The big weigh-in

It's official.  The whole gang is scheduled for surgry a week from Monday.  Elvis was top of the weight chain at just over two pounds.  The other two beebees were each one pound 15 ounces, so only one ounce away.  That means they have a week to put on another ounce (and the way these guys eat, that won't be a problem!).  Mama was on her best behavior, and had put on some much needed weight herself."I weigh HOW much??"

So, in honor of their surgery date, I present you with the video
"Solar-Powered Feisty Kittens"!



Growing like weeds!

Wow...I'm not sure what the city is adding to the water, but these little kitties are growing so fast!  Elvis, the biggest of the bunch hit the 2lb mark today, and the other two are just a few ounces behind!  They have their two-week check up on Saturday, so we may be discussing surgery dates already. 

I'm, of course, happy they are doing so well considering they didn't seem to be eating much the first few days. But it's still kinda sad that I'll have these buggers such a short time.

In honor of their weight milestone, I will reward you all with a video of Ella playing with her favorite toy. 

They have names!!

After much deliberation, and a quick phone call to my mom, we have decided on names!

First, I am pleased to introduce to you mama, Aretha!

She's a pretty little tabby girl, and a petite little thing too.  She definitely knows what she wants and doesn't mind letting you know!

Next is little Bo Diddley.  Weighing in at 1lb 5 oz, he's a sweet little boy who loves to cuddle and eat salmon flavored food.

This sweet little girl is Ella.  Quiet and reserved, but also just a bit nuts.  She loves straws and toys that rattle.

And last, but certianly not least, the biggest of the group is Elvis!  Cool and confident, but good luck getting him to hold still unless he's sleeping!

So there, you have it folks.   Three little beebies all on a blanket :)

Bye bye, Floofie-pies!

Mama, where are we going?

"To the shelter, sweet little Dee Dee"

Why do we have to go back there?

"Because we have to get you fixed up and ready for your new home"

Can't we just stay with you?

"I wish...but I would have hundreds of cats if I kept every one I wanted to, so I have to let you go so you can find your new forever home, just like your mom did"

Will it hurt?

"No, silly.  They are going to take good care of you"

The tweedle's are all set for surgery and will be available for adoption starting Tuesday August 9th!
