They’re doing it, again…Yin and Yang yesterday. This morning Miggy peered up as I took their picture.

Miggy does a little freelance snuggling when Audrey is otherwise engaged. Little monster is so busy that I have to catch him when his battery runs low to get a clear picture.

I love the Chinese Acrobat poses they get into while they are sleeping. They can’t be comfortable, can they? But sure are cute…

Which mom is Miggy’s mom? There were so many kittens that I don’t remember.

Polly and Ralph are doing great! Louisa and Victoria have a new home!
Louisa attacks Ralph at every chance and attacks Polly when she’s nice to Ralph. So, a friend of mine, who is a vet, asked if we had any extra barn kitties. After some thought, we decided to give her Victoria and Louisa. It wasn’t a plan, but it seemed right and the perfect home. We trapped them in the barn yesterday so she could come meet them. They loved her. So, she left with two new kitties. She’s going to check on Victoria’s stitches (we had trouble catching her) and give them boosters before getting them settled in her enclosed barn. It was the right decision for all. This morning, Ralph and Polly were rubbing against me and touching noses together. It was adorable.
So, we went from 5 cats when we got here, to 22 cats, and now back down to 5. Not how we would have liked it with two of them, but that’s where we are. Three indoor kitties and two outdoor kitties. Almost like a normal family, lol.

The new pictures are so cute! I keep using that word “cute”, but I don’t know what else to say other than “adorable”, which I’ve already used. Glad that Rocky is doing well.

Louisa is his mom. They have a similar meow.

Polly is so much calmer and friendlier now that it’s just her and Ralph.
I got an update on Louisa and Victoria. They’re doing great. Stitches were removed and they got their boosters. Polly is going in this week for hers.

Sorry to be late offering sympathy on your loss of Jacob & Tiger.
Also sorry to have missed Miggy’s triumphant return 
Do the words Meant To Be sound right?

Miggy with his favorite toy and a feral look. Little monster got it off the ‘fishing pole’ toy. He’s such a snuggle beast. He talks to us a lot about his food, wanting to play, snuggling, etc…. Sociable little guy.
And here he is sleeping half on me and half on our big floofy kitty, Rocky. Maddie the spaniel is nearby.

I honestly believe Miggy came “plain tabby” so he could stay with you.

So cute! All three of them. The two kitties look like a lapful.

We paid the adoption fee so Miggy’s neuter was paid for by the rescue. We just picked him up a few hours ago. It looks like they tried to spay him! He did have the other area shaved and (I assume) he was neutered, but what’s up with the abdominal stitches? He’s four months old, could he have had one testicle that didn’t descend? Or, since it’s a mass spay/neuter place, did they just screw up?

was an incision made in his abdomen?
a shelter I used to work at would put sutures in the mid-line of any gender animal they altered because then if they wound up back in the system as a stray later, you could just palpate the abdomen and feel the scar, and therefore know the animal was altered. the males just got a couple sutures to kind of pucker the skin with no incision.
I have to admit i always found the idea kind of weird, because if you could handle the animal enough to palpate its abdomen, surely you could look at the rear and see no testicles… but wasn’t my policy.

Years ago, Mystery actually did get cut open when he went in. The vet clinic (not the mass spay/neuter place but my own clinic) admitted this with great apologies in their report to me. The problem was that Mystery is 3/4 hair, and it’s black hair at that, and with all of that floof, mistakes were made. I thought he was a female and turned him in as such. Not only that, the vet missed the gender on general preop exam, the assistants missed the gender, etc. So he was shaved and opened up, and the vet didn’t realize until fishing around in there that the plumbing was wired differently. So then they stitched him back up, changed site, and neutered him. The vet kept saying he couldn’t believe he missed that, and I said, hey, we all did. That cat is a black floof cloud. It’s hard to see anything besides hair, anatomy included.
Here’s Mystery and Atticus for demonstration. These two cats are the same body size and weight. The difference is purely the coat.

I love floofy kitties. Poor Mystery! I suppose that how he got his name?
