Starring Willie Rae
Being so beautiful can be positively exhausting.
What else has Willie Rae been up to? Well, as the only kitten left (who needs a bit more bravery in her soul) she's been out and about in the main house as much as possible.
She hung out in sunbeams.
She chased sparkle balls.
Sillie Rae has also spent some time getting to know Charlie. I wouldn't say she's completely comfortable with him yet, but she does enjoy hanging out behind him and pouncing on a tail that's tapping on the floor. Charlie made an overture to her yesterday by bringing her a tennis ball and laying it down beside her. Since the tennis ball was bigger than Willie Rae's head, she wasn't exactly certain what to do with it so he dejectedly took it back. But when he rolled it across the floor later, a teeny tiny kitten chased right after it... only to stop dead in her tracks because what is a teeny tiny kitten supposed to do with a tennis ball that's bigger than her head?
After playing and exploring for close to two hours, she crashed out in my lap. I was so disappointed to spend some quiet time on the sofa, watching television with a purring kitten.
Last night we experimented and allowed both baby and her mama out of the foster room for the evening. She and Willie Rae played and ran around the house together at high speed. For the very first time, Mother Jefferson managed to avoid conflict with the boys (not sure if it's because they avoided her or if she just isn't as concerned about them anymore). But Mama is still the protector. Whenever Willie Rae lost her mama, she'd call loudly and her mama came running.
that is one adorable yawn. so do you find she is becoming bolder with out siblings to hide behind?
ReplyDeleteShe is! Still a bit jumpy from time to time, but it's a whole new world out here so I can understand. She's definitely blossoming in her time as an only kitten.
DeleteI know I said "pix or it didn't happen!" but your descriptions count as word pix so I believe you. :-) What a good dog Charlie is.
ReplyDeleteOh good... so glad this counts since I still haven't gotten a picture of it :)
DeleteAnd yes... he's a very good boy. Now if we could only get him to stop barking like he's going to kill the UPS man.
She's so sweet! I love her coloring.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous coloring and I still haven't gotten a picture that does her justice. Her orange is feathering in daily. I hope her forever family sends us photos of what she looks like as an adult.
DeleteBest wishes to Sillie Rae (cute nickname) and Charlie and all the others and you and your family for a fabulous Thanksgiving. I will be enjoying my own and won't be able to check back until the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Holly. We're wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday. You'll have some gorgeous guest stars to see when you return later this week.
Deleteaww - that yawn is adorable! no dog tails here, but Bourbon was beating on Tommy's tail last night. That Charlie is a good boy!
ReplyDeleteAny tail will do in a pinch. Willie Rae is fond of grabbing her mama's tail, too.
DeleteOh my gosh is that the cutest thing!
ReplyDeleteAnd she knows it too!
