I overlooked locking the door to my/Puddy's room from the outside, and Jimmy worked at the door until he got in. Puddy's food bowl was empty, and Jimmy was very happy with himself.
This is Gracie Jo, the semi-feral cat we are trying to coax indoors. Today's forecast was for a "wintry mix", lots of wind, etc. At lunch time, Gracie Jo ran pretty quickly to the back door (before I could take her food up to her heated area in the workshop), so it seemed like a good time to try whisking her inside. I got her into the laundry room without her biting or scratching me. Just about that time the wind picked up and the rain turned to sleet & I think Gracie Jo must have been okay with being inside for a little while.
Life continues to revolve around cats and lizards, with an occasional rat, roach, ant, and termite. Sigh.
Eyes are now fully open and they are walking awkwardly. Mama cat makes a constant disapproving rumbling sound while they explore outside the nest.
Waffle was the 2nd to be born, and is smaller than Luna, but more demanding to come out of the nest to play, so I suspect he'll be the first to escape independently.
Google says that kittens should open their eyes after one week. Either my kittens are broken, or google lies. My money is on the latter.
But the important part of this story is Waffle's adorable stubby tail with a possum-like hook on the end! So far Luna's tail looks normal in that kitten exclamation point kind of way.
Luna is shaped a bit like a gila monster. She seems to be the boss of the nest, which may or may not be directly linked to her superior bulk. She looks intimidating right?
Waffle and Luna in a rare still moment. But this is an appreciation post for this scraggly fern growing through a crack in the concrete. The way these kittens use this tiny jungle to hone their sneaking skills it won't survive much longer.
Sunny's diet consists of high grade dry kibble, some canned tuna for cats and pieces of freeze dried duck cubes. I observe his overall weight on a weekly basis.
The fact that Sunny comes for food at least twice a day is in an indication is that he is indeed homeless and relies on whatever food the neighborhood community is willing to give him.
I usually place his food bowl on an elevated spot so that he feels safe while eating, in case Joey ambushes him from behind. Not only that, ants can't get to the food bowl either.
Introducing Luna (with dark patches) and Waffle (with white body).
Thanks to niece Elsa for naming the babies.
