Dear Niblets, Week Six.

Dear Niblets,

Just when we think your weeks can’t get any better, you go over the top. You go, you scampering little Niblets! And scampering you are going! If science could somehow contain your energy output, you could light the world. Instead, you do that with the smiles you bring to us all.

This past week, each of you improved your litter box skills and though you graduated to a bigger box, you decided mama’s really big box with its high sides was just right for you. You also eat kibble side-by-side with mama from her big bowl because you are done being baby cats and think you’re big cats now. Especially you, Russell Niblet. We’re most impressed!

You had your very first V-E-T visit alongside your mama and came away with good bills of health and lots of new food samples. Boy, are you ever eating now! And with your improved weight gains, your energy levels are going through the roof! Which is good because all those toys need serious kitten attention!

And then, when playtime is over, you nap. Boy, do you ever nap! Well, most of you do. And Illy, where ever did you get this cute idea to purr yourself to sleep? We love this!

You all are so active and yet, when we enter the room, you stop whatever you’re doing – playing, tussling, napping, to come look for attention of your own. Would you ever tire of a million kisses a day? Because we’d never tire of giving them. Someday soon, each of you will become a part of another loving, caring family and we’ll make sure to tell them that to really thrive, you require lots and lots of kisses. We think they’ll understand why.

But until then, you’re your mama’s and ours.

All our kisses and love,
your human foster Mom & Dad

Apparently, it’s that comfy, cozy, sleepy time of year. At least, that’s what Quint tells us.

Lots of shelter/PetSmart adoption events happening this weekend. And perhaps some Niblet visits too. Or as Robbie Niblet says, Kitten Socialization Bootcamp has begun!

Our Dear Niblets, Week Six letter comes up tomorrow! What a great week last week was!

Much thanks to Mr. Colehaus, a.k.a. the Kitten Whisperer, all the Niblets are eating on their own multiple times a day. Go Niblets!

And yes, that’s a multi-sectioned Monsters Inc. tray they’re eating from, because while Mrs. Colehaus was gone over the weekend, some of the Niblets grew into little monsters.

Um, we not really fond of that look, Viola. More than not, we think it’s terribly unattractive.

Oh really? Well, I think it’s time we wee ones do what we want!
