In My Garden

I spent the other evening hanging in my garden. It was nice to relax, and feel the grass between my paw pads.

And we can't forget playing, which is the super most fun thing ever! Mum likes this picture, even though you can't really see it clearly.

But the whole time I thought there was something a little amiss. I'm not sure what it was.
I don't suppose you have any ideas of what it could be?





P.S. We have great news! Freja and Athena were both adopted on the weekend! Hooray!

Hello and Goodbye

Hi! It's Polly Smitten-Kitten here.
I wanted to share these nice photos of Freja and Athena hanging out together.
They are two kitties who really enjoy being sisters:)

Our foster mum didn't come home with an empty carrier, though. She came home with FIVE more kittens! There are four boys and one girl, and the shelter workers named them after Oscar nominees- Sean, Heath, Mickey, Brad and Meryl.
Speaking of Oscars, guess what! has announced the winners of the Acatemy Awards, and I won in the Best Review of '80s Television category! I am so excited!
I would like to thank Fin and her Mom for hosting such a fun competition, the Dell laptop that I watched the show on, the students of West Beverly High School, and my foster mum for transcribing my thoughts on Beverly Hills 90210.

Have a happy week:)

Look At Me!!!! :)

Hi! These videos are not too good, but we got our foster mum to show how well Polly is going. With her perfect timing, she got the camera out when Polly had just eaten and was ready for a nap, so she wasn't very active. However, you can see how alert she is, and how she is focusing really well with her beautiful golden eyes. When she was unwell, she was completely apathetic to anything going on around her, and didn't look or focus. You can also see how lovely her coat is looking. It has started getting really soft in the last couple of days. She has nearly caught up to Penny's weight, too.

Of course, we couldn't let Polly be the sole focus, and did our best to get some camera time, too. We were feeling happy in these videos, because our foster mum told us some really happy news. Loki and Apollo were both adopted in recent days! Hooray!!!!!!! Our foster mum found out today, and she is very happy for both beautiful boys. Athena and Freja are scheduled for their ladygardenectomies on Tuesday.

Our foster mum also wanted to share something with the other beans. Today she went and donated blood. It was much easier than she imagined, and while it stung a bit as the needle went in, after that it only felt like a bit of pressure. One donation is 500mLs, and it took about 10 minutes (minus the paperwork). The 500mLs in each donation could be used for up to 3 people, for people who've been in accidents, people who need blood stocks on standby during surgeries, and people who need blood products to live a healthier life. Our foster mum recommends looking into the donation process where you live, to see if it's something you might like to try. The donation has left her with a good feeling in her heart.

Happy almost Friday!
From the Bradys and the Smitten Kittens.

Weighty Wednesday

Bet you thought this would be a Fui post, right? Hahahaha!

It's not though. It's me, Freja!
and it's me, Athena, too! We found something today that shocked us a LOT.
Can you believe how little we used to be?!

I guess that's what eating your dinner will do :) Remember how we were christened the Little Litter? Compared to our little sisters now, we should be called the Big Strong Litter.

Our foster mum forgot to give some great news! Remember this cool guy, Thor?


He was adopted on Valentines Day! He is a Valentines Day baby! Hooray!:)

Love from Athena and Freja Brady.

Washing is Cute

Did you know that having a clean is really cute? I didn't, but it must be so. I base that on the amount of time my foster mum spent taking photos!
At first, I tried hiding my face. I thought I'd play it a little coy.


I put my hat on, too.
But all that face hiding really started to get in the way of my bath!

When I finished my bath, I decided to give myself a manicure.
I finished off with a spit polish. Hahaha get it!? I combined a spit shine with nail polish!
Have a great week:)

Funny Face Friday

After we have dinner, we like to play a game where we pull funny faces!

Penny got things off to a silly start. She couldn't decide whether or not to poke out her tongue!

Polly is still at a basic level. But we wont hold that against her- we're just happy she's eating!
Freja went for a more demure face pulling on this occasion.
Sally refused to play. She thinks she is the sensible one.
For this game, I crowned myself as the winner!

Hahaha!

Freedom!

