Ramón/Romana Clover and Ernest Plunkett Update!

Bernadette was a repeat customer. She adopted Ramon (previously known as Ramona and currently known as Hugo) first, then six months later, adopted his buddy/brother Ernest (now Walter).  She sent us a sweet update for us today:



Hugo (Ramon), now 2.5 years old, is the cuddly lap cat that I've always wanted! Whether on the couch or at bedtime, I can always count on Hugo for snuggle time. He also likes to help me pick out my outfit each morning and insists that I pick him up when standing in front of my closet when deciding what to wear for the day.

Walter (Ernest), soon to be 2 years old, is my elusive runner. He likes to cuddle with us, but only after we've showered. He tries to escape to the outside world by darting out the door when we come home and then only goes so far before immediately turning around and running back into the house towards safety. He still really loves his orange pom pom balls from his IBKC days and we find them in the water or food dish. When Walter does decide to let us hold him, he is a purring machine complete with plenty of air biscuits!

Getting a second kitten to keep Hugo company was one of the best decisions I have made! Hugo and Walter play together, snuggle together, and groom each other. They look and act like brothers and get along so well. The two of them sit next to each other at the front window, waiting for us when we get home.

I'm so in love with my fur babies! They are the sweetest cats ever. I personally think they have such great temperaments because they started their lives at IBKC!

I had forgotten about Ernest/Walter's obsession with the orange puffs!  There's a fun post on the subject HERE.

Thank you so much for sharing this update, Bernadette! I'm so glad the boys became such great buddies. Enjoy those sweet peas of yours and tell them we love them!

More to come, folks!

First Picked, Last to Leave

Do you remember Ramona/ Ramón Clover? Well, he has a new baby brother and his name is Ernest Plunkett.

I promised Bernadette, his mama, pick of the Plunkett litter and when she came to visit these dear kittens it was Ernest who caught her eye. He was full of energy that day, just like every other day,  and put on quite a show for her.  She was looking for a playful kitten to help entertain Ramón, and Ernest certainly fit the bill.  His snuggling skills and strong motor helped cinch the deal!  

Bernadette had a little traveling to do before she could bring home her Ernest, so his stay was a little longer and we had him here several days after his sisters left. He really made himself part of our family and we enjoyed his last few days with us immensely.








He was allowed to come upstairs and hang out in Charlene and Wylla's world and the girls loved sharing their space with him. They all ran wild and played together. He scaled their cat tower and wrestled with their catnip bananas.  We even let him sleep in the bed with us, which is something we rarely ever allow kittens to do, but we didn't want the little guy to be alone, so he joined us. It was a little crowded, but he found a spot on my pillow and slept there most of the nights.

Bernadette came on Monday to pick up Ernest.  Of course we before he left we gathered up all of his orange pompons and packed them in a bag.



We were all a little sad to see him go, but it was hardest on Wylla when he left. She kept looking for her little friend and over the next few days you could see she was restless and a little mopey, which is not how she usually behaves after a batch leaves.

She's fine now. We had some holiday houseguests and I put up the Christmas decorations, so things have been pretty interesting around here, so she's been pretty entertained.



Though we miss him, we couldn't possibly be happier for Ernest Plunkett.

You landed yourself a great home, dear boy!  Please say hello to Ramón  I know you two are going to be so happy together!

A Big Bunch of Clovers

Here's a big batch of Clover photos that didn't find their way into a post while they were still under our roof.

I had forgotten how tiny they once were!
