Foster Kittens

Foster Kitten #4

I called this one Spike because that spot of orange hair makes me think of the Gremlin with hair. LOL

Spike has pretty stripes and a nubby tail. He or she swishes it around, and it's adorable. 😃

Foster Kitten #3

This is Orange. Or Tobi. I don't know. No one wants to let me name a cat Orange for some reason...

This one is missing a tail. It actually doesn't even have much of a nub. I feel like that's pretty odd. I've seen bob-tails before, but not like this.

Foster Kitten #2

This is the one I call Adrian. No idea of the gender. Will maybe find out tomorrow. LOL This kitten has a tail unlike 2 of his / her siblings, but also very interesting markings.

Foster Kitten #1

I have not named this kitten. I don't even know the gender. It's the one that everyone wants, though. Gee, I wonder why.

Not really, but Adrian cat naps like a pro. 😛

Hang in there. It gets funny after the first minute. 🙂

(Foster babies after play time. One was SOOO sleepy!)

Just spent some time with the foster kittens.

Just spent some time with the foster kittens.  Still have no idea who's a boy and who's a girl.  I'll Google "kitten genitals" one day this week.  LOL

I got some cute photos and videos.  I'll get at least some of it posted tonight.  Stay tuned!  🙂

I came home from Munford with a box full of kittens.

I came home from Munford with a box full of kittens. I'll post better pics this week, but for now this is all you get. 😛

I will say that they are all beautifully unique. Orange has no tail. Spike (named for the Gremlin with hair) has an orange streak of hair on his head and a super short tail. Adrian (named for a shelter cat I loved) has a tail, but very interesting markings. Then the little Siamese looking baby I just call "Laurel's Kitten" because she has a thing for Siamese cats and would be an excellent home. I'm hoping my not-so-subtle naming will put some ideas in her head. LOL

They are probably 3-4 weeks old. Mama stopped nursing early, but thankfully not before they were old enough to figure out how to lap up liquid.

They are gonna be my foster babies. I haven't had a foster in a while and I've missed it.

FYI:  I am planning to start posting things for sale on the yard sale sites to clean out my garage and pay for their vetting. Keep an eye out for that and buy my junk if you can. 🙂

I have been play-bowed at by many dogs.

I have been play-bowed at by many dogs.  That is nothing new.  But today on the way to Munford a dog play-bowed to me.  IN MY CAR.  WHILE I WAS DRIVING TOWARD HIM.

Whattt?

I did my Literature!

I did my Literature!  Well, what of it I could do.  I had to write a post on the discussion board.  I am also supposed to respond to two peers... but none of them have written yet.  Get on it, classmates!

So now my big deal is History.  My brain is having a hard time remembering all the people and the things they did.  Our first test is Thursday and it's 130 questions... and I'm just like "...  ...  shit..."  🙁  It's the story of America and I'm enjoying hearing it, but committing these details to memory is not easy.  There are like, 20 or 30 people we're learning all at once.  😕

Anyway.  I think I'm gonna go clean my bathroom real quick.  Shaun is coming back.  Yay!  I will start working on history tomorrow.  My brain is tired and my body is, too.

Thankfully, I've gotten enough stuff done today that I don't feel frantic anymore.  I feel like I can think and concentrate, so that's amazing.  When my house is crazy and I feel behind (even if I'm not, but I'm not where I want to be), I start spiraling out into "can't concentrate" land.  I hate that place.

Today was ok!

Today was ok!  I'm not done with it yet, but so far, so good!  🙂

Shaun helped me repair some things around the house.  I spent a good chunk of time cleaning.  I also took a nap.  Got a surprise visit from my brother and his friend, so that was cool.  Too bad that was before I started cleaning (seriously, the house was NOT COOL), but it was good to see them.  🙂

Shadow's still with his friend, so Shaun and I have had the day pretty much to ourselves.  It's been a nice mix of doing things and also not doing things.  Since I took Methotrexate yesterday resting between accomplishing things has been necessary, but that's ok.  I'm currently about to do some homework, and then I'll either hang with my guy again or call it a night.  Who knows?

I'm also pretty excited.  Shaun usually gives me birthday presents early and this year doesn't seem to be an exception.  I don't usually want him to buy me expensive gifts, but he offered to buy a dishwasher for me and I told him that if he could find a good deal, then I'd be ok with it.  We'll start looking either tomorrow or sometime next week, I guess.

He's starting to wear me down.  After all these years of him trying to help me and get me nice things it's hard to keep saying "No."  But this would help my life so much.  With school and work and studying and animals - making time to wash dishes is just not happening like it should.  I'm opposed to using disposable dishes long term for the sake of the environment, so that doesn't work.  And I don't know - I guess I could make Shadow do the dishes, but I can't really stand the thought of anyone else washing them.  I am SUPER PICKY about what I eat and what I eat off of.  LOL  And it's not like he doesn't already do a lot around here.

Anyway.  No complaints so far today.  I did get a little sore, but some Ibuprofen helped that.  If I can knock out my literature assignments this evening, then I will be super psyched.  And with that - I'm off!

Later, friends.  I hope you all had a good day, as well!  ❤
