Foster Kitten Friday

Hello from the Wild West Gang! Well, we're down to three. This was the week Wild Bill headed off to find his forever home. It's always a sad day when one of the little foster kitties leaves your home. You've fed them, cleaned up after them, played with them, and loved them. For two months Wild Bill has been part of our family and, while we're sad to see the sweetie go, we're excited for him and his new family.

Saying their goodbyes

Just us now

It's always interesting how the dynamics change when one of the siblings takes off. Calamity Jane has now become the instigator. In the last few days she's been in the kitchen sink, made her way onto the dining room table to try and eat sunflower seeds, licked bacon grease off the pan next to the stove, and tried to figure out how a toilet worked.

Annie Oakley has turned into Wyatt Earp's bodyguard. Plays with him, tries to take his prosthesis off (check out his video to see her in action), and moves her body out of the way so he can have a spot to eat at the breakfast plate. And loves him and makes sure he takes good pictures.

Actually, the love has been pretty free flowing from everyone this week. They've been good to Wyatt Earp, and boy has he needed it.

Foster Kitten Friday - The New Year's Edition

Happy New Year from the Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild West Gang!

It's a new year and everyone is taking on a new role.

Annie Oakley is the thief, stealing a kitty blanket away from me...

and dragging it across the room.

Scratch that. Wild Bill is the thief, taking the tape measure when I was trying to remeasure Wyatt Earp's legs.

Now I remember...Annie Oakley is the jumper. Straight from the floor to the counter-top height table in one swift move. (And barely captured by my camera.)

No, wait a minute. Calamity Jane is the one who is the jumper.

Feet in the air in this picture.

And Wyatt? Well, he's the three legged cat who takes over my keyboard...

and the back of my recliner any chance he gets.
