Ruby Tuesday.

Ahhhh, peace and quiet and my own room back. Pay no attention to that Mancat staying in here with me. He thinks, incorrectly I might add, this is his room. He was merely saving it for my arrival almost a year ago. Wow, have I been here almost a year? Who knew such a place existed with fleecy blankets and ahhhh, such peace and quiet.

Most of the Niblets continue to put on weight at a nice healthy clip. The littlest Niblet, Viola, is watching her girlish figure and stayed the same yesterday as her Sunday weight. If she doesn’t add anything today, she’ll get a bottle treat. You can follow along with their daily weigh-ins here. Niblets are weighed every afternoon around 2-ish p.m. U.S. Pacific West Coast time and yes, sometimes you can catch us during the process here on the Cat Cam LIVE. We apologize the feed is not streaming so you’ll need to refresh your window every 60 seconds (oh, to have that kind of camera and bandwidth!).

Looks like our prediction of Russell reaching the one pound mark with Illy close on his heels may come true, maybe as soon as tomorrow!

Niblet Two-Week Photos.

In case you missed it, last Saturday we posted our second Dear Niblets letter and included a few videos so you can see what kind of cute overload we’re dealing with here on a daily basis. Really, it’s a wonder anything else gets done!

Heading into week three, the Niblets all had something to say about getting their passport/drivers license/mug shot individual photos taken.

Pretty Illy Niblet is beginning to show her beautiful Tortie colors. She sat still the longest for the camera making us believe she marks the event in her weekly calendar. In pen.

While sweet Viola Niblet wanted everyone to know she’s still the littlest but the cutest overall. “Mom! Tell them I’m a baby cheetah! They’ll believe you!”

Handsome Robbie Niblet says, “In all my eighteen days of living, I can assure you it’s rough being a kitten.”

“MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM!” Outgoing Russell Niblet is at that stage. You know the one we’re talking about.

Not photographed over the weekend was mama Erinn Zuzu who seemed very pleased with herself that she ‘missed out’ on flashy box time. She continues to be the very best mama ever and wishes everyone to know that she really, really loves her private suite.

Dear Niblets. Week Two.

Dear Niblets,

We can hardly believe how much you’ve grown in the past week. You greet us each morning with raised heads and almost focused deep blue eyes. You boys are still noisy and wiggly during your daily weigh-ins, you girls are just as quiet and calm.

Illy, you’ve got the biggest eyes of all the Niblets. We just knew your peepers would be beautiful when they finally opened, just like your sweet Tortie face.

Viola, congratulations on working extra this past week to get your weight up into the respectable range. Your siblings might always be bigger but you are definitely the sweetest.

Robbie, we look forward to you greeting us first every time we visit like the little Niblet Ambassador you’re turning into.

Russell, we can’t help but smile everytime we see you looking up at us. You are in good company with all the orange kitties here.

You’ve all graduated from being sleepy babies to curious, wandering Niblets. You are learning to play and bite and tussle just a bit. You’re almost out of your box, wanting to explore your cage and soon, you’ll become Niblets on the go and nothing much will stop you. This past week, you graduated to your own room where you can roam and play and learn how to be miniature cats. We can’t wait to see your bouncy, hopping, jumpy selves in full play mode. But for now and not to get too far ahead of ourselves, grow strong little Niblet sweethearts.

Kisses and lots of love,
Your human Mom & Dad
