Adoption Tails: the Beatles kittens

 Starr and McCartney

 1 day: Starr and McCartney are totally delightful. Starr is shy but both are out playing, eating and using the litter tray. McCartney has his cuddle on already. He is on top of the owner's legs and blanket in the living room so he's super comfortable and making the most of the attention while Starr is watching from afar. Still trialing the names, Starr seems to stick but the owners aren't too sure about the boy yet.

1 week: Both Starr and McCartney are doing very well. The owners have decided to stick with McCartney! Starr is still a bit shy, but she is happy and playful. She has come for the odd late night cuddle when things are quiet and slept on the owner's son's bed, so they have high hopes that she is coming around. They are both still delightful. Starr and McCartney love to play together and wrestle. Very fun to watch! They both follow the owners around and like to be in the same room or nearby at all times.

 
1 month: Starr and McCartney spend a lot of time chasing each other for fun! They are lovely company for the owner and her family, having settled in perfectly.

Harrison and Lennon

 1 day: The two kittens have settled in beautifully even with a toddler who just wants cuddles constantly. They have both eaten very well at every meal and been drinking as needed, they have both used the litter tray (wee and poo). They were out playing with the owners yesterday evening and today, jumping about after their toys. They seemed to sleep well and enjoy cuddling the owners' laps already. They have changed their names as they didn't seem particularly attached, they are now called Harry (Harrison) and Nox (Lennon). Harry seems to chill more on a bed or blanket whereas his brother likes to be in the action. They started exploring the upstairs of the home this afternoon but have been able to retreat to "their" room as needed.

Harry/Nox

1 week: Harry and Nox have settled in beautifully. They rest most of the day but spend all afternoon and evening racing up and down the hall playing with the owners and each other. They have even moved into the bed at night, sleeping on top of the owners or jumping from spot to spot. They have started to sit with the toddler and are super tolerant of his cuddles. They are delightful. They are good eaters and super inquisitive.

Nox/Harry

1 month: Harry and Nox have most definitely moved in and made the owners' home their own. They spend most of the day speeding up and down the hall after each other, walking all over the owner's keyboard or napping in the sun. The owner is so glad to have them join her family. The cats are getting so big already!

1.5 month update: The owner is very glad they adopted Harry and Nox together. It has been such an easy transition. They are around each other a lot of the day and play well into the evening, zooming up and down the stairs and hallway. They cuddle every day and often Nox will sit on top of Harry. They are delightful.

The little tuft of white on the tummy of one is the distinguishing factor.

 

Specs and Cocos

 The only photo I took today was of these glasses.

Joy did an extra shift on Saturday and had to put her glasses on to read something and inevitably left them behind. I just want to know if these are her's because I have brought them home to give them to her next Wednesday. Recently Joy and Vi visited Coco the Burmese adopted by her friend Barbara and got sat on.

Coco loves laps

Bambi and Luigi went home today (3 days later than originally booked). They have spent the last few days in the play place and they had a poo party last night. Knowing that the owners were coming today, I put on gloves to mop the play place floor before opening time. Good thing that I did because, on arrival, they immediately wanted to see their favourite cats. Then they, mother and daughter, exclaimed over Coco the rabbit. Having been taught by our intern, I picked her up and put her on the daughter's lap. They had a lovely, long cuddle. Evidently the family has had two rabbits before. One died of a liver complaint brought on by overeating. The other, an entire male, used to come in and out of the laundry door but eventually didn't come back for meals regularly, and then not at all. They have photos and videos to prove to dad that a rabbit is a good addition to their family. Luigi was giving Coco nose bumps at breakfast time. And Coco loves Jacky's dog who visits on Mondays. So fingers crossed.

Rabbit spotted at the library

All was going smoothly until Catsie stumbled coming off the short ladder and landed on the side of her head. The handle of her specs broke off and she has a lump which will develop into a stunning black eye. Sandy drove her home and Catsie's car will be picked up tomorrow some how or other. 

PS Adoptions over the weekend included Courtney, Ginger (never made it onto the website adoption page), McCartney and Starr, Violet and Fern (who is still with us).
