I think I’m a fall cat. I like this time of year. Good autumn whiffies and occasional sunny days, falling leaves and pretty colors…

…but nothing prettier than me. With all my pretty colors going on, I’m like bringing fall inside!

A Big Happy Family Again.

We were thinking of giving Mom an extra day off since she just got back from a long weekend trip where she swears she didn’t see any kitties at all… but then we thought, why would we want to do that? Hi Mom! Hi Mom! Got our blog post ready for Monday yet? *hint hint*

So Mom cheesed out by deciding to post one of the Niblets’ Bloopers photos from last week (Really Mom? Last week??)

That rapscallion Russell Niblet. He dances to the beat of his own drum, we think… just like a future paw-some cat!

Foster Dad says that over the weekend, mama Erinn Zuzu and all the Niblets went in for their first V-E-T visit and that everyone did wonderfully. A bit of singing on the way there but beautiful silence on the way home. Everyone looks really good and all are healthy. Our favorite vet couldn’t say enough nice things about all the Niblets. Our babies are growing up!

Dear Niblets, Week Five

Dear Niblets,

Wow! What an awesome week you’ve had! We’re pretty sure mama Erinn Zuzu is happy you’ve got your own litter boxes and mostly, know how to use them. You know how to run, really run, and Robbie, we’re laughing with you when you run extra fast, not at you. Honest!

You love your new toys and playing king of the scratching post seems to be a favorite. Lord knows you’ll need that kind of skill out in the real world when you begin climbing the corporate ladder! And who couldn’t love the Time Tunnel of Crinkly Fun? Just remember, run through it, don’t eat it!

We’re still working on making that connection between ‘lapping formula/food from a bowl equals happy tummies.’ Viola and Robbie, you proved what you lack in tails, you make up for in smarts. You wasted no time at all learning about extra food. Viola in particular. You go, girl! Illy and Russell, we’re convinced your little lightbulbs will flick on sooner or later.

Niblets, you’re at the stage when socialization is important so you’ll be getting lots of visitors in the coming weeks (we hope!). So far, you’ve shown your relatively good manners and not bitten fingers or each other too badly. Your pants-climbing skills are exceptional. Gold stars all around! Can the window blinds be far behind? Let’s just do something to prevent that right away.

Grow strong, Niblets. We are so proud of you!

A million kisses and love,
your human Mom & Dad
