My Cats and Kittens

Tonight what’s happening is that the folds are doing their zoomies and for the first time the savannahs are looking to join but the savannahs are just over two pounds each and the folds are six pounds a piece so the little cheetahs are not sure they have the heft to take on the little polar bears so they are only watching perched on the edge of a sofa

Don’t have the Hollywood equipment to properly film this at night though too bad

Picture two little cheetahs perched like looking down at the plains of the Serengeti at two polar bears

Yes I know the North Pole is some distance from the Serengeti

Well the little cheetahs chickened out
They know the little sumo bears are beyond their ability to bear so to speak

And strangely Poy and Bunny seems to have gotten the message that the savannahs are staying with us while the Folds are visiting so the two of them are nicer to the little savannahs

Poy even lets the savannahs on his exclusive cat bed often but I don’t see the folds on it

And Bunny still hisses at the folds but now nose to nose with the little cheetahs regularly

Probably cuz they have had three weeks together already while the folds have been here only days

After zoomies comes cat nap time
Hope they sleep through the night

Poy sounds lovely. Looking forwards to photos of them all cuddled up when it gets colder.

And of course after I turn off all the lights
All four kittens are now doing zoomies together
All over the house and the savannahs are also on their cat wheel which makes an enormous racket

Perfect for after midnight

Thank goodness this house is pretty sound proof

Meantime Poy has gone off duty leaving the kittens to their own devices

He’s watched them all day and pretty much passed out now

My three adult cats before the kittens came had always slept when midnight rolls around until six am

Maybe this is purrgatory.

It’s where cats make life hell.

Nah they are heaps of fun when they are kittens all too soon they grow up

7 cats is too much to handle though

With kids you get 13 years before they become teenagers and not a child anymore

With cats you get about 13 months of kitten hood

You can’t wait to see what they are like when they get big then you miss when they were small :smiley_cat:

Tried to put Poy and Bunny in a room today to give them a day off from managing kittens and let Goldie manage but Poys incessant loud meows got him out

He wants to manage the kittens !!

Now he’s on the dining table in his usual perch watching the kittens zoom around

Happy in his new assignment. With an occasional show of the paw he’s keeping order

The Sheriff is on the job

Cuz the adults have to go to work

There are some cracks in his authority though as he lets the little girl kittens chase him too

The two little boy kittens had a great time here the last two weeks and made two little girl cat friends

What started out all growls and hisses became joint
Zoomies and a lot of chasing each other
It was a hoot to watch them

But

Two days ago the fuzzy ones went home and the house became very noticeably quieter

But seems the girl kitties miss their two new fuzzy friends

Yesterday though the girl kitties went to join the fuzzy little ones in their owners home

But will be making visits back here now and then

Now the house is really quiet and Ollie Poyay seems to be missing his little charges
He has nobody to watch and follow around the house now

He seems relaxed not having to watch the kitties 24/7 but he does seem to
miss them

Bunny seems relieved and Goldie is indifferent

I heard that when the girl kitties met up with the fuzzy bros there was a lot of excitement all around!

Those four are now at their owners home but Tammy is talking how Miura is her cat?

Here’s the two living room denizens back in their spot

Goodness it’s 130 am and I’m up still because I’m off tomorrow for Labor Day ….yay

But Poy is pacing around the living room meowing

They say cats miss their friends and will meow and search for them

He must be missing the kittens and is having a bit of PTSD

That or he had too much coffee, vicariously through me of course

Bunny and Goldie couldn’t give two hoots and are fast asleep in the bedroom with Tammy

My cats generally are asleep by midnight but get up at 530 to Six

The kittens? They are up all day and most of the night it seems

Well looks like the Savanah kitties are adjusting well at the Folds house. Here they are using Urus as a pillow

So now the truth surfaces !

I love (not really) how I am kept in the dark and fed BS when Tammy is on to something !!

In fact it was her idea to go for the Savannahs she paid for Miura and her bestie paid for Lady

I am told that they negotiated a HUGE discount as the cats were overstocked at the Cat House (ok it’s not THAT kind of Cat House)

Mind you these things go anywhere from 1k to 5k so it’s a guess what was actually paid

I’m not told because I’m not paying and since I’m not I don’t wanna know !

