Settling in...

I'm getting used to having this little guy around.

However, I sometimes look down at him in disgust.

And he is undeterred...

We are all settling in, waiting for winter to end. Sun puddling during the day. Sleeping through the night. Life is good here. We are happy. 

Hope all of you readers are, too.

Purr & Paw,

-Stivali (and Pasqua). 

Loved. Treasured. Valued.

We kitties are loved.
Mamma feeds us and pets us and keeps us in a warm home when it is snowing outside and COLD.
We are blessed.

We both like this weird window chair.

 

Happy Valentine's Day, Dear Readers.

Here's the link to Stray Cat's old post about Valentine's Day. We did not know it would be our last with him when he wrote it.

This year, we are focusing on our FIRST Valentine's Day with little Pasqua. Just one of many firsts we will share this year.

Don't forget to hug your loved ones tightly! Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

This kitten is staying, and I don't understand why.

I thought this kitten was a temporary thing. I looked up the word foster and I did not think it included the possibility, the most-likely permanency of the plan. 

We are keeping a safe distance while napping.

I move away from him when it becomes too stressful.

He is cute, I will give you that. Mamma couldn't find him (inside the house, we are not permitted outdoors) one day this week, and she searched and searched. She heard a noise and began to follow it.  The little kitten decided to nap inside the empty garbage pail. Ummmm, so maybe he is not the smartest kitten. Or is he? It was empty after all. Weird kitty. 

Recently awoken from a garbage pail nap.

He also has realized the awesomeness of the cat tree.

So that is the week in photos here at our home. We are happy and enjoying our little life. ❤ 

Purr & Paw,

-Stivali.

Happy February!

Happy February, Readers.

There is still a kitten in our house. I don’t think he is going back to wherever he came from.

Witnessing first snow of his life.

Hearing a snow plow for the first time. 

He is 4.5 months old, with a lot of energy, and likes to play. He likes to eat my adult food, and that is fine with me, because I like to eat his kitten food. Ma has all about given up trying to separate our food respectively during feedings.

He also sleeps a lot, which is great because once he sleeps, I can nap, too. We nap often on the same furniture but not too close. I am not there yet. He wants to be next to me, but I need my space, so I move my nap place every time he gets too close. He seems to get the hint, in the moment, but forgets my imaginary border that exists around me every time it is nap time. Strange.

I nap here, on this side of mamma.

He naps there, on the opposite side of mamma. 

I still carry Topino Verdi to mamma twice a day, she has yet to capture it on video for us to share here. For the most part, the little kitten has an understanding that Verdi is mine. On the occasion, when Pasqua doesn’t remember, Pasqua receives a light swat of my paw for touching my beloved Verdi.

Co-existing is working for me. We both sleep in the same bed through the entire night (not cuddled next to one another, of course!).  We play, we nap, we eat, we sleep, we give mamma love, and she gives us her love.  That’s all any of us seem to need.

 Purr & Paw, 

-Stivali.
