Amber & the Welcome Wagon

The big news this weekend, aside from Kevin's birth, was kittens. Friends ventured uptown on the weekend A Experience (never a fun time) to meet Ginger & Pickles and to praise Woody & Tiggy for their tolerance.

I had promised non-stop kitten scampering, but, when CRD came up, they were out like little fuzzy lights. It seems they have a routine: 6 am to 11 am- scampering; 11 am to 5 pm- sleeping; 5 pm to 10 pm- scampering; 10 pm snuggling. Luckily, CRD enjoyed the cuddling and still got to do some smooshing like a potato pancake.


Later in the evening, just about when the nap was ending and scampering recommenced, Jimmy and Alisa came up. Oddly, although Ginger had been the most outgoing during CRD's visit, Pickles was the star of the show.


Alisa, although clearly infatuated with Pickles, was really kind and paid extra attention to the adults. I think it helped. This morning, Woody joined in a game of Mouse Hunt with the kittens... until Ginger decided W's tail was the prey and Woody decided he didn't want to be eaten and ran off-- but without hissing.


There are plenty more kitty pics here and then some fantastic ones taken by Jimmy, like the one of Alisa above, here. That should get you through the doldrums of a Monday.