Hi Peeps! Guess what! After lots of observation, we are being allowed downstairs to play with the big cats! It's enough to make a kitty jump for joy, even if it does make a picture come out blurry (especially when our foster mum is the wriggly one taking photos! MOL!).Freja put her prettiest face on for the occasion, with lasers:activated.
There are outside things inside! Isn't that weird? It's for the same reason we have the windows in our room taped up and covered, incase the bad wind comes. It gets a bit scary, and we hide in our hidey spots when it gets loud. Silly storms. But enough of that, back to the fun stuff! The Smitten-Kittens have never seen plants before. The two remaining Bradys have, but that was when they were too small to really appreciate it. Cat grass is a pretty good introduction to flora!
And a spot of watering can wrestling can never be discounted for it's fun value.

Neither, of course, can hanging out with the Moimoi cat! He was sitting in his corner. It's the spot he likes to chill in when it's really hot, because he gets a good breeze and the cold tiles.
We hope you have had a happy start to your week:)

Hello there!

Right, that's it. It's high time we got some blog time around here! So I am taking it upon myself to tell you a little bit about us.We were brought in to the shelter with our mumcat when we were still in her tummy. Our mumcat is very sweet, so the shelter made the decision that she should be allowed to have the kittens, and then go through to adoption when we were ready to be seperated from her. As it was the busiest time of the year for the shelter, we were very lucky that our mum was such a lovebug, or it would have been a different story.

We stayed in a special area with our mumcat for several weeks after we were born. Then, on the day our foster-mum-to-be brought Odin and Thor in to be desexed, the shelter decided it was time to seperate us from our mumcat. We were driving her loopy, and had learned how to clean ourselves and use the litter box.

So we came home to meet our foster brother Fui and sister Suey (through the door, foster-mum is obsessively cautious after the Blossoms), and our new sisters Athena and Freja, and brothers Loki and Apollo. After a hiccup with super ear mites, we are settling in nicely.

This is my sister Sally. She is the biggest of our litter, but is also the biggest scaredy cat. When we first came to our foster home, she spent a lot of time hissing at shadows and growling at gusts of wind, but is getting better. She is getting better though, and even comes over to say hi to our foster mum when she comes into our room to visit. She likes playing rough and tumble with Apollo.
This is my sister Penny. She is the friendliest of the three of us, and loves to climb into laps. She has a monster purr, too! Her ears are pretty froot batty, don't you think?

We are getting along well with our two new sisters. This is me and Penny with Athena, who also loves to play games. We have learned that Freja is good for cuddles. Loki was the best big brother ever, he took such great care of us. He would even clean our faces after dinner!

It is great having brothers around, as we are a litter of just girls. We have fun with them. And since we're not related, I can say they are both pretty spunkalicious!

Loki and Thor will probably have his hoohaectomy at the same time as our mumcat, tomorrow. We are purring for them all to have speedy recoveries and find fabulous families.
I hope you are having a lovely week:)

Eeeewwwww!

I heard something very funny! Really really very funny! Before my foster daddy went away, he and my foster mum went to a place called the . It is about an hours drive from where we are living. It's quite a pretty place.
This is my foster daddy making friends with their horse. He was an old boy, and very friendly.
But that's not the funny thing. Do you know what the Tea Room specialty is? It is a drink called
. See this animal? It is a Civet Cat.See this? It is a preserved Civet Cat poop.
Do you know what that is in the poop? Coffee beans!!!
Civet Cats eat coffee berries as part of their natural diet. The beans pass through their system undigested. These beans are then harvested, and made into coffee!! And it's expensive coffee, too. One cup at the Tea Rooms was AU$50 (US$32.83 as of Saturday night). It is thought that the digestive enzymes break down some of the proteins in the bean, making it less bitter. If you or your humans saw , you would have seen that they had trying a cup on their list of things to do.
Did you read that!? People pay to drink pooped out coffee beans! Humans are bananas, kitties. Bananas! The tea rooms sell 4 cups a week!
By the way, my foster mum had a strawberry milkshake, and my foster dad had a chocolate milkshake. They are not brave:)
My big ginger foster brother Odin has found his Forever Home!!!! He found his yesterday. Thor was held back last week, and will be desexed this Wednesday. Loki went back today, and will also be desexed on Wednesday. Hooray for the Big Litter Boys!:)
LOLed at you by Athena the pretty kitten (see how pretty I'm getting now that my face is filling out?).
