FrankJust been playing with the babies. They are so playful and active, my Supervisor won't know what hit her.
Got stunk out again by my little tabby friend's bathroom visit at 9pm.
Babies have had their brekky. She has a new game where she climbs up the back of an office chair (being so light) and sits on top, surveying the room. He is sitting on the chair, whacking at her tail as she does this.
I get the feeling she's about to climb all my bookcases.
Babies were up and raring to go by the time I got there for brekky. Last night I gave them two sachets for dinner then one for late dinner and it was all gone. So gave them 3 meals for brekky and he's already devoured 1.5 meals on his own. All kitten milk was drunk as well.
This is why I am going through tonnes of kitty litter 😀
Babies, now with full bellies, are back to playing.
Endless kitten wrestling here

Babies have had dinner, are now just in sleepy wandering mode at present. Kitten madness won't really kick off for another hour ish.
Meanwhile my Supervisor is not feeling great, took her to the vet today. I had suspected UTI but discovered she's got some gingivitis and a mouth ulcer. So have to rule out UTI (and wait for her to pee to get a sample), then she'll be going in for dental surgery soon, my poor girl.
Me at the vets "Welp, see you Wednesday with the babies!"
Kitten playtime has begun
Victory! After following my Supervisor around for the past few hours I now have a pee sample to take to the vet first thing in the morning. I do think it's not a UTI now, this should rule it out.
She won't like dental surgery, had another kitty years back with some bad teeth. He adapted to it though, pretty quickly.
Another morning, one more sleep until everyone's finally united. I fed the babies who were already up, and they hoovered down most of their brekky by the time I got back from my walk. Patted all the doggies at the park.
Then went for a drive and dropped off my Supervisor's little sample pot. And patted a very excited doggy waiting for their vet appointment.
Babies have had dinner. They are currently snuggled on top of each other on a chair. Whatever's left in their plates and milk bowl goes away at bedtime, and then it's fasting time until tomorrow. He's not to eat before surgery from 10pm so no food for either.
Hopefully this makes it easier to catch him in the morning!
Once he's in the carry cage, she can have brekky then we'll go to the vet!
Babies having playtime. Food and milk is gone. Fasting has started.
D Day is here. Went down to feed them, got her some brekky and waited for him to come into the bathroom. He finally did, then I got the door shut before he could bolt. He tried to hide from me in the litter tray, hissing all the while. I got him out of there and took him to the already open carrier and then he got super mad so now I have some cuts in my wrist but he's in the carrier. She'll be easy to stick in the carrier, however she can go in my old one as he's still mad as hell in there.
She has been vaxxed and he's gone off to surgery. He'd scrunched himself into a ball in the corner of the carrier, poor baby.
She's a little sleepy from the vaxx. And has decided safest place right now is hiding in the litter box.
My supervisor is under a desk, feeling very suspicious.
I have taken this oppo to move all the kitten stuff upstairs so she can find something familiar to hide in.
Supervisor is hanging with me, is sus.
I cleaned three trays out, moving her along as I cleaned. She's back in a tray. Supervisor crept in, tail got all boofed up and the two sniffed noses. Then Supervisor growled a couple of times, baby hissed, Supervisor now under a seat thinking about things.
Someone wants to eat kitten brekky.
Baby is sleeping in the litter box, no doubt some tiredness from the vaccine and it's been quite a stressful, tiring, morning.
Got baby out of the box, she sat in my lap for a while looking around in amazement at her new world. Then got startled and ran under the oven. So I had to get her out from under there and block that off. She's back in the litterbox.
Things are very scary when you've grown up outside and suddenly all this is happening.
Her brother's surgery went fine, shall pick him up shortly. The two of them together again will reassure the both of them, no doubt.
Well he was the naughtiest patient today, apparently. Not that he's at all socialised to begin with, unfortunately. Been hissing and not happy post op. Then they discovered they hadn't given him a vaxx so he got that too. Is home, in the carrier still. Has hissed at me twice so I've put out dinner for them both and left them to sort things out. He's facing her in the litterbox.
Heard a clunking sound from the laundry, he was ducking back into the carrier. Some food has been eaten, I suspect by him. She's still in the litter tray, in loaf position, looking relaxed. I have no doubt they'll come out tonight to explore once it's dark and quiet.
Just checked on them. He's still in carrier but Iooks like he's had more to eat.
She's still in a hooded tray, laying and relaxed in there. I picked her up and put her by food bowls to show her dinner but she wasn't interested and has gone back to the tray.
Just heard a hiss coming from there, I think he's hissed at his sister.
I got woken in the night by my Supervisor cleaning my hair. A couple hisses happened but nothing major.
Found her between some bookcases but she came out for me. Got her to have some brekky.
He's currently lodged himself here. Still has vet ID collar on him as he wasn't letting them take it off. I'll let him sort himself out at his own pace. Hopefully hunger will eventually bring him out.
Put my friend in a familiar place. She was ok in there, poked at some toys. But has gone back to the safety of the laundry.
Have been visiting with the babies all day, she's happy to come out and get pats, play with some toys, purring. Makes teeny squeaks occasionally at me.
He's been hiding all day.
Dinner time rolls around.
I get everyone's bowls cleaned and ready. Put a fresh lot of food and milk near where he's hiding, and bring dinner to her. Encourage her to come out to eat, she has a little, wants pats and belly rubs and reassurance. I clean out the trays so everyone has plenty of options without conflict.
Kit Bashir@vwdasher extra love for them all xox
Poesie@vwdasher aww! Big day! Hope they settle down.
@psychopoesie me too! Hoping now he's here she'll feel better and less scared.
@vwdasher yeah, should work out that way. They can give each other cuddles. Or a few smacks to get all the stress out. Depends on the cats.
@psychopoesie if they start play fighting again I will know they're both fine 😀
Jude🇵🇸@vwdasher Lol, poor kids are all discombobulated. What's the surgery he's having?
@sister_ratched Neutering, before he knocks up his sister!
@vwdasher Oh, of course! 😆
@vwdasher thats cute the way she is side-eyeing out the front of her head, there.
@Unixbigot she is very good at it. Right now she's on a footstool beside me, giving me side eye. She's like WTF WHY DID YOU BRING HOME ANOTHER ONE earlier.
@vwdasher lol, dem demons
@Unixbigot they take turns diving under that rug and chasing each other. I bet they still do this upstairs, once they get to use the big cat rug I have up here.
