries is pretty indifferent to her presence.

At home, momma Cali did really well with the parting. I made sure she saw each kitten leave and she only searched the house calling couple times. The kittens older half brother, Curious George, on the other hand has been absolutely pathetic. He mopped for 4 days, not playing, crying, and just laying there. He seems to really miss the little ones, probably because he wasn't the bottom of the Kittie hierarchy for a few weeks. Yesterday and this morning he seemed much better. Charles Baron just seemed flat relieved that the kittens are gone. Charles is now on a kitten food free diet so hopefully he will drop the 3-4 lbs he gained over the past three months from sneak-eating the kitten food. I tried to get Charles to chase the laser pointer and he is so lazy at this point he walked after it instead of running...

For me, I do miss the kittens but, on the flip side the house is quiet and clean for the first time in weeks and I'm actually getting a full night's sleep now because I'm not getting attacked by 5 puffballs at 3am.
