The last two girls are gone!
These two girls are going to continue to snuggle up in darling arrangements in their new home! The girls left July 13 for their new home in Henderson. I'm very sad to have a kitten-less house, and Posey, one of my 5 year old cats, is sorry to see her "minions" go. Our new puppy will miss them too, as will we, since they did a great job of wearing the zoominess out of him! Now my pet count is back down to . . . . 4 cats, 3 dogs, and 2 birds.

2 kittens left!!!!!!!!!
On Friday I made a new poster with these three girls on it. They are sweeties, and the girl in the middle was adopted on Sunday. Good luck in your new home, Lizzie!
Now I just need a home for sweet gray tabby girl, closest to the camera (and yes, they LOVE dogs!) . . . .
. . and this girl, original one I dubbed a tortoise shell, but have to change to torbie, as she is quite gray striped with orange splotches. These two girls really love each other and I find them in darling snuggling positions all over the house.
Yes, with the last two kittens, I have brought them inside, and they are loving it! They thought the garage was big after that shed, now they think my little house is a mansion.
On Thursday they will get their second shots.

Momma's still momma-ing
Momma still loves baby! (Honestly, though, he has something sticky on his head.)
New furnishings
We're about to go on a 6 day trip, so Eric took the back seats out of the van and covered them with a blanket. The kittens think the seats are GREAT! For either slumber or play, the kittens very much enjoy their new furniture.
The kittens often divide up , with this being 3 girls and 1 boy on one 'cushion' . . .
. . and 3 boys on the other.

Update: June 17
My garage is slowly emptying out. 7 kittens have gone to their new homes, and at least 3 more will be leaving on Saturday. The adopting families are sending me glowing reports of how well their kittens are doing and how friendly they are. Several of the kittens went to homes with dogs, other cats, a rat, and a two year old boy (probably the most frightening initially!), and all are getting along well with their new buddies.
Names that I know of: Biscuit (orange tabby boy) & Muffin (torby girl), Lola (orange tabby girl) & Snickers (torby girl), Betty (torby girl), and Nova (aka Magellan, head of the Gellies, gray tabby boy). The other orange tabby girl is waiting for a family member to come home from camp, but she is in her new home.
The girls were spayed on the 13th; they were almost as wild as the boys were when they came home. They all recovered well.
Only one kitten had any noticeable reaction to their vaccinations on the 9th; the boy I call "Silver Boy" (more light gray than the others) developed a limp and chills on Friday 13th; he had a low grade fever Saturday morning; and by Sunday he had fully recovered. He ate, drank, and played through it all, with long naps in between, and he did not require any other attention. In fact, I think he gained half a pound through it all!
We will probably have 3 girls left and possibly one boy.

Medical news
Momma Cat and the 5 remaining boys were spayed and neutered on Friday, June 6th. Everyone is recovering well, and they all have a short green line tattooed on their bellies to let anyone in the future know they have been spayed and neutered.
3 of the 14 have gone to their new homes. Two of the kittens were vaccinated on May 30 and had a very scary over-response of their immune systems, developing high fevers and painful joint inflammation. Their family took good care of them, and they are getting back to their hilarious antics.
I decided to go ahead and get everyone else vaccinated on my watch, so 10 days later (June 9) the remaining 11 kittens were vaccinated. I'll be keeping track of their temperatures (not much fun for me or the kittens) and be prepared to follow up with medication if necessary.
If all goes well this week, several kittens will be going to their new homes, and all of the remaining girls will be spayed. Most of the kittens are 2 lbs. or more; the littlest was 1.8 at the vet's office Monday, June 9.
