Chandler

Remember baby Chandler? Our little fluffball?

Well, this is Chandler now. He's gotten sooooo big!

The email from his Mama:

Just wanted to give you an update on Chandler. He is quite the kitty, charming and devilish. You would hardly recognize him, he's grown so much. He doesn't speak human yet. "No!" and "Get out of there!" barely registers. He has a girl kitty companion named Ginger. They tear around the house like mad kitty when the crazies descend. My older kitties are appalled by all the energy and try to stay out of the way.

He's doing so great. It's so awesome to see my babies doing well.

Mac

Some of you may remember Mac from May 2009. He was one of 4 in my first ever litter of foster kittens, with his sisters, Nuala, Keely, and Molly. He was also my first adoption, so it was, understandably, a little difficult. However, I am friends with his parents on facebook so I get to see cute pictures pretty regularly. This shot is from February, but it just seems completely Mac to me. Such as Mac thing to do, lol. It's great to see him doing so well.

Bella

Bella (formerly known as Jasper in some posts) is doing quite well in her new home as you can see. She has a 5 year old mama who is quite enamored with her, and she is obviously doing quite well. It's always awesome to see my babies doing well in their new homes.

New Kittens

Josie, one of my two sweet, adorable tortoiseshells

Annabelle, her sister

Sweet, sweet baby Harley, my snuggle-bug

Luna, our Siamese mix

Enya, our lovey gray tabby with an orange "flame" on her forehead

Donovan, my lone boy. Our pretty buff boy (my dad calls him "Blondie")

All of my last crew got adopted quickly, and this is my new crew. Josie, Annabelle, Enya, Harley, Luna, and Donovan. All a bunch of sweethearts who like to snuggle. They're around 9 weeks old, if I'm remembering right. 5 girls, and 1 lone boy. There seems to be a real shortage of boys this year, bunches of girls and very few boys. Odd.

Shannon also got adopted a few weekends ago, so my sweet Shan now has a good home with people who love her, and no other kitties.

Update on Ducky and Gibbs

Squeak (Ducky) and Smudge (Gibbs)

OMG, They've grown up!
From their mama:

Smudge is vying for my attention and trying to help me type this note while purring loudly. Squeak is lying in the window, trying to take in the last of the smells before I close things down. They were watching me mow and work in the yard just before I took that photo. They want to go outside but DO NOT like their leashes. I won't let them out otherwise. They remain adorable.


Oh, and all of my litter of 6 are spoken for, except Sophie. And she has lots of people looking at her.

One dollar...

Sweet Jade, not long after we got him, when we still gave wet food on a plate where he could plow through it. LOL.

Kitty Kitty Updates

Jade, my male calico...

Turns out Chandler and Jade are boys. Good to know.

Also, Carys, Jasper (who is now known as Bella, as that is what her new family will call her), and Chandler all have deposits on them and will be going home as soon as they are fixed! Yay!

And now...for updated weights:

Alexa 20 oz up from 16.5
Chandler 22 oz up from 19 oz
Jade 25 oz up from 20 oz
Sophie 20 oz up from 17 oz
Bella (formerly known as Jasper) 25 oz up from 21 oz
Carys 17 oz (and just got shoved at the food bowl :P ) up from 14 oz

So an average weight gain of 3 oz each in 1 week, and upwards of 9 oz in a month at the smallest (Carys, who was originally 8 oz) to 13 oz (Jade was 12 oz when we got her).
