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.

August 4, 2021 The start of the day with Wim was very rewarding. He had some trouble to get at the food because Mitsy was sitting so close to the feeding bowls, obviously hungry. He is not as familiar with her as I am so he keeps his distance when he feels unsure of the … Read moreChanging the Basecamp towels

August 4, 2021 The day again starts quietly today. But at the end of the morning the kittens wake up and go exploring. When I see 4 of them in the Ensuite, I decide to go and have a closer look. 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

July 31, 2021 The kittens are now all officially 3 weeks old! Yay! All eyes and ears are open, we see them licking and scratching themselves and many of them now know how to use their legs to walk with their belly off the ground. It is clear that Pumba and Kabiri, the two eldest … Read moreAdjustments to ‘the Ensuite’ continue

July 30, 2021 Day 22 This afternoon, on impulse, I held out my hand to Mitsy with a treat and… she ate it! After she had eaten the treat, she came back to my hand and tried to eat more and I felt her teeth, but it was not to bite me; it was more … Read moreMitsy ate a treat from my hand!

July 25, 2021 Day 17 I offered Mitsy a treat on my self-made extendible spoon and she accepted it! Did it twice – really nice to see she did not hiss. I had first dipped the spoon into cat nip, admittedly, but nevertheless: it is another first step. We woke up to a very quiet … Read moreAnother memorable moment today…

July 25, 2021 Day 17 We did it! We opened the second crate! We now have Basecamp, The Nest and… drum roll… the Ensuite! It all went incredibly smoothly, I have to say. Thank the Universe for that! Mitsy was in the Nest, watching it all, barely getting worried. She watched us open the front … Read moreWe did it: we opened the second crate! Meet ‘the Ensuite’
