His Name is Uno

We have a new baby!

He was the only kitten born to Moses in her last litter. We've decided to call him Uno. He's growing so big so fast, I am tempted to start calling him BrUno! His eyes just opened today.

Crazy Cats

Sure! They look cute in pictures! But these little furballs are the epitome of hellion. They've broken favorite teacups, they've torn apart closets, they've knocked plants over, they've spilled beverages all over the floor, they run from one end of the house to the other bouncing off walls and jumping off furniture.....

BUT!!!

When they snuggle up to me and pur their little hearts out, I melt.

Smile!

I think he looks as though he is laughing.

They are now ten weeks old and have been a lot of fun to have around. One kitten has already found a new home. It was sad to see her go. She went to someone we know so we can still keep tabs on how she's growing.

We plan to keep one of the kittens. Wanna help pick out a name?

A Dose of CUTE-ness

Moses has been a really good Mama to her three kittens. She is very attentive and the kittens are now two weeks and one day old. Their little blue eyes are visible now and they are starting to walk...or should I say wobble. They purr and even nibble on each other's ears. We try to snuggle these little fuzzballs, but they don't like to be too far from their little nest. As soon as they get about 3 inches away from it, they start to cry....loudly...which naturally alerts their very protective mama and she returns dutifully to settle her children. Once all three babies are settled and napping, Moses hops out to live her life for a little bit...and take a little breather.

I was a little worried about the idea of Moses having kittens, but it has turned out to be a very sweet, and fun experience for the kids....and me!

Happiness is...

...a crocheted shawl to snuggle into.

This shawl was commissioned by my mom for my Great Aunt Lorrayne who lives in Iowa. We're thinking she just might like to receive this....

Peek-A-Boo!

Moses peeks out from inside Quincy's backpack.

Moses Kitty!

I love how kitties will seek out the teensiest amounts of sunshine on the floor. We sure are enjoying our little cat.

Funny!

It turns out....HE is a SHE!!! We went through so much deliberation to come to and decide on Moses that her name will remain the same.

We like it...Now she can be....(are you ready for it???? GRANDMA MOSES!!!)

I crack me up!

Water Bottle Follies

Curious?


Maybe just a little?

I don't know what it is about cats and glasses of water. What makes them think that our vessels of water are there for them? Every cat I've been a guardian of has always seemed to think that my bevereages are placed about for them. One cat, Samantha, used to dip her paw into the drink, then lick the liquid from her paw. Tom, used to dip his paw into the cup, taste it and then dump the entire thing over. Now, Just 10 weeks old, Moses tries to stick his head into my water bottle to drink my water. He had a bowl of water on the floor JUST for him, but evidently, that wasn't good enough. He staked his claim on my water, too.

It made for some cute photos!

Welcome, Moses!

We adopted our sweet, little kitten from a neighbor.




Moses is a sweet little boy who has won all of our hearts.

We tried out several names for him before deciding on Moses. It was not an easy task finding a name we could all agree to use for him.
