The kittens have discovered . . . .

                      . . . THE BATH TUB!!

It's their new favorite place to play.  Don't let Pru fool you
into thinking she's just watching - she dives in, too.

It's Hot!

If you're hot, just imagine how the fuzzy ones  feel!  We're doing our best to keep kitties cool in these dog days of summer. TIP: As a treat in the heat, add a big scoop of ice to your pets' water bowl.

Too hot to cuddle.

Clemetine finds the basket to her liking.

Loooooong lounging kittens.

Ahhhh . . .a breeze!

Rosie chills it in the kitchen window.

Up Close and Purrsonal

Get up close and purrsonal with lovely Mowry.

Black Beauties!

Molly, Bella, Mowry and Mungojerrie have lost their baby fuzz and now have these beautiful sleek and shiny coats. They love to be brushed, especially when they're just waking up.

Fourth of July

Kittens made their debut at the annual block party.

They weren't too sure about the big cage or the big outdoors, but they did fine.

These lovely girls from the neighborhood wanted kitties, but had to ask their moms.  We all know how that goes!

Mama No Mo'!

Dear Prudence had her surgery on Friday and she is doing very well thanks to the folks at Golden State Animal Care Center in Long Beach. My bank account is happy, too - about $55 for spay and vaccinations - WAY less than just about any private practice. Pru's spending her recovery days in the guest room in the company of little Bella, who is recuperating from a leg injury. Got wrasslin'?

Pru and Bella spooning. Mmmmm, pain meds . . . .

Bella feels well enough to play with a fuzzy, just not with her rowdy siblings.

And just in case anyone is wondering, she's called "Bella" because she is lovely and she used to be called Little Belly. Nothing to do with the upcoming Twilight release!

Video of Pru playing, pre-surgery.  I'm sure she'll be back to her playful self soon!
