cat INVASION

Adoption is the right thing to do

2010-08-02T10:30:00.000-07:00

After 5 months of love and attention, the kittens got adopted. Polly and Koda went to live with Mike on the other side of the lake. It's nice they are not too far away, but it's taking a while to adjust to all the quiet and calm in the house. the big boys don't mind one bit, so I'm sure they'll be extra affectionate! ;) ha!
We'll miss you sweet little girls!

12 weeks already?

6wks - angels

2010-04-05T08:46:00.000-07:00

We slept in the kitten room for the weekend and woke up every couple of hours to little kitten angels snuggling into our cheeks and ears. They are so freakin' adorable i didn't even notice i didn't get any sleep. Of course we'd love to see them get adopted, but i don't know if i can part with these little guys... they are so sweet and hilarious!

5 weeks old and getting ready to go!

Heleana is doing so well! She's up and about to eat and wonder and then it's back to the pack of little faces and paws! They should open their eyes this week! stay tuned!

SURPRISE!

2010-02-26T10:33:00.000-08:00

I honestly tried to ignore the chirping i thought was early spring birds at 4:30AM sunday morning... at one point i even got our of bed to see if i could see anything out the window... sure enough, as soon as i wondered outside, there they were - hours old!

We didn't know that Helena was pregnant... just thought (hoped) she was fat like the big boys who we feed too much! But she's a good momma and we'll get her and the kittens fixed as soon as we can! East bay Fix our Ferals is a super program! www.fixourferals.org/home

great spirit spoke to them...

2009-12-30T14:27:00.000-08:00

we just hope they listen!! and that they are sweet boys in 2010!

too cold for kitties

2009-12-14T15:16:00.001-08:00

All the kitties now have special nooks to sleep in cause it is too cold outside! We bought a bunch of flannel and fleece and decked out their little houses! Unfortuantely we lost Olivier last week. He was defiantely a lot older than all the little ones - he's been here much longer than we have... and he might have been sick too, as his behavior had recently changed as he was hanging around and sleeping a lot more... but either way - we were sorry to see him go. stray or not - you're welcome in our yard, kitties!

Elling the yard guard - garden guardian

(Garden after planting!)
Elling can always be foudn just a whistle away! he's such a good yard guard! Fiest tried to help mom in the garden, but Elling is truly the Garden Guardian!

With Summer, comes new cats!! our yard is full of them! at least three new ones - two little sptripped grey kitties and a black one who looks like a cigar went off in her face - we call her Kaboom or lil kittie 'boom-boom'. Though Tilden got into something yucky and died a couple of weeks ago, Merry was spotted in the yard yesterday. Eling (the little orange one) is super happy to be the yard guardian and sleeps in the kittie tower outside the back door every night (at least whenever Boom Boom isn't in it! He and Lexi are getting along quite well.

Epsecially now that Lexi is getting a little more adventurous.

Ironically, Feist doesn't want anything to do with all the kitties and runs back inside whenever they're around! what a weirdo!

Happy SPRING!

Happy Feist!

the kitties went off to college

2009-04-10T13:08:00.000-07:00

okay - they went outside and now they're living in the basement... but if I think of it like they went of to college then it makes it a little easier. They're so much ahppier out there cause they didn't like us much anyway. They're getting a little taste of freedom and SPACE! yahoo!

and the big boys couldn't be happier!! they get all their favorite places back all to themselves!

... like the bed...

like mama's lap...

like the couch...

oh did i mention the bed...

Massive Fluff / Disgusting Creatures

2009-01-30T09:59:00.000-08:00

There's no doubt about it - as much as i love these cats - they are disgusting animals! Carol's facebook almun says it all: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?page=2&aid=2011694&op=6&id=1066631567#/album.php?page=1&aid=2011694&op=6&id=1066631567

here are a couple of highlights!

Somehow, Feist is just so much less offensive!!

little grey

2008-12-10T15:31:00.001-08:00

This is little grey! he's a sick kitty that showed up on our doorstep and he's the loviest little guy!

He was really sick when he first came over, even through he would continue to purrrrr and cuddle with Carol. He would cough and sneeze - and just sounded and smelled bad! Our great friend at ICRA Cat rescue brought over some anitbiotics and he was feeling much better in just two days. Now its time to find him home!

seriously cute!!

the tumble tons

2008-11-03T15:02:00.000-08:00

one beauitful saturday morning in June 2008, I pulled back the bedroom curtain and Lexus and Feist and Carol and i couldn't believe our eyes! There were kittens playing in the back yard!

Three fumbling, tumbling, kittens jumping on each other and all the jade plants that surround our fence line. Mama Kittie (we call her Luli) was near by and we think their papa cat is a big 'ol tom we call Oliver. he walks bow-legged and makes all the other cats let him eat first!

Anyway - so began the adventures of the tumble-tons!

FEIST

2008-11-03T14:55:00.001-08:00

This is Feist! he's the sweetest cat I have ever known! every morning he meows until i pick him up and i have to pack him around on my hip while i get dressed for work while he purrrs and snuggles in my ear! it's ridiculous! that's his buddy 'Octi' - it's a plush toy octopus... Feist loves Octi! Feist and lex are brothers, but they couldn't be more different. Feist is real easy going. He is literally asleep on the edge of the trunk - he didn't fall off, just stretched out! HA!

LEXUS

2008-11-03T14:49:00.000-08:00

This is Lexus! He's named after Lexus of Marin, the dealership on hwy 101 in San Rafael. Carol thought that would make a great band name... and though we don't have a band - we do have a very fancy cat worthy of the expensive-sounding name. he is super high-stung and when scared crawls around like he's sneaking through a trench during a war... it's pretty hilarious! Carol has also deemed him the 'Urine Barron' - it helps ligthen the mood when gets territorial!
