Kitten update:

They hissed at me today! Love this stage where teenies hiss oh so ferociously 🤣 at anything that doesn’t smell like their mom.

3.5 days old and now weighing in at 131-181 grams.

The kittens will be named after young adult detectives in books/comics/graphic novels.

Already know one will be Enola (Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes - read/listen if you haven’t yet…SO good) and one will be Ottoline (Chris Riddell’s Ottoline and the Yellow Cat which I’ve not yet read).

That leaves 5 names (one a boy & rest TBD)

Suggestions?

You guys?!?! I think we might meet #TheYADetectiveKittens tonight. Ms Trixie tipped over the soft bed & is on her back, hind legs up & periodically appears to clench/push. Purring (cats don’t just do that when happy but also when in pain & even when dying) and accepted a few pets.

Stay tuned.

Thinking of calling her “Trixie” (as in Trixie Belden)

She’s about 2 yo according to the shelter

She’s a social eater

She’s very vocal & VERY loud when she wants something

She’s friendly, until she’s not. Reminds me of affectionate but temperamental #SadieTheCat. I can work with this. Just means slowing WAY down to watch for signs she’s losing patience.
