Typical Friday

Typical night, typical morning, typical work day.

At home, Lady Jane managed to slip out when Ziva came in – and I had some time getting Ziva to realise her daughter had slipped out! I decided to experiment letting them all out, see how Ziva and Shadow supervise. Not as closely as I would like – they are not focusing on those running the furthest from home. As in: A kitten could get to the road without them realizing – not my idea of reliable. Not when there is a road they could get to. So I started collecting Mip Mips and taking them back inside – Lizzy being the last I could catch.

While Rose was visiting – sporting a cool new haircut – I inadvertently discovered a new game: Take a stick, run it along the carpet in a ¾ circle around myself. Mip Mips running a rat race first following the tip of the stick to the left, then racing back to the right. Over and over and over and over again. And then again and again and … you get the picture?

Rose found it endearing that Ziva showed her affection, coming to sit on her lap … until I realized Rose is sitting on Ziva’s chair. I got the Mip Mips running after their stick in the bedroom so Rose could sneak out. Always have to come up with some trick when the front door opens, sigh.

Now Ziva has joined her Mip Mips on the chair and is letting the twins nurse, while Shadow is looking after Lizzy and Mewthos, also letting them nurse. And they have ALL eaten – first Salmon wet cat food, then their mousse mixed with their Pro-Biotic. Twice. I guess they are growing a lot now, so they’re eating a lot, too.

Rose and I were discussing Mewthos – he has such a cute excited kitten waddle! We both think he will grow into quite a large cat, his paws are much larger than Lizzy’s. She’s more of a dainty, graceful cat. None of that cute waddle.

When I come home, only Ziva and Mewthos are happy to see me – they are around me, under my feet, wanting attention. The rest are just happy the door is open and they can play in the lounge! And maybe slip through the door to the great Outdoors!

Well, it’s been a typical day, hopefully I’ll have a typical night. Again.
