Marty's Trip to the Shelter

We have the internets again! Hooray! We are looking forward to catching up on our visiting, and seeing what our friends have been up to :) It is a pre-paid expensive service, so we wont get to do much visiting until we're in our proper home, but it sure is better than extortionate hotel rates!
On the day before we packed up our house, I visited the shelter. Guess who I ran into! Little Miss Tillie Tuxedo, and Mister Jasper Bunny. Tillie and Ruby were hanging out together on the bed. The lady hopes they are adopted together, they are the best of friends.

Jasper Bunny was very interested in me. I think he could smell Fui.

The lady has spoken to Julie at the cat hotel, and Fui and Suey are doing really well. They are eating up all of their food, and making friends with Julie. Fui is also making friends with another kitty, named Merlin. They are in hotel rooms next to each other. There have been delays with the Sydney house, so she and the man can't fly them down for another 2 weeks (a week longer than they originally thought). They can't wait to see their babies again!

P.S. A pink mocktail is a non-alcoholic cocktail. Fui and Suey's daddy likes the pink fruity ones.

Introducing...

Hi. My name is Marty. Marty Mouse. While Fui and Suey are locked up, I'm taking over round here. I started my day by rounding up those pesky kittens. Little Calvin Bunny needs his bits snipped so he can go up for adoption, and the twins need to go to another foster home where they will get nice and fat.

We asked about silly Stella, and found out that she has been under vet treatment, after pulling her stitches out. She has put her recovery back a while, but should be fine. I squeeked loudly, hoping she would hear my positive thoughts.

On a more positive note, doesn't young Mr. Bunny have beautiful eyes? The lady won't stop going on about how pretty they are. We also saw Tillie, Ruby and Jasper. Jasper was playing like a crazy cat and Tillie raced over straight away to say hello (which made the lady's heart skip a beat or two), while Ruby was snoozin'.

Once I had the kittens safely ensconced at the shelter, it was time to go for a ride with my friend Fui and his sister Suey. Fui cried the whole way to the Kitty hotel, like a really manly mancat. I didn't make a peep! Julie was very nice to them, and they seemed to relax quite well. The lady was sad to leave them, though, and can't wait to see them again.Tonight, I'm enjoying having the house to myself while I prepare for my road trip. I hear there are some big things in my near future!

Slow News Day

Fui: So, Suey, have you got anything interesting going on?

No? Me neither. Unless used tissues count. I've seen a MILLION of them. I know. It's so yuck! I know where there might be some goings on going on. Hey! Jasper!Jasper: I have news! I have news! I went in for my snip of de doodahs day on Tuesday, but I was 20grams too light. I was going to complain of discrimination against the tailless, but I'm really not a very political Bunny.
So I've spent the last few days running wild with Calvin, Stella and the little fuzzy babies! And it is so much fun. They are easier to wrestle than Ruby and Tillie, who were pretty dirty fighters.

I think my news beats Fui's tissue news anyday!:)

Cat Trees

Cat trees are very fun. We like to climb up and play on them.The hanging ball is our favourite part!

It lets us practice our balance and co-ordination.
And we can play lots of games:)

Love Tillie and Ruby.

P.S. We went back to have our ladygardenectomies today. Soon we will hopefully find our Forever homes. We wonder if they will have cat trees?

Playtime with Tillie

We've been having lots of fun playing games! I like to play Top of the Mountain on the couch. Sometimes, I even get to throw great big shadows on the roof, with the flash of the flashy beast helping me out. Jasper and Ruby spend lots of time racing about, playing THoE. Ruby is in mid-gallop here!

Stella is a bit naughty in her playtime. She fell in love with mum's boots, which aren't really a toy. Now those boots are hidden, because they don't go to well with clawrs!
Did you get to have some fun playtime today?

Love Tillie.

P.S. There was a question yesterday about whether our foster mum will continue to foster when she moves to Sydney. The short answer is- hopefully! The organisation mum fosters for here has a shelter in Sydney, and there are a couple of smaller organisations she has found. It will depend what kind of home the live in, and how Fui and Suey settle. That is especially so if they are transitioning to inside kitties. At the moment, we have plenty of space. We've got the dedicated kitten room, and an additional spare bedroom that mum comandeered for Stella (it was Dad's store room- ha!). We also have a spare bathroom that mum can use as a quarantine area if need be. That is where she and Polly Smitten-Kitten spent a couple of nights when Polly was very sick. It also means Fui and Suey have plenty of space to go to when they need a break from the kitten crazies.

Foster Mum has been looking at places in Sydney with at least two bedrooms, but as they will be living in the city, space is at a premium. It's also unlikely they'll get a proper spare bathroom. As they are hoping to add a human kitten to the equation over the next posting, it might not be doable. But foster mum is really hoping it will be! The crate experiment with Stella, Calvin, Ellie and Angus has given her hope!:)

Feets!

It has been said that the way to a woman's heart is a pair of shoes. For little Ruby Bunny and Tillie Tuxedo, this certainly seems to be true. When their Uncle Andy was staying, both girls went mad for him, and in particular, his Converse AllStars.

