The kittens have arrived! I got a call while I was at work on Wednesday. I picked them up straight from work and have been missing my sleep ever since. I have 5 three week old kittens and their mom. 3 brown tabbies (one has a little tortie to her, she's the only girl), 1 orange tabby, and 1 black/white tuxedo. The orange one looks exactly like what I think Winslow would like like as a kitten, except Winsey would have thumbs. So I've named this one Winster. I also have the mom. She looks to be about a year or two and is VERY sweet. Great mother also. She is a short hair dilute calico/tortie look with even a bit of a tabby hint to her. A true mix. I don't know what to call her. She's taken a liking to me though and is constantly at my side. Meaning that the kittens are also at my side and I've come to resemble mother duck.
I also got a 3 month old kitten. It was at the humaine society. Scheduled to be euthanized. Papers had been signed and they were preparing to take her from the room. All because of some blood in her urine. This foster lady that I'm working with took her instead. Took the kitten toa vet who said she's fine. They were looking at flea dirt mixing with the newspaper! The kitten is one of the most relaxed, snuggly things I've ever met. She will stay in the same spot on the bed for hours, but the second you touch her - she purrs like crazy. She and I have also had some bond time - much to Krystal's jealousy. Krys wants to adopt her, so we're working on a plan to get the parentals to agree. This kitten stays in Krystals room while the other 6 stay in mine.
My cats are all well of course. Spent quite a bit of snuggle time with Winsey yesterday. Miss Kitty is still obsessed with the red mouse at work and occasionally Waldo will steal it from her. I wish I could have them here, but the three of them would go mad being cooped up in the two upstairs rooms. Unlike the kittens who are all just happy to have a home at the moment.
