Good night innernets. (Hazel)

Nigel, as usual, has somethin' to say and Benji is all "Yep. Yep. Totally. You're right!"

Former foster! In 2011, Dorothy showed up after an EF4 tornado went through our area. 14 years later, she "still starts the day with a toy hunt and some caterwauling. Driving down to Alabama [from St. Louis] to adopt her is still the best road trip ever." Happy Gotcha Day! ❤️

Sebastian's selfie skills are ::chef's kiss:: perfect!

Is Nigel da BAYbee? All signs point to YES.

Throw Back Thursday: if you've wondered just how long the pink Adirondack chair has been around, I wondered that very thing myself, so went looking. The first picture I could find was this shot of Pablo and his crazy eyesfrom way back in 2020. The chair has held up better than I would have expected!

Matilda will sleep like an angel in her frog-themed spaceship bed. (She looks so SMUG.)

Good night innernets. (Margarita)

Sebastian and Margarita. (Or to use their nicknames: Bash & Mousie.) Please don't start with the "ShE'S BeInG ToO RoUgH WiTh hIm" - 98.6% of the time, he starts these tussles. She's helping to teach him his manners (and he always ALWAYS comes back for more.)

Nigel LOVES to burrow under blankets and then pop his head out to see what's going on.

Sebastian interacting with Hazel, with Benji, and with Hazel again. They're so SWEET with him!

This is going to be Monty's author photo when his memoir "Surviving the Great Starvation of May - June 2025 (How I Managed on Only Three Meals a Day)" comes out. Such a distinguished gentleman.

The kittens got to meet Uncle Rocco, and they were not impressed. The kitten crying is Sebastian, who thought I might be hiding a bottle from him. And the growler - both times! - is Benji. I am blown away that such a laid back kitten has that kind of reaction!

Oh DEAR, Hazel is having a starvation and she wants EVERYONE to know about it!

Benji says "Oh no. She's got that 'I'm going to kiss you one million times' look on her face again."

Good night innernets. (Benji)

It's a Sebastian pie! (My favorite!) Seems a little extra sassy today.

BOOP BOOP! BOOPing Matilda and Hazel and Margarita.

Benji's all "HAZEL, come onnnnnn, give me the phone! I need to doom scroll for 3 hours and then wonder why I didn't get anything done today!"

Sebastian is 5 weeks old now, and still loves his bottle. Look at those wiggly ears! (Yes, he's eating solid food now. He's getting supplemental bottles until he decides he wants to live the bottle-free life, and if that's 'til he goes off to college, then so be it!)

Getting ever closer to a lined-up picture! From left: Margarita, Hazel (front), Monty (back), Benji, Nigel, Matilda, and Sebastian (in the pie plate).

I love how well this picture shows off Matilda's frosted coat. So cool!

The kittens have donned their crazypants. I swear to you, I'd give anything to have ONE TENTH of this energy. My house would be SPOTLESS. youtu.be/Npv4laoMOvc

Good night innernets. (Monty and Nigel, with a Margarita photobomb)

Monty's in his spaceship, waiting for the mother ship to call him home. Beep boop!

Matilda does some sideways skittering, everyone else is super rambunctious, and Sebastian is PRETTY SURE there should be a bottle in his mouth.

Benji gives Sebastian the ol' lickeroo. It takes a village to keep that little guy clean.

Nigel and Hazel have a sweet moment in my lap. See? They CAN be sweet to each other... they just usually choose NOT to be.

Former foster Pippin (formerly Carmy) is looking SO grown up! (Thanks, Sharon!)

Rabbit rabbit rabbit. (Matilda) ⁠Wikipedia: “Rabbit rabbit rabbit” - a superstition in Britain & North America wherein a person says/repeats the words “rabbit”, “rabbits” and/or “white rabbits” aloud upon waking on the 1st day of a month, ensuring good luck for the rest of it.

Good night innernets. (Benji)

Hazel encourages Sebastian to "Just hush up for a minute, kid. I'm trying to listen to the Bob and Sheri podcast." She's a fan.

Hazel finds a bug, then loses it. But never fear... Nigel is here to "help"!

What a difference 4 weeks makes - talk about a glow-up. Margarita's fur is soft and plush, she no longer wears her food, and while she's still little, she's gaining weight well. For a kitten I wasn't sure was going to make it when I got her, she's doing amazing!

Sebastian's gettin' sassy, first with Hazel and then with Margarita.

Former foster Amber (Ambercup, 2015) was all "Go ‘way, I don’t wanna move!" when Debra wanted to close up her sewing room. (Thanks, Debra!)

Matilda is potato-shaped, if you hadn't noticed.

Good night innernets. (Monty)

Benji says "Can't a guy be utterly adorable and sharpen his claws on the cat tree LIKE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO without you taking his ding dang picture all the time?!"

Monty was taking a bath, and Sebastian was taking notes. "So THAT's how you stay so clean!"
