Simon's new life

Simon's very happy in his new home!! Yea!! Simon's mom sends me regular updates via text messages, which I'm immensely thankful for! For those that don't remember, on Sept 22, Simon found his new home, which consists of mom and her 10 year old daughter and 7 year old son. Here's the official word:

After Simon's first night in his new home, I texted Simon's mom and asked how things went and where he slept overnight.

Sept 23:

Sleep? Haha! He played, sat in the window for the longest time. but when he was quiet, he did lay on the bench, and the rug in front of the mirror. He came up on the bed for head rubs and purrs. Not a lot of sleep happened for either of us last night.

Sept 24:

Great day and eve.  Set an appt for a week from Sat to meet his new vet, do an exam and get his last shot.  He is surely getting more comfortable!  Slept well last night and is just snuggling in tonight.  He LOVES the feather you bought for him....and the kids have become quite skilled at it too!  

Sept 29:

Simons new kitty condo!  He is in love!!

October 6:

Simon went to the vet Saturday for his booster.  He did great.  He is loving the sunny fall!  His favorite thing is laying on the hardwood floors with the sun beaming through the slider.   Spencer said tonight....there couldn't have been a better addition to our family!

His favorite place!

Uncle!

I let the kittens free in the house for a time. Oh boy!! Instant crazy!

The big boys had a good time playing with the tiny ones!

Willow's not impressed

Willow watches the madness from a safe place

Nahum, in his happy place

I am Mufasa!

Theo became quite the fun uncle! That really surprised me, I figured Nahum would be the one to romp and be silly with the kittens. Nahum did play but Theo really let his inner-kitten out and went silly with them.

Watching kittens run all over is got to be one of the funnest things ever. They don't quite have the running thing figured out, it's more of a hopping motion with their backend going way in the air! Too much power in those back legs, not enough weight. I haven't laughed that much in ages - such a delight! 

I think we'll be getting two of the brown tabbies back soon from their temporary foster home. Soon we'll have five! Then in another week, Diva will return and all six will be reunited! The crazy is just beginning...

more play!

Having started the week with gratuitous kitten pictures, it's only fitting that I close the week with more of the same.

Willow! Where are your sweet motherly instincts?

Happy weekend!!

notch

The other day I noticed Pierre is sporting a new notch on his right ear.

He has his TNR eartip on his left ear.

I have no idea how he did this.

I've never seen him fight, he doesn't seem the type.

Oh how I wish I could take the ferals inside and keep them forever safe.

Benny

The other day when I had Simon over to the vet to get checked out, my vet introduced me to Benny. He's a 1½ year old sweet boy who is in need of a home. He came to the vet with a blocked urinary tract and the owner was not able to afford treatment nor the necessary follow-up care and so wanted him put down. With Benny being young and affectionate the vet couldn't do it. Instead she fixed him up and now he's in need of a new home, with someone who'll be able to provide him a special diet for the rest of his life to try to prevent future blockages.

I offered to help find him a new home.

Benny's fur is super soft! About as soft as Willow's!

I took him home for the day to get to know him better. He's somewhat shy and very affectionate. He spent most of his time scared but for one moment he relaxed and played a little. He loves having his head rubbed and is very sweet.

please consider taking me home with you
