9Lives Live Well & Prospurr(TM) wants you to take time to hang out and relax with your kitty!

This is a sponsored post by 9Lives® cat food but I only share information I think is relevant to my readers. This post is 100% my own content.

This past weekend was a whirlwind of activity for me. I have a friend coming to stay for a few days and there was a lot of cleaning and chores that needed to be done. I know I overly stressed over the whole thing, but I got caught up in making things perfect that I forgot that good is quite often good enough.

Fortunately my cats were there to remind me.

Momma, you are working too hard, come pat my belly, and give me a yummy treat or two?

You might want to get in a nice nap too

Or you could stop and chew smell the flowers

I like flowers

besides, she is coming to see me anyway, not how clean your floors are.

And of course, my cats were right. I didn't get everything I wanted to do done, but Amy isn't coming to see how clean my floors are, she is coming to snuggle my cats. While we have a few activities planned, one of those is to sit around and spoil my cats silly and stuff them with yummy things to eat.

Cats are good for reminding you what is really important, like taking the time to relax and hang out. And if you need additional inspiration, you can watch Morris The Cat from 9Lives Cat Food get laid back! Morris knows how to Live Well and Prospurr, and you can watch him show you how to live well in his new video.

Wordless Wednesday - My furry beach ball

A new toy for the kittens

The kittens had visitors this past weekend. Lion's mom and dad came up to visit with them, well and me, because they are just such fans of fluffies... and seriously, who can resist them?

Laurie brought the kittens a toy to play with. She had purchased it for her crew but it wasn't as big of a hit as they would have liked. well the kittens loved it... and all I needed to do was put the toy in front of a back drop and add kittens..

Post done! :)

Interestingly I have this toy in a box in my chest of cat toys and I haven't ever broken it out. I have a feeling I'm going to be getting it out and adding to the current toy and snaking it across the kitten room one day soon.

Um, Lady??

We are cats, we don't DO water.. 

The kittens are doing well. Katie was totally over being in Casa de Gato's Kitten Room and was spending a great deal of her day laying up against the door, and started making a play to get out of the room. I did what I could to engage her, but she didn't want to lay near me and be patted. I couldn't get her to lay on the sofa with me. She did show some interest in play, but as soon as she would start a kitten would come over and she basically acted like they were ruining her fun so she would go and lay in front of the door again.

So this past Friday I took the kittens in to the shelter for their first round of vaccines and we brought Katie back and she has gone onto the adoption floor.

Frasier is having a harder time than the others adjusting. I don't think he was as weaned as the others, and was depending on the calorie rich milk from his mom. He was feeling 'less than' on Saturday.  I weighed him and he weighed what he did on Friday, but something felt off. I had company on Sunday and it was mentioned he was feeling thinner than the others, so I weighed him again and found he had lost half an ounce. I picked up some goat milk and when I offered it to him he became nearly aggressive in his attempt to consume it, biting at the glass I was pouring it from. When I weighed him a couple of hours later he had regained that half ounce and a few more, so I'll be supplementing him and the others for a few days.

Kittens are starting to really like attention

Angelo is usually the first up on an available lap and he will even climb up to my shoulder/neck and snuggle right in..  Romeow isn't far behind but he is so insistent in his attention that getting a photo is hard.

Mimi wondered how to get over to the couch to get some of that attention going on. She didn't understand she wasn't actually trapped in jail.

She just has this perpetually weird face going on. Nothing freaked her out, she just has this face all the time.

Oh the things my husband has to put up with..

I bet you REALLY want to pat that belleh!