Ruby in particular was smitten with his choice in footwear!

Calvin Bunny is getting better. He is still very thin, but his poops are improving, and he is developing a better appetite. He seems to have decided that he is part of Stella's family- he will regularly have snuggle time and sleeps with the babies, and Stella has taken to cleaning his face after meals. He is a funny Bunny!:)

P.S. Neville was at our house in yesterdays post because his mum and dad had some people over, and their house was a bit cat un-friendly for the day. Mum was going to be home with her parents and brother anyway, so Nev came over to hang out for a while. We stayed upstairs, and Nev was downstairs.

Cats in Mugs

What? In here?Where?
I think the mug is tricking.

Ruby Loves to Play

Hi! It's Ruby here!I found a really fun collar to play with! I'm sure it was left out there just for me. If you don't want to watch me, you can watch Alias in the background. Sydney and Vaughan are getting their romance on!

I also love the hanging toys in the crate. I am a very playful girl. If I can find it, be it hanging, crinkling, waving, or just generally there, I will try to get to it.

As far as I am concerned, toys should be mandatory at all places.

Girly Sunday

Sunday is a good day for revelling in our girly femininity.
My coat is looking nice and shiny, don't you think? I like to hang out with the waterbowl. It can be nice to look at my reflection. You get two Rubys for the price of one in this photo!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend:)

Love Tillie and Ruby.

Kitten TV

It's Tillie here! How are you?! It's an interesting place in the crate downstairs. We got to meet a really big cat!!! He is ginourmous, and I went 'rrrrrrrraaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr' just a little bit. I watched him a lot while he was snoozin'. He doesn't seem as big then.

My foster mum is happy to be able to watch us littlies get some naps in. Usually when we are in the kitten room, we get super excitable when she comes in. So it's cute to be able to watch us just relax:) She caught little Ruby in the middle of a dream. Notice how I said 'little'? I can do that because I am the biggest now! You can see Ruby doing a bit of dream twitching in this video.

I think Fui might be a bit scared of us. We do look pretty scary and intimidating I guess, so I can understand. He gets braver when we're having naps though. I wonder if he thinks we smell good? Hahaha! I think I caught him having a bit of a giggle at Jasper. He has a bit of a poop problem where bits of it stick to his hair, and he doesn't clean it. He got a haircut today- on his butt! Hahahaha! His little tail stub is bald!! Ruby got a trim, too. I didn't, because I ensure I look immaculate after using the facilities.

I think I'm gonna like it here:)

Moving Time

Tillie and the Bunny family have moved downstairs. They now stay in the crate, in the living room. They are allowed out for lots of supervised play during the day.

This is for two reasons. The Bunnys get very nervous around new people, so mum is hoping to get them used to new sights and sounds. We want them to get used to what it is like living in a normal home. Secondly, the Bunny boys have decided the world is their litterbox. We're hoping they wont have much choice in the crate. If they get to the adoption cages without knowing how to use the box, it wont be good.

Tillie is still having a bit of a cry, but we think she will get used to it.

I'm still deciding what I think of it all! I'm sleeping on one of Dad's stinky t-shirts here. He is going to be home for the Easter long weekend, so we'll have to get him to stink up some more clothes:) MOL!

Theatre Thursday

Our Dad asked us to put up some videos of the fosters, in particularly the Bunnys and Tillie, so he could get a better idea of what they are like. As we are nothing if not accomodating, we would like to present the following for your consideration:

Stella's girls in 'Two Screaming Two Week Olds Learn To Walk'

Tillie Tuxedo-Saurus Rex in 'Play Tillie, Play!'

Jasper & Calvin Bunny and Meryl Oscar in 'Run Bunny!'

Jasper, Calvin and Ruby Bunny and Meryl Oscar in 'Run Bunny! Part 2'.

More Introductions!

We have another new litter!

This little lad is Calvin Bunny. Isn't he a darling?! He has something that his brother and sister are missing. A tail!This young lady is Ruby Bunny (thanks for the suggestion, Poppy Q!).

And this young man is Jasper Bunny.

The litter originally had 5 members, but two have gone out with another foster family. Of the five, there were 4 boys and 1 girl (just like the Oscars!). The other two boys were 1 ginger with tail, and one champagne without a tail. We think one of the parents may have been a Manx, which is quite exciting. It was a shame to split them up, but we also have to be careful not to get too many in the house, as that would just make things too difficult, and prevent any of them recieving decent socialisation. One of our goals with the kittens it to help them become outgoing, and confident in approaching people coming to look at the kittens. Mum was thrilled to see that Sally was running over to say hello to people, when she visited her this morning.

You might wonder why Mickey, Heath and Penny did not run up to the sides of the cages. For one simple reason- they were all adopted yesterday! Wahoooooo!!!! :)

Tillie is happy to have some young playful kittens to have fun with, as Meryl is a bit reserved.

Although she has a unique way of showing it! Hahaha!

We hope you have a wonderful week!
