You thought "Trouble on Tuesday" was bad?
You ain't seen nothing yet...
Foster mom Jackie sent these pictures of her charges enjoying the start of the holiday season.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Cats in every tree.
"You want Buttercup OUT of the tree? But it's the best toy EVER!!!!!"
"You go away now. Buttercup is playing 'mountain lion in the tree' and you're cramping his style."
(Look at Mr. Mountain Lion's ears glow!)
"You can make Buttercup come down, but you can't make Buttercup be good."
(As an aside, I looked at this picture a dozen times before I noticed the second kitten!)
"You weren't saving this flower for anything, were you? WHAT? Butterfinger has one, too!"
"TATTLETALE... Buttercup had better sleep with one eye open."
"Please notice that Bear, the black kitten, did not engage in such naughty activities.
Santa will still come for Bear... right?"
I hear Jackie's tree came down already.
Not sure if she took it down or if the kittens did it.

And Speaking of Trouble...
"You may peel Willie Rae a grape..."
"Yep, yep... Put it right in here!"
"HEY! WHERE'S MY GRAPE?!?!"
She just might get one this morning. Someone has found her motor.
She's purring... and purring... and purring (Hooray!)
And speaking of more trouble...
SOMEONE is becoming the front-runner as the trouble maker of the front foster room.
Don't let that wide-eyed innocent look fool you.
Peeps is trouble with a capital T.
And for the real Trouble on Thursday?
A trip to the vet with 7 kittens.
I'm thinking 4 carriers ought to do it.

I'm learning more about blogging while I build the new blog for the rescue. While I'm learning, I may experiment here and there with font and color. Holly caught me at it yesterday while going back and forth between "artsy" and "readable". Don't worry... I'll always pick readable, even if I put the settings to "artsy" for a while (and I'll generally mess around with settings in the evenings when there are fewer of you around). I really do like the yellow more than the old green, though. That will probably stick around.
As always, I value your input. Feel free to tell me what you like and what you don't. It honestly helps me learn more in order to find solutions.
MOL - yep, that is the reason we have no tree here. When our Angel Butterscotch was a tiny kitt like that, the tree was a HUGE adventure. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a kitten in the house at Christmas for 9 years. I may have forgotten "kitten proofing" when planning for the holidays. ;)
DeleteWhat better way to decorate the tree than with kittens??? I love it. they aren't being mischievous, they were being creative!
ReplyDeleteI loved these photos. More than anything I loved that this isn't my tree. ;)
DeleteKittens do what kittens do. Looking forward to seeing what Willie Rae and Abby do to our tree this weekend.
This will be Tuxie and Sabrina's first Christmas with me, and I'm waiting to see how they react when the tree goes up. I'm lucky that all Jinx and Trixie want to do is curl up on the tree skirt and occasionally bat at a low hanging ornament! So year 3 for the non-breakable ornaments...just when I thought it was safe to pull out the blown-glass Santas again...oh well! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm doing some pretty heavy rearranging of the Christmas decorations in my brain before we bring them out this weekend. The boys are behind closed doors, but Abby and Willie Rae will more than likely be here when we bring everything out. Looks like Abby will be with us through Christmas (full story in tomorrow's blog) and if Willie Rae doesn't get herself adopted soon, I may be WAY too attached to let her go.
DeleteI keep saying that she's up for adoption, but I don't know...
Oh my gosh! What an ornery orange guy! Tell me if I'm crazy, but in that very first picture, isn't there a second orange body in that tree a little higher up?
ReplyDeleteWillie Rae, glamour girl!
You're not crazy... there are two orange kittens in that tree. :)
DeleteOh dear! I better make sure that the kids and hubby put the tree up while *I* take pictures. I have no idea what I'm going to do if there is "redecorating" being done by Oreo.
ReplyDeleteI do think the yellow is easier to read as well:) Have fun with the website creativity.
I'm going to have to brainstorm myself for putting the tree up this weekend. It looks as if I will definitely have Abby this weekend and probably Willie Rae too out in the main house. I am getting WAY too attached to the baby (and her to me). There are some predicting foster failure with this one... including me if I can't get her a forever home on Saturday.
DeleteOops, forgot to ask if maybe we could have a link to the shelter site over there on the right> TY
ReplyDeleteI installed it this morning :) The Futures 4 Felines link in the Blog List will take you there. It will probably only be updated on Mondays with our Pet of the Week feature for the time being, though.
DeleteCould you put a link to the web site on your sidebar, please.
ReplyDeleteThe link to the new blog for our rescue is under my Blog List as "Futures 4 Felines". Thanks for your interest!
DeleteI have 4 grown kitties but still use non-breakable ornaments on the bottom half of the tree (they don't climb it). The first year that my partner and I lived together, one of his cats, Allie, was petrified of the tree. We had to move it because Allie would not walk past it (and thus could not get to his food or litter box). Now they just like to sit under it. Makes for great photo ops.
ReplyDeleteSimba lives on the tree skirt every December. I don't keep indoor houseplants, so this is his only chance to "get back to nature" that doesn't involve being chased around the perimeter of the house.
DeleteIs the font bigger not Kelly or is it just me? Bigger might be better?!
ReplyDeleteThe point size is the same, but I do believe the font is bigger. I do like it better this way. :)
