Surprise Babies!

Three batches of babies in one year?! Holy smokes!

I have to say…this batch of Dali’s was a bit of a surprise.

Well, ok, not like I didn’t know she was expecting…duh…but more that she was ready to have them this soon.

I thought I had a couple of weeks to think about it. In fact, I had the bedding in the laundry to make sure everything was perfect.

I did have the presence of mind to put a box in the closet so when Dali went exploring, she’d see it.

Which she did, thankfully. Five little babies in various stages of stripes and white. Sort of our M.O. over here.

Good job Dali!

Merry Christmas to us!!

Good Old Hobbes

Well this stately fellow is feeling a bit better these days.

A few weeks ago, he had a nasty run in with the bad side of life.  Imagine this big, old, friendly kitty trotting down the sidewalk when he comes up on a man standing on the side of the street.  He walks up to the guy and lets the man pet him.

Sounds innocent enough…right?

Sure, till the guy grabs him and throws him in his creepy dog-catcher pen and drives away with him!! I get a call after 2 days to find that my poor boy has been in cat jail for 48 hours!!! He’s chipped so they could have called me sooner–but they didn’t.

There had been no complaint filed. The guy just picked him up– because he could and tramatized my poor boy for two days.

When I got him back he hid in the basement till the next morning and growled and hissed at everyone for a week.

I’D like to growl at a few people right now. The nerve……..

Ok, now that THAT’s off my chest, I feel much better. But they better not do that again!!

I know the mayor.

They’ll be sorry.

I mean it.

More Copy Cats

Ok, this is getting a little more challenging…

but still…

so DANG fun!! I love sorting out all the patterns and personalities of the kitties with each one being so awesome and specific.

I’m starting to look at cats a lot more closely now.

They are all so unique and lovely, but my crochet brain is turning them all into YARN!!!

Occupational hazard, I suppose.

Apparently, I have one volunteer already!!

Ohhh Dali….
