August 9, 2021 It is my birthday and Mitsy is not in a good mood since breakfast. When I go downstairs later ‘to say hi’, I first give Mitsy a treat with the extendible spoon. She is resting on the clean litter box and something in her eyes makes me think she wants to be … Read moreHappy birthday to me!
August 8, 2021 I have not written for awhile: things were very busy, but in a good way. We have made some nice break-throughs. Lots of touching and lifting and handling the kittens, with complete approval of Mitsy. Playing with Mitsy has now become a routine on most days. It depends on how busy the … Read morePlans for the future
August 6, 2021 Wim got caught out this morning. The whole family was in the Ensuite when he needed to get in for food and cleaning. Mitsy seemed to be in good place, so he did her food first. Then waiting until she was done, did the water from the other end, and then waited … Read moreWim got the paw…
August 5, 2021 Last worm treatment today. We actually started the second round on Monday but we are not sure she got it in, so we extended by one day. We will have to bring in another stool sample in 3 weeks.

It ends up being a very nice opportunity to fondle the kittens and lift … Read moreMitsy engages in play for the first time!
August 3, 2021 According to Wim the morning was ordinary and quiet. He refreshed both litter boxes: one had poop, the other was very soiled in the bottom, probably pee. Which is good. So two clean boxes are ready for the day. Yay! The inmates were ruling the asylum again earlier this morning: one kitten … Read moreClimbing the nest
August 2, 2021 What starts out as a quiet day and leave Mitsy alone for a bit… turns out to be a roller coaster in the evening. The kittens are incredibly active! I think this means they are now starting to focus and see all sorts of things. Which resulted in several of them climbing … Read moreRollercoaster of activity!
August 1, 2021 Had a fun morning with the ‘Brady Bunch’ – kittens were very playful and mom was in a good mood. In the evening they had another playful spell, so I went downstairs and was able to take two of them in my hands, lift them up and give them a kissy cuddle. … Read moreA fun morning
