The Top Ten!

Today we have the final installment of our fifty most popular IBKC posts.

Wylla kind of dominates our top ten. I suppose of all the kitten stories we've told, she's had one of the more interesting tales.  I think we all just got pretty invested in the girl, so her posts always got lots of comments, questions, and concerns.

And you'll see a lot of our sadder moments, too.  I was hoping they wouldn't all fall towards the top, but they did.  Even though they do stir up some tears, it's not a bad thing to read those again. It's good to see the nice, comforting words, and I like seeing our community coming together.

I had a great time revisiting some of these most memorable of our memories. I hope you enjoyed our top fifty, too!



#10 Queen of the Couch
This video of our bouncy little Bibi Winkler was a huge hit and it had many views and shares.  It bounced around the internet, too, and brought us lot of new fans.



 

#9  It's Official 
Three cheers for Wylla Stout! Here's the day she officially became "ours". We were all filled with joy that day! I still am!

#8 What's Up With Wylla
It was such a huge relief when we finally had a diagnosis for Wylla.  It wasn't the greatest diagnosis to hear, but her condition wasn't life-threatening,  and we were grateful when we learned that we could manage it.  Step one was teaching her to eat vertically. Thankfully, she took to that right away.

 Oh, and that wee belly of hers!!

#7 Oh, Christmas Tree

The reason why this video has some many views may be because of me! There's nothing I love more than Christmas and kittens and I'm sure I've watched it a squillion times.
 

#6  I'm calling sixth place a tie. The introduction of Tressa Lovejoy got two more comments than Wylla's introduction, but Wylla's got many more views and shares.   Both are ridiculously adorable kittens and worthy of their ranking!

OK, Are You Ready?

  The Floofiest Friday Ever!

 #5 What's Happened and What's to Come
I think this was the hardest post I've ever had to write. It was most definitely the hardest day in all these years of fostering. But we got through it, and everything worked out.

 #4 One Tear-Filled Tuesday
Oh, Jerry Lee. Seeing your little face sill makes my eyes well-up, and I know I'm not alone. This was a hard day for all who were following the IBKC at the time.

#3 Sadness, Hopefulness

Sad, indeed. His passing was so unexpected. We're so, so very thankful that his sisters survived.

#2 A Very Sad Day
We were lucky to have so many amazing years with our dear Little Drewey Junebug. When we said goodbye, you said some very lovely things.

#1 Wee Wylla Won Our Hearts
Our most popular post was one of the happiest days of my life -- the day we decided to keep our dear Wylla.  It's funny to think about what we thought we were getting ourselves into at the time. We were a little worried and we anticipated a life of challenges. Our path started off rocky, and it was hard and confusing to navigate at first, but a couple of years down the road, it all smoothed out and we ended up with our healthy girl.

Bibi Watching Bibi

You all are going to love this!!  Rachel, mom to Flip and Bibi Winkler, sent me this hilarious video of her kitties.   Here's what she had to say...

Recently, Daniel and I got gut a huge TV which Bibi is quite enamored with. We thought it would be amusing to show Bibi the video of her defending the couch from the IBKC website.

Attached is the video I took of Bibi watching Bibi...and Flip ruining the party! I thought this video captured their personalities perfectly and that you would enjoy seeing it and maybe sharing it with Bibi and Flip's adoring fans.

 

Now, Rachel, you realize you'll have to take a video of Bibi watching the video of Bibi watching the video.

To see the original video, visit this post.  And to see the best part of the clip in slow motion, visit here.


Thanks so much for sharing this awesome little movie, Rachel!  Please give those little trouble-makers some love from all of us!


PS: My goodness, they're huge!

Flip Finds a Home!

DSC_0107

 Daniel and Rachel came over to meet the Winklers, in hopes of finding the perfect kitten to bring into their home.    Leonard had already been spoken for, so they had to decide between Flip, Franklin, Bibi and Daphne.  We chatted and watched the kittens play, then I excused myself so they could discuss these four adorable options.     We had another couple coming after their meet and greet, so they had to make their decision that evening.

After  much debate, they decided Flip would be the one.

We said our goodbyes,  we had  meet-and-greet number two, couple number two decided on a pair, and Daniel and Rachel called back.

They had been discussing the kittens over dinner, and as excited as they were to be adopting Flip, they were sad to leave Bibi behind.   They called to see if Bibi might be available, and if she were, they thought maybe they needed two kittens and not just one.  

And she was, and so now she's theirs too!

We're thrilled how it all played out.    We always love sending them out in pairs and Bibi and Flip make a wonderful kitten couple.

I've gotten a few emails form Rachel, and it sounds like they are so happy with their decision.

Bibi's Somersault in Slow-Motion

Queen of the Couch

Even though Bibi Winkler is the tiniest of all the Tabbies, she rules the couch.  If just one of your paws touches a cushion, she considers it a challenge.   Big or small, she's take you on.

 

* Please note her awesome surprise somersault at 2:58

Little Love

Please say hello to Bibi Winkler.   She's the wee one in the Winkler family.

Bibi is a gentle and sweet little kitten.
