in the home stretch!

I have to tell you.... the landscape is changing every week in my home as these kittens get bigger, stronger, braver and more curious about the world around them. Places where I previously enjoyed time alone (read: the bathroom) are now taken over by roaming kittens, and I rarely have a moment to myself anymore. Having a bath at night now means I am playing with Keyser or Joewii on the floor beside the tub (that's Joewii with his tongue stuck out in the above pic!); they are not yet big enough to jump up on the edge of the tub and I'm not exactly encouraging them.... ever have a cat land in a tub with you? I have, and trust me, it's not pleasant.

As I figured would eventually happen, the boys have finally discovered the joy of the 6 foot tall kitty condo I have in the corner of my home, by the window. This is good for all of us, as it gives them someplace else to scratch OTHER than my couch and keeps them very busy. However, mama Blossom finds it a bit unnerving that her babies are up so high, and when they get wrestling it makes her nervous. She watches carefully and when she gets too stressed out for their safety she calls them down. It's very sweet to watch her keeping an eye on them.

Before we head into the videos and pics for this post I need to send a shout out to my fabulous friend in Texas, Kelli, for her amazing donation towards the kittens and Blossom; I have put this money towards everything from food, eye drops and litter to funds towards getting Blossom fixed so she can move on to her next home with Lynda. I'd also like to thank Laureen and Mrs. Wren who are constantly donating food and toys, your thoughtfulness doesn't go unnoticed! Anyone else who wishes to give a donation may click the button below.... even the smallest of donations are appreciated.

Alright, on to the pictures and videos! Remember to click on the pictures to see larger, more detailed versions..... enjoy!