So it’s all BS about her besties mom not liking them etc

They were brought here first so I will come to like them which I have

But!!! Now they are being held hostage at the House of Folds as besties parents adore them

Haha

But we have joint custody so they will be here often

Ollie has been depressed but the kits don’t really miss him haha and don’t miss bunny or Goldie either

But Ollie has taken to wanting to go downstairs often
He just wants to go down and immediately wants to come back up

I’m guessing he’s looking for the kittens

Well tomorrow I’m taking the Savannahs to the vet for their second shot and then they will spend the afternoon here so Poy will be able to see them

But their joint owner wants them back same day as her parents want them there

I was thinking they could hang out with us a few days
Poy will be happy but they will be gone again

But maybe that’s good anyway for him to see them so he knows he will see them again

Whopper was a cat we could take on walks and on trips out of town

Poy we tried but he failed the test. We took him to Reno once and Monterey once and both times he refused to eat or drink and was not liking travel obviously

Tammy wants another travel cat and thinks Miura will like to go on trips being a savannah

Just went downstairs again and ran into the family of raccoons that live in a neighbor’s back yard so we hightailed it back upstairs

Whopper is dearly missed

Here he is in Monterey with us at the foot of the stairs to Louie Linguine ( one of Tammy’s fav restaurants on cannery row ) and on a walk around Quail Lodge on a rainy day

He was one of only two cats that often stayed there we are told and we only paid the pet fee once and never asked to pay again

Oh and the one time we stayed at the intercon Monterey right on cannery row the front desk manager had one like whopper so he removed the 100 dollar pet fee as well as three days resort fee AND upgraded us to a corner room with a partial ocean view!

Sometimes it pays to travel with a cute cat

Well the visit didn’t happen as I got the days mixed up. Their second vet visit for shots is another two weeks away

I’m starting to wonder about the Savannahs staying with us till they are big enough to separate……they are endearing themselves to the House of Folds owners

It could be that we may get Miura (maybe) when she and her sister grows up in a year

The joke could be on Tammy

Who knows ….hope we get the kits back for lots of visits

Since they have become attached to the folds maybe it will be all four kittens here for a few days and then all four back to the fold house
The whole gang or none !!

At least they live only mins away by car

Goodness will have to arrange another play date and bring the kittens back

Poy is pacing about meowing and checking the door multiple times and looking out the window downstairs

Guess he’s really missing the kittens He’s refusing to sleep although it’s getting close to bedtime

Poor guy

Yea, when I had to rehome Ninja and they refused to take the other cat, the other cat meowed like crazy. I think he missed the company. I think he was happier after Icon took him… He got to be a HUGE cat too.

As much as I love a golden retriever sized cat that I can hug and stuff, such a cat would be dangerous to humans…

Whopper was a big 22 pound Maine coon (or perhaps Norwegian Forest Cat) and he was awesome . Some people feared him

But he was a big sweetie he never bit anyone although he can punch

He punched me once in the face when I said something he didn’t like lol

Yea what a twist the big Tomcat Poy that I thought would be a danger to the kittens (seeing how he attacks his brother Goldie) turns out to be the one nicest to the kittens and actively looks after them

He really does miss them I’m asking Tammy to ask for two maybe all four kittens back for a couple days to cheer Ollie up

But not this week as I have a friend visiting for a week our some times cat sitter Joe

Kittens are always underfoot and when they are here you have to watch your steps all the steps you take and walk slowly like waking on the moon

I have inadvertently kicked the little Savannahs several times to the point Miura growls at me

cats have personalities and their favs
I heard that the two Savannahs are favoring Urus over Blanco and basically only hang out with Urus

I did observe that Blanco plays rough with the much smaller Savannah kittens

And I guess the kittens don’t appreciate that and hang with Urus who doesn’t do that

Tammy says we are getting the chittens tomorrow for how long I don’t know
Guess only the girls

Ollie will be happy
He’s not really that keen on the boys anyway
He only likes girl cats

Ollie must understand because he’s doing some zoomies himself

Guess the little girl cats will keep him active
