We also made a hard decision today, but I'll talk about that later. Let's get to some kitten cuteness!
So through their second week of life, I didn't take as many photos since their eyes were just opening and still developing. So I didn't do many up close and personals.
July 3 - 8 days old
Here is Rex with his eyes just barely open .... btw, his Forever Family has decided to keep his name Rex. It definitely fits him.
Sophie (previously Sulley)
Maddie Boo.... You can see she's starting to lose those adorable circles around her eyes and she's starting to look more Tortie in the face. (Tortie = Tortoise Shell, like Sophie)
Sophie loves to lay and sleep on her back. She's funny like that.
The three of them sleeping together. Still seeking each other out for heat.
Marnie still doesn't know what to think of them.

Sophie sleeping on her back again - silly girl. Maddie Boo is to her left, and Rex to her right. Mommy all the way to the left.
Sophie looking like she got into the catnip!!! LOL... She didn't, it's just her eyes being immature.

I'll update on weights later. I haven't done it yet.
So ........ as for our sad news. We have decided to find a new home for Mia. She's just not happy here. She likes to be the only animal, she's not real fond of the kids... the little kids.... we love her so much and we've been talking about this for awhile. I just haven't had the heart to do it. So this morning ... I was doing some work online, and ..... I put out an ad thinking I wouldn't get any interest since adult cats are hard to place, and especially black ones at that.
I got three people interested before I took the ad down.
We have a beautiful full black cat who is in need of a good home. Her name is Mia Bella. We have had her since she was 5 weeks old. She was found under a porch in West Bremerton, she was the only kitten of her litter to survive. (One photo is recent one is when she was a tiny kitten) We love her a ton but just have come to the conclusion that she isn't the happiest with us. She is a solitary cat and really prefers to be the only animal in the house (to be honest) and we have another cat who just had kittens and a dog. She isn't real good with kids either and we have 4. Older children are fine, but not younger ones who want to play with her. She has taken on our teenager as her human for the last few years. We just feel she would do better in the right environment. She's free to a good home. She is an indoor cat, but if someone on a farm is interested, we wouldn't be opposed to that. She likes the outdoors, and she's a fantastic mouser. She is not fixed.
We really hope someone is interested to give her a forever home.
This wasn't an easy choice at all. I'm not happy about it - but I really really think that this would be best for her, and I'm hoping it will make her a more loving cat to be in a house with no young kids or other pets.
I still have the urge to say ... sorry - can't do it. But I keep reminding myself that ... gawd, I hope she'll be happier.
The kitties are just adorable, takes me back to when our cat had her litter and the excitement/cuteness of it all. Will you keep them? Our cat had 3 , my sister took one and we kept the others could not part with them.
ReplyDeleteAs for giving the cat away , i hope it goes well. My hubby and i got two cats when we first moved in together (so pre kids) , they were fine with baby one but when i had my second one just would not accept it - he liked attention and with two babies close in age and a hubby who was a full time student and worked full time we just did not have the time and they were not happy. One of the cats was peeing on everything , destroying the place, crying/meowing all the time and you could just tell . It was heartbreaking but we re homed them, i still believe it was the best choice for them and im sure you will to..
