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!"

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Go back to check on him and hey, he's left his hidey spot! Check the bowl, he's gotten up and eaten most of his dinner, didn't touch the milk. I go looking. He's lurking between the bookcases, where I found her this morning, in a tight corner of course. Hissing. So he's feeling pretty normal 😀

Oh he did let me snip the hospital ID collar off him earlier, he wouldn't let the vet do it yesterday but must have been getting sick of it.

So, so far so good. Supervisor still very interested in them.

Taken earlier today. She's happy to come out of her tray when I am there.

Her tail keeps getting longer!

Heard some teeny squeaks; she wanted some company for play time! So I had a play with her and guess who else pops out of his corner and wants to play!

He's hissing and growling at her at present. I told him to knock it off, as they need each other.

Just chucking more toys over there to get them to come out.

Supervisor staring, from a distance.

Nothing happened there. Then he went to explore some tunnels. Supervisor saw him, went over there, they start howling and hissing at each other. He turns, runs, she follows, tail three times normal size. Now they're under furniture, glowering at each other.

Kids these days.

After a night light on sleep for us, and only a few hisses from them, it was morning again. Fed them all and went to the pool filled with trepidation. They were all alone in here....

But all is well, still all in their own spots. When I got back, I went to see him, in the corner. And he just left me pick him up and we sat and patted and cuddled and belly rubbed and he purred! It's been a few weeks since he's let me touch him. 😭 Eventually I took him to his bowl and pointed out his brekky.

I left him there and came back in ten mins and he'd eaten and gone back to the corner. Gave her some cuddles, and my Supervisor. Supervisor decided to ditch us all for Narnia.

So I got him out of the corner for another cuddle then put him in the laundry with his sister to sort out their issues. Because these two need each other, not fighting each other. Let's see if either figure out the cat door...

she's in the litter tray, he's in a box. I just cleaned the other litter tray in there for them and took the hood off the one she's hiding out in. Told them to sort it out, they love each other and need each other.

Shall leave them alone to resolve things.

Nipped out to get a haircut, came back to this.

Gave him some more cuddle time. He's still grumbling at her but it's less, at least when I'm around.

Had a brainwave, swapped the little cardboard home out with the palace temporarily. She leapt straight into it. Pulled him hissing out of the box and stuck him in on the ground floor and left them to it.

Did just give them dinner, she's eaten a fair amount and drunk lots of milk. He was too busy grumbling. Hopefully now they'll settle down and go back to the usual ways.

Checked on them. She was on top floor, he was on second floor and they were hissing and slapping at each other. So I went out to water the plants, came back and she's still on the top floor, snoozing and he's in loaf position on the ground.

At least most of dinner has been eaten, neither had much to eat yesterday or this morning. Things slowly getting back to normal.

Now to figure out how to use the washing machine tomorrow, and if they'll leave the laundry long enough. That palace moves a lot

Left to their own devices they are starting to chase each other....it is playtime for them after all.

Now to get them out of this nocturnal timezone.
