Brought Peach and Daisy to the vet for a quick vaccine booster and they took them back without me! I wasn’t prepared! I know Peach is really nervous and I wanted to hold her!

The kitties were so sleepy today, and so cuddly. This girl has leapt into my lap several times and dozed right off.

Four Seasons Landscaping Day makes me think of @jennyjennijenne.bsky.social . It was one of the greatest Internet days of all time. She was the best internet friend. If I ever wanted to talk shit about any of you she was my first DM.

The kitties don’t really respect that Sunday mornings are for yoga, meditation and reading, all quiet and sitting still activities.

I am watching Housewives with two sleeping kittens. This is why we got cats. (Peach is in my lap and Daisy is on a stack of blankets behind my chair)

How do you get anything done with two kittens running around? Witching hour started early tonight and all I do is guard my counters and table from invasion and then forget what I was doing.

If you have a house cleaner, what do you do with the cats on housecleaning day?

Peaches scratched at my leg so I petted her. Then she jumped up my legs so I picked her up and she LAID HER HEAD DOWN ON MY ARM WHILE I PETTED HER. 😻 (Kittens sleeping for maximum cuteness)

Do you have any advice for keeping cats from jumping up on the counters? They can’t be unsupervised at all when they’re on the main floor, meaning I can’t even just sit while they wander around, I have to patrol the kitchen.

The kittens are fun and cute, but they don’t yet sit with me while I read. They have to be supervised on the main floor (counter/lamp leaping) and they never ever sit still. I hear rumors that they nap in their basement lair, but like when my children were toddlers they do not sleep in my presence.

Having kittens is like having toddlers again, I just made a tent out of a towel and a clothes drying rack and just made their day.

Cat People: Do you feed a raw/wet food only diet, and do you have good resources for me to read about it? (We are starting here based on the recommendations/requirements of the Animal Welfare League, trying to find our way with cost and good sense).

Question for the cat people: do you have pet insurance and what kind of level of coverage do you have/find helpful?

The kitties had about an hour of supervised upstairs time this morning and that wore them out so we’ll have another visit after naptime. They mostly (adorably!) peeked around corners and scouted out hiding spots. Peach found a toy mouse that had been hidden somewhere by Noodle. ❤️ Pic fr last night

Here is the ornery kitten testing another door. This is not the one she opened this morning, that one has a flipping lever handle and now is barricaded. On this one the handles don’t turn, you pull with some force to open them. I don’t *think* she can get in these doors, but she’s going to try.

Started the morning with my heart racing because one of the kittens can open a door and let themselves into the unfinished storage (not kitten friendly!) side of the basement.

The kittens are here! It’s hard to get any pictures because they’re either hiding or running and chasing at full speed. They are Peach (litter name Marigold which I may still use) and Daisy. Peach is the torbie is with white chest and Daisy is the gray/brown tabby.

So, is there like a Cat Mom 101 resource out there? Because we have found our kitties and should have them very soon!

*whispers* we’re going to see some particular cats tomorrow.

Going to see more cats tomorrow, at another adoption organization that is not the county shelter. And this time I’m bringing my husband. While I am the hardest sell in our family, he is the biggest softie, so we’ll see how many kittens I find in his pockets when it’s time to leave.
