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.

A Tressa and Neville Update

A couple weeks back I bumped into Tressa and Neville's pa, Galen and his girlfriend, Emily. It was great to see them both and hear about how well Tressa and Neville are doing.

They are the TOTAL loves of his life, and he's so happy he adopted the pair. Then proud papa pulled out his phone, and showed me a sweet picture of the kittens.

Later that day, Emily was kind enough to send me a few pictures of the pair. They are just such lovely cats. I love how Neville's once-tiny spot of orange on his nose has turned into a giant patch on his face. Tressa is such a beauty now. Her coat is just phenomenal.

It's so good to see them both again. Thanks Galen and Emily. You've made me (and I'm sure blog-land too) very happy! Give those kitties some love from all of us!

And thanks to all those who got us over the FIVE squillion mark! It's so, so, so, amazing. We are ROCKING it!

Lots of Love

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought I would share a few of my favorite lovey-dovey kitten moments from the IBKC archives.

First up, this sweet little moment with Tressa and Neville Loy. Sigh.

Nice to See You Again!!



A huge thanks to Emily for sending the pic and update! It's so nice to "see" Tressa and Neville again!


It's clear these two are so happy to be together! I love how Tressa's got her arms on her brother's shoulders.

It sounds as though Miss Tressa was a bit of a shy little girl at first, but now she's totally warmed up and has become a COMPLETE sweetheart!

Neville adjusted a little faster, and now has transformed into a little troublemaker. He loves to pounce on unsuspecting sleeping feet. (I seem to recall Harlan and Nelson's Pa reporting similar bad habits,,,it must be genetic) When he's not too busy, he loves getting a little love.

He still likes to ride on shoulders. He'll wait on the couch or bed. When you come close, he'll paw the ground and look up at you, then climb up your body and perch on your shoulders.

Thanks again, Emily. It's always nice to catch up with the kittens!!

Nearly the Last of the Lovejoys

I'll be traveling back home today. I won't make it back before the Humane Society closes, but first thing tomorrow, I'll be knocking on their door. It doesn't sound like there will be any sort of wait for kittens. Lately, they've been quite plentiful.

I've still got a few more picture of the Lovejoys to share with you. So, even after the new babies arrive, I'll keep posting until I'm all done.

Hopefully this time tomorrow there will be some new babies to meet!

Tressa: Day 1

DSC_0480

Here's a picture of dear little Tressa from the day the moved in. The kittens were exactly 8 weeks old, which means their birthday is Valentine's Day. I didn't do the math until after they were named 'Lovejoy", but how appropriate it ended up being!
