Good news, bad news, and kittens update
The good news: Snowball came home this afternoon. It's not unusual
for her to disappear for weeks at a time, but never two days short of a full month. She's healthy, happy, and hungry. The bad news: Spooky did *not* come home today. He went out yesterday during a break in the rain - that surprised me because he never goes out when it's wet, in fact, he hadn't been out at all in the last few weeks. I posted back in March that he was getting old, and he's been deteriorating rapidly lately. I think he went outside to find a place to be alone to die in peace. I will be very surprised if he returns, but I hope he does. Now, the three red tabby kittens. They are growing up rapidly. They're a bit over ten weeks old now, and all but Sieglinde have fully colored eyes. They have gotten quieter, except that Siegfried appears headed toward being a noisy face licker type lap cat. Siegmund is the only one not purring loudly when petted. They get along well with all the adults except Snowball, who just met them a few hours ago. Since they have mastered the kitchen door cat flap into the mud room and are now using the adults' food, water, and litter, I have removed the bowls and pan I set up for them in the bathroom - I'll add kitten chow to the food pan until I run out. Speaking of Siegfried, he's also showing signs of being a very demanding computer room cat - he's walking all over my hands, meowing, and licking my fingers right now ... and purring loudly enough to be heard across the room. ... A bit of petting did not calm him down for more than a minute or so. That kitten is going to be a problem. Correction: he *is* a problem. The other two are just exploring the room between wrestling matches. They still do the zoomies on the bed and toe greeble attacks thing during the night. Yesterday, one of them stepped on the off button for the UPS that powers my satellite transciever/modem and router which took my server off line for a while. -- T.E.D. ) |
