Fun on Friday

Hi everybuddy! It's little Jonathan Sparrow here. I am here to show you that us boys know how to have just as much as our sister Lily.Gus thinks Lishy is very interesting, but that doesn't stop him running around like a crazy kitten with his tail all poofed up. He likes to crab walk across the room, then sprint off in the other direction. Benny thinks Fui is just about the coolest cat on the planet, and follows him around intently. Here he is checking out Fui's collar. He's looking forward to being big enough for one of his own.
Suey likes to watch what we are up to, but keeps a bit of a distance. Lewis didn't even know he was being watched here! We've got a big weekend coming up. When we first came to the shelter with our mum, the only empty foster home was our foster mum's. She was only scheduled to be available for the next five weeks, because their house was then going to be invaded by family for the wedding. The shelter called my foster mum to see if we could stay with her for five weeks, when they could make sure another foster home was free to take us. Tomorrow morning we will make the trip back to the shelter, and tomorrow afternoon we will make the trip to our new foster home. Mum will stay with us until we are weaned off at 8-10 weeks, then she will go back for her desexing and adoption. We will go back in when we are over the kilo mark.
Our foster mum feels guilty that she can't keep us for the whole time, but the foster coordinator has promised her that we are going to the very best foster home on their books. In the meantime, we have some more photos of our time here to share with you over the next few days.
Have a fun weekend :)

Tortie Tuesday

Kitties! HI! GUESS WHAT!! Now that we're getting bigger and our quarantine period is well passed, we have been allowed to come on short excursions downstairs!The boys come down in pairs, and I come down on my own because I am such a brave girl. We come down for short 5-10 minute periods so that our mum doesn't get too stressed out, and will start stretching it out as we get accustomed to it. I love exploring down here. There are all sorts of new sights and sounds and smells. Lishy totally adores me, and we are becoming fast friends.He even thinks I am ready for some wrassling practice! He is a good foster brother, and is very gentle. He told me that he used to be as little as me, but I don't really believe him. He is way bigger than I am! I'm off for another play now!
Love Lily.

The Fabulous Five on Friday

HELLO!!!!!!!!! IT'S BENNY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M A LITTLE BIT EXCITED TO TELL YOU ABOUT HOW ME AND MY SIBLINGS ARE GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN "USE YOUR INSIDE VOICE, BENNY"? OH. SORRY.Here is my brother Jonathan showing how we are getting better and better at eating real food. We're even starting to have a munch on some crunchies. Milkbar time with mum is still our favourite, though. Behind Gus here, you can see one of our litterboxes. We are using them really well! Yesterday, our foster mum saw little baby #2s in there for the first time! (sorry if that's too much information. Take a look at Gus's baby blues if you need to take your mind off it).
Here I am with my other brother Lewis and our little sister Lily. She is the smallest of the five of us. My foster mum said she is one of the friendliest little baby ladycats she has ever known. Her favourite game is called 'Shimmy up the leg of my foster mum's pants while she washes our bowls', and she is teaching us all how to play it. I hope you have a fun weekend. I think we will spend it running around and being a little bit crazy!

Mini Mancat Monday

Jonathan
Gus
Benny We're 4 weeks old today, kitties!
A message from the Moimoi cat- thankyou for all your kind purrs about my sore chin. I've been good letting my mum clean it, and only tried to bite her once. It's looking much much better, and I am a lot more comfortable.

Tortie Tuesday

Hello everybody! It's Dahlia here, with my pretty little Lily. She loves having alone cuddles with me. While she was having an extra snack with me, do you know what my boys were doing?They were all hanging out in the litterbox! My babies are three weeks old now, and are growing up so much. They have started to use the litterbox on their own, which my foster mum gets crazy excited over. They are also much more mobile and are starting to totter around strongly. Now that they are toddling about more and more, our bathroom has had a bit of a re-design. My foster mum has set up the kitten fence to restrict the area my kittens can wander in, while I still have access to the whole bathroom.
I go through the gap in the fence to cuddle with my babies and feed them. I have my dinner outside the fence to stop the babies walking through it (which made me crazy!), and my litter trays are also outside, just off to the side of the picture. A ladycat needs her privacy, you know. Now, it's dinner time so I'm off to have some noms! :)
Love Dahlia.

Wednesday Weigh In

Hi kitties. It's Gus here. My foster mum told me I am quite a popular boy (hi Rumblemum!), so I thought I would stop by and say hello! All five of us babies are putting on weight, and our mama is losing it! Lewis is the heaviest of my siblings, and Lily is the lightest. Our mum is enjoying all sorts of foods, including kitten formula to get some more fat in her, lots of crunchies, rabbit patties, and chicken stew flavoured Innova Flex. Mama likes to lick all the gravy off the chicken first, which my foster mum says the resident kitty Fui does too. Last night she got some sardines, and she went crazy over them!

There is some funny graffiti close to the shelter I was in when I was a freshie.
There are a few of these kitties around Newtown, the suburb the shelter is in. The area is supposed to have one of the highest densities of real kitties living there in Australia. I think that the silver and purple tabby is nearly as cute as a little ginger one :)
Love from Gus.

Thoughtful Thursday

Hello kitties! My name is Dahlia, and I live in the upstairs bathroom with my four boys and my little girl. My foster mum says I am a beautiful sweet girl who is settling into life as a housecat very well. Because I am a youngster and have been under a bit of stress, my foster mum has been weighing my babies so that we can make sure they are getting enough food and are putting on good weight. I supervise closely to make sure that my foster mum gets the correct readings. This is me helping her to weigh my baby girl Lily.
Lily is my special girl. She is a tortie just like me, and is the smallest of my babies. We like to have snuggle time together, and sometimes I will bring her out of the plastic container my babies have as a bed into my squishy bed, but leave the boys behind!As well as my squishy bed and the plastic container I sleep in with my babies, I have another cardboard box that I like to rest in. It's good to have options. I have to get back to my babies now! See you later :)

The Boys Have Names!

Our little boys have names now. We have named them after three very special mancats. Our first two little black furred boys have been named after two of Cory's Angel brothers.

This is Lewis.
This is Jonathan. The little black and white boy has been named after Suey's special friend from Catster. This is Benny. Gus continues to grow healthy and strong. Lily does too. All five have opened their eyes now, and are much more active. Dahlia has found her voice in the last two days, and has some nice chats with mum. The little family is settling into life in the kitten room very well.
