July 24, 2021 Day 16 Yesterday – I did not write anything then – was a fairly quiet day. Wim was successful in refreshing food and litterbox without issues and Mitsy was friendly. We had some nice kitten presentations and also decided to attach the Heimlife camera to the Basement side door. It already gave … Read moreWho need humans?

July 24, 2021 Day 15 We see the funniest things on the webcam, that you would never see when present ‘in the flesh’. So happy I found a way to attach the cameras to Basecamp and Nest using some creative solutions such as Velcro and food clamps. It is awesome. As a for instance: Mitsy … Read moreFunny footage

July 22, 2021 Day 14 I just went downstairs after I saw on the webcam that Mitsy had finally retired to the Nest. Wanted to get that stinky litter box out. Mitsy seems more protective right now. The kittens are still OK, they are oblivious. Have not been able to touch one again. They do … Read moreA Daddy visit…

July 21, 2021 Day 13 I am tired. Today Mitsy was not in the best of moods. It happens. She had a lot to endure too. I wanted to exchange the foldable table that is under the second crate we prepared, but have not opened yet. I wanted our wooden kitchen table underneath instead. It is … Read moreA difficult day

Day 12 July 20, 2021 This morning was Wim’s first time feeding with the front door open. It was easy and he said that Mitsy stayed in the Nest, did not hiss and looked quite friendly. Of course she is always on alert when we come, but food is her primary motivator to let us … Read moreI touched some of the kittens!

July 19, 2021 Day 10 Today Mitsy was not in the mood to show us her kittens. I think she was a bit tired of it all. She hissed at both of us, from the Nest, when we came to see to her food. I saw the litter box was dirty and wanted to exchange … Read moreA grumpy day

July 18, 2021 Day 10 Have not written the past few days. The nursery family is doing great. We have all been doing our routines. I try to work on Mitsy’s socialisation. And here is the great news: the kittens are starting to open their eyes and their ears are starting to unfold. Mitsy has … Read moreMitsy lets me meet the kittens…

July 14, 2021 Day 6! Happy birthday to my mother, who is turning 86 today! Mitsy feeds the brood either in full or in batches, 2-4. She eats 2-5 times per day, 2 times at night, once in the morning and the evening and a snack in between when I bring her one. Sometimes I … Read moreWe are all developing a rhythm!

July 13, 2021 Day 5 Today was a busy day. Right after breakfast I decide to start setting up the second crate. I am pretty nervous about this whole operation. One hiss can set me back and push me into hopelessness, while a responding blink by Mitsy and an easy food/litter refresh pushes me right … Read morePreparing the crate extension

July 12, 2021 Day 4 and the family is doing well and all things are quiet, except when we try to refresh the litterbox… Wim gives it a try in the early AM but gets hissed at and semi-charged and decides not to go through with it. Later, as I get up, we go downstairs … Read moreLitterbox annoyances
