Lover Boy

Henry is a lover (oh, how he purrs!!) but he's also an energetic boy who gets his kitten-spaz on something fierce! He chirps a lot and has a more delicate meow than Agnes.

He enjoys chewing on his sister (don't worry, she gives it right back to him)


He also likes to show inanimate objects that he's the king of the jungle.


All that tearing around makes a young man sleepy.


Here he is making sure we note his graceful side as he's winding down for the evening.


So handsome and sweet!

Pillow Princess

It's no secret that Agnes enjoys a good pillow.

Phase 1. Demure little princess.


Phase 2. Offering up the belly, having a wiggle and a stretch.


Phase 3. More stretching and making biscuits.


Phase 4. Silly monkey-cat


She's growing fast (just shy of 3 pounds now), but what you can't tell from these photos is how small she still is.

My adorable girl.

The Kids Say "Hi"

The kids say 'Hi' to you all.

We've had a busy couple of days and I haven't had time to offload the new pictures from my camera.

Our Pettibones are doing well, getting bigger and more adventurous everyday. I couldn't love or enjoy them more. Henry is testing out his jumping skills, so we've seen a lot of sideways hopping and pouncing. Agnes likes stalking and keeps an eye on her brother, often times laying in wait. Anytime I crinkle the mylar ball Henry will appear at my feet immediately, ready for some kitty soccer. Agnes loves sitting on the bottom shelf of the cart in the kitchen and pouncing on her brother, and of course, her pillow.

They are both very cuddley when they aren't tearing around and the purring comes easy and often.



They went to the vet for their checkup yesterday. Doc says they look really good, but sent us home with a dose of something to take care of a stomach parasite 'just in case'. They go back in a week and half for their booster shots. Agnes did better in the car this time and Henry was as cool as Fonzie. They made a good impression on everyone at the Clinic.



I had a moment in the exam room when I realized that I hadn't been in that room since the day Tibet passed away. Our vet, who I haven't seen in almost two years, remembered both Tibet and I by name, and said she was very happy to meet the new kiddos.

I had a glass of wine and little cry when I got home. Agnes came over and purred next me, Henry came over and chewed on my hand. I love these kitties, so very much.

Ian is working in Los Angeles until Thursday night, so it's just me with little ones. We're having a good time, but look forward to his return.

Settling In

It starts like this


Turns into this


Then ends up like this



I'm working from home this afternoon and there is a Baby Cat Battle Royale going on in the chair next to me. It will devolve from ear munching to ear grooming; they'll slow down and start the kitty squinting that turns into sleep, and then the little fuzzy dragons turn back into fuzzy little cherubs.

A Lovely, Lazy Sunday

It was a busy day. The kittens are very social and are making fast friends with the folks that have come over to meet them. I'm so proud!

Ian (my hubby) scooped them up when dad was leaving.

Look at those eyes!




Henry discovered the blinds while hanging out with me at my desk.


Agnes is a great toy mouser!


Agnes let me know that she preferred that I pet her, rather than take her picture.
