One Eye on the Future

Here's looking at YOU, kid, says Ray! Meanwhile, Rachel gets some MomKatt lovins while cuddling her KONG teaser. I think the y're having swimming lessons in my office when I'm no t there because water from their water bowl was ALL OVER the floor & the food/water dish mat this morning . Am also starting to think about possibly beginning to switch them over from kitten kibb le to adult kibble, probably Blue Buffalo W ilderness like my kids get downstairs. This Sunday, they'll have been with me exactly three months.  Har d to believe - time flies when you' r e playing with kittens. MomKatt Laura PS - Have caught Rachel removing books from the bottom shelves of my bookcases.  Think she is trying to learn to read, or does she only like looking at the pictures?  (The latest removal was The Great Mortality by John Ke lly.  Perhaps she has an interest in learning more about The Black Death?)      

Yesterday morning, I went upstairs to fee d Ray and Rachel their morning gooshy delight, only to find this: Thi s had not been on Ray on Sunday night when I scooped their boxes before be dtime but, of course, I slightly pan i c ked (plus this WOULD have to happen on a morning where I'd gotten up late for work anyway, so I was even more behind than usual).  Nothing for it but a trip to the spa (a/k/a Dr. Brigham's office). Have no fear, however, intrepid "Ray Fans"!  What actually happened to trigger this, we'll never know (WHY can't they spe ak English, for Bast's sake?!) but Dr. Brigham kept him all day and called me about 2 PM to say that he thoug ht it was more of Ray's stress -licking , that something - a sound he hadn't heard before, a n unfamiliar smell (Dad Katt's shoes?  LOL) or something - had caused him to start licking that spot on his left hin d leg.  And, when he did, since it's a n obsessive-compulsive act (like a ...

Miss Rachel sez she is thankful on this Thankful Thurs day for ALL the peeps out there who are putting her pretty face out in the Interwebz for all to see, admire and, hopefully, fall in love with.  She knows there is that special p urr-son out there looking for her, and with her beguiling looks and sweet, loving nature, she'll re ward that special hooman bean with o odles of love and hours of silly, hilarious play.  (Pic taken August 25, 2013 ) Ray Charles, meanwhil e, is thankful on this Thankful Thursday that he has, with the love and help of his f oster meowmy and a determination and heart bigger than the State of Texas, come from being a "touch me not" kitty to an "Ok I'll let you touch me sometimes, especially if food's involved , and I'll even purr and headbonk you if you're lucky" kitty!  (Pic taken Aug. 17, 2013) Yes - headbonks.  Seriously!  He stands at the end of my desk when I come into the office (the end of the desk...

He hopes everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend! As you can see, Rachel was busy subduing the KONG teaser.  She taught it a thing or two before she was done! Read the latest information on them on The Finding Home Tour page! Stay tuned!  We are going to find these darlings their proper home no matter what!

As p ro mised, some new pics of Ray Charles & Rache l, taken Sun., Aug. 25, 2013.  (Pay NO attention to the hooman behind the k ittens .  She is of no importance. ) Ray Charles:   Rachel: Can you get over HOW MUCH they've GROWN?! Me neither. MomKatt Laura

Um ... hi everybody! I'm Ray Charles, and Selina let me do today's blog entry to tell you all about another gain that I've made in my continuing quest to become more ... relaxed and social. See, MomKatt's been giving me th ese "calming treats" this week.  I get one per day at "Treat Time" that Rachel and I have every morning, and it's the first treat that I g et.  So far, Rachel's not nosed in on it and wanted to know what I'm getting that she is not so SHHHH!  Don't tell her. Anyway ... T he treats are a bit big, and fish-shaped, so MomKatt breaks it in half and it's like I'm getting TWO trea ts to start, not one.  MomKatt says it's "my appetizer". She started me on the treats Sunday morning, waiting to see what results they would produce once I got some of this medicine that's in the treats in my system.  (Medicine?   They don't ta ste like medicine!  E ven MomKatt says they smell re...

Hi Peeps! Mo mKatt and I just wanted to (a) apologize for not being around much lately and, more importantly, (b) s ay a great big THANK YOU to everyone who's "pawing it forward" about our foster kittens, Ray Charles and Rachel.  We're really hoping that the more press they get, the great er the chances will be that they will enchant some as -yet uns uspecting human into falling head over paws in love with them an d giving them the "forever home" they both so richly deserve. So .... THANK YOU!  I won't name any one here, because MomKatt's brain is n't the best on the "re tentive" angle, and I'm sure she'd end up accidentally leaving someone out, and we don't want any one upset.  However, you all know who you are and just know that we are so very grateful for all your efforts, contributions, help, assistance with blogging f o rmatting questions, etc. - ANYTHING that you have provided for their "Hope Chest" o...
