Dinosaurs don't eat Pizza, but cats do



We had a visitor his this weekend..

who's feet are these??
it must belong to this lady...
Some of you will get the original reference, some of you won't. Our visitor was my friend Robyn who runs the blog Love and Hisses, also used to run a blog called Dinosaurs Can't eat Pizza which is an absolute riot and I STRONGLY suggest you go when you have some time and start at the beginning.. the comments make the blog that little extra special so don't miss those.

It's me! Robyn!! In a cat shirt!

Robyn has roots in Maine and several years ago I commented that the next time she was in the area she should let me know and we could plan a meet up. Well friendships evolved and the planets aligned and we had plans to meet for a short time before her family get together on Saturday. She brought her mother with her, which was an extra treat.

I asked her if she wouldn't mind being this week's prop for kitten photos and she graciously agreed.

Frasier needs kissin
Every kitten loves a basket, and every person who sees it MUST pick it up.
Robyn, are you encouraging them to wrestle?
wrestle, wrestle, wrestle
Holly needs kissin
Frasier needs a cuddle
Holly apparently loves jewelry 
"must.. have.. " Holly
"I'm so gonna get that!!" Holly
Hey Lady.. 
Hi Mimi
Mimi received a snuggle
and then checked out the bed behind her
Mimi thinks Robyn is pretty
Robyn and Mimi
and yet another cuddle
Angelo is going wonky eyed from all the fun
and Frasier is down for the count.
It was an absolutely lovely visit that was WAY too short. (and apparently Robyn doesn't know how to be a good prop to show off the kittens, but that's okay as I think this was a far more interesting post.) I have a couple of other photos to share on Wednesday, as they make a good wordless post.

And as I said..

Jack wants to know if they aren't going to eat the pizza, if they might want to be his minions.

Another good photo of Twee



You know, it always thrills me when I am able to get a nice photo of Twee. She hates having her photo taken almost as much as I do, so I don't force photo shoots on her.  Sometimes I try to sneak one in, and most of the time it is a huge fail... I say this one was a success.

Angelo doesn't think Mimi should have any Minions,
she is hard enough to deal with now
My job here is done
Where are my Minions lady!?!?
The kittens are doing well.  Most of them are growing like weeds.

Frasier is going on a bit of a hunger strike, and I can't figure out why. When I returned Katie to the shelter all of the kittens were eating very well. When we had visitors he was feeling a little lighter for his size so we picked up some goat milk for him. He ate that very well and was feeling heavier. Then he started eating canned food again and that came back up. He went back to just the goat milk, but then that started coming back up too and he started losing weight again. I brought him and Romeow into work on Friday and when I got out I brought them to the shelter and had them check him out. He ate some AD for them, but only when it was offered on fingers. That night he ate some more, eating so voraciously the next morning that his brother put his paw on his head in an attempt to slow him down... I thought all was well, but come Saturday night he didn't eat... not even goat milk... I thought I was going to have to take him into the shelter again, but Sunday morning he ate well again. Once again I thought we were out of the woods because he was holding his weight, but Sunday night he was down an ounce and stopped eating again. He will eat if I force it into his mouth, and did lick a few pieces of food off my fingers, but he is acting like he is stuffed. He is active and playing and wrestling... in other words he isn't acting like he is sick, but he feels 'less than' his brothers.

Holly has come around to think I am okay, which is nice. She is still hesitant and unsure of things, but she is willing to give me the benefit of the doubt. Mimi thinks I am the best cat toy ever, and LOVES to play with my fingers if I wiggle them in front of her. She is very gentle and kind, biting every so slightly when she gets her mouth on me, and is very gentle with her claws.

They are all very kind with their claws which is nice. When I go down without socks on they attempt to 'take me down' by wrapping their paws around my legs, but they never use their claws.

The boys are all about two pounds and the girls are smaller, so they will be with me for a few more weeks.
