Get a Load of These Ladies!!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeee! Look!!! It's Georgette and Miranda!! Thanks goes to their Pa, Mike, for sharing the pic. They turned into such lovely, lovely ladies, didn't they? Mike says "they are the best cats ever". I bet they are. They were pretty spectacular kittens.

Hello, Beautifuls!

Hey look, everyone! It's Miranda and Georgette! What a treat it is to see them again! They're growing into such elegant little ladies. I love how cuddly and close they look.

Craig works with their dad, so I get the occasional kitty report from him. It sounds like they are doing quite well, getting along fine with the family dog,, but still haven't completely won over their big brother cat.


No news on the kitten front. It's been over a month, maybe even five weeks since there have been kittens at the Humane Society. Surely it will be any day now. It's so strange that it's been so long.

And as I've said a million times before... it's a very good thing.

Yep, They're All Gone

This weekend we said goodbye to the last of The LaBaths. Enid and Hester Sue's Mom braved the winter weather to pick up her kitties on Saturday morning.

They had been bouncing lightly about the house when Mama Karen arrived. She put their carrier on the floor, opened up the doors and both girls (and Charlene) quietly explored it while we did all of the adoption paper work. I packed up the last of their belongings, we said our good-byes, the kittens put on their mittens, and off they went.

We certainly enjoyed our last days with these girls. We usually don't keep the kittens so long. It was fun to watch them mature a bit more and see the hair grow back in on their once-shaved little bellies.

It was a true delight knowing all of the LaBath girls. They were an exceptional little litter, I can't imagine a sweeter bunch. We will miss them dearly.


We're taking a kitten break while we finish up with the holiday season. We've got our tree up now, and I don't want to spend the next few weeks fishing kittens out of it. Also, it's a hectic time for me with work, and I don't feel I have time or focus that kittens demand.

I've still got lots of LaBath pics left so share,, so I'll continue to post those (probably not everyday) until we get a fresh batch.

If you need more of a kitten fix, you can visit Enid and Hester's blog.
And don''t forget, there are lots of other IBKC Alumni blogs,, (scroll down the page a bit,,, they're all listed right hand side)

Kittens Gotta Climb

We don't have any of those giant carpeted cat trees in our home. We should, I know kittens love them, they just don't seem to work with our decor.

As much as I try to the discourage the kittens' urge to go vertical, I can't.

I made this tree for an art installation a couple years back. The kittens discovered it the other day, and since then, they've been completely obsessed with climbing it.

I did have to move the tree out of harm's way, and into the a closet. It was fairly sturdy at first, but with every climb to the top, it was weakened. It was only a matter a time before it toppled over, or they completely destroyed it.

Even though they were driving me crazy with their tree obsession,, I have to admit, it's kind of fun picking black and white polka-dot kittens from a hot pink tree. They just looked so good in it

Gorgeous, Graceful, Glamorous Georgette

She looks just like a little movie starlet.

Kitty Profile: Georgette LaBath

Name: Georgette LaBath
Nickname: Georgie Girl
Describe yourself in 20 words or less: I am warm, affectionate, and a little bit nosey. I just need to know what's going on.
What are your hobbies? I love, love, love to gallop about the house. I also like to pounce and puff.
Favorite toy: I enjoy a good mylar ball from time to time, but I think my very most favorite toy is a red pipe cleaner. I like to carry it around and park it by my food bowl while I snack.
Dislikes: I don't like being alone. None of us do.
Dream-home: I would enjoy a big open house with lots of room for me and one of my sisters to run. Lots of squishy sofas and warm laps are good too.
An interesting fact about me: I love giving kisses. I'll lick you as long as you let me and I'll purr while I'm doing it.
Minor Imperfection: I don't think I have one. I am perfect. And my little beauty mark above my lip makes me perfection plus, if that's possible.
Why should you adopt me? I am that missing puzzle piece in your life. You need me. And one of my sisters too. I will bring you more joy than you ever could imagine.

Minus Two, Today

Miranda and Georgette are spending the day at the HS. Yep, it's time for them to get their itty bitty bits removed.

You don't really notice how noisy four kittens are, until you only have two kittens.

I'll be thinking about them all day long and look forward to picking them up this afternoon.
