Gretchen, my little scream queen!
As requested, here’s a short montage of her attention cries 😅
She loves to talk all day long, and ask for her face to be rubbed. The sweetest girl, she’s happiest when in someone’s arms.

Tabasco’s favourite thing is playing fetch with his springs. Wherever I am, he’ll bring his spring and politely ask me to throw it with his adorable little squeaks 🥰 he doesn’t have a real meow.
I’ll often come out of a room and find him waiting to play, or he’ll come drop it at my feet if I’m doing something else. We can play this game for hours on end!
He also makes sure he drowns his catch - every few throws, he goes and drops it in the water bowl before bringing it back to me.

Yesterday we tried some meat, and we loved it!
Everyone except Gretchen had a taste.
Donnie was the first, quickly followed by Kenny.
Frank needed to try it off my fingers before he joined - and then Roberta discovered it!
These guys are becoming big kids 🥹 they still get their milk, of course, but will start eating more and more meat from here on out.

Better together 💕
These guys are best buds, and are here to remind you that life is better with a friend!
Kittens are very high energy, and are still learning behaviours and boundaries. They want to play all day every day (when not napping, of course), and aren’t quite sure how hard they’re allowed to bite yet.
Having another energetic kitten around allows them to release their play aggression on each other - not you - and to teach each other behaviours and boundaries.
While you may think that playing with your kitten is enough to keep them occupied - just remember that they want to play at every waking moment, and they want to wrestle and pounce, and chase.
We as humans simply can’t give them the same enrichment as another kitten. When raised as a solo, they don’t learn that they’re biting too hard, or that they shouldn’t be attacking our hands and feet. They also get bored, and can become destructive.
Young cats (i.e 1 or 2 years old) can also be a great companion - they often still have a lot of energy, and can tolerate a kitten playing with them constantly!
As a cat gets older, they spend more time relaxing and less time playing. Kittens can be quite stressful for older cats, as they don’t want to be pounced on all day long. Even “playful” older cats will be annoyed by the constant bugging and biting from the kitten - they want to be left alone sometimes, but the kitten wants a playmate 24/7.
By adopting a pair, you are giving them the gift of friendship, setting them up for good behaviour - and making it a whole lot easier on yourself 😄
The Beverage Babies have had an eventful week! Last night they attended a kitten meditation event, and tonight they got to make a bunch of new friends at a listening party for Taylor Swift’s new album - all to benefit the shelter.
Even better - their new best buds, the pajama kittens, joined them in all this fun 😻
@emma_crutch’s kittens are coming to stay with us for a little while, starting this Sunday, and we can’t wait for all the fun!

After we eat, we like to tell foster mama about our day while escaping our kitty bake oven 🐱
Colman is always excited to meet new friends and go on new adventures. This morning he took a very brief stroll out on the deck in the snow and he was completely fascinated by it 🌨️
(Although he spent more time trying to catch and play with the leash 😅)
Tabasco, however, was not a fan! We held him for a few seconds so he could see it, but he would like to go back into the dry house please!
*After about 1 minute, Colman was scooped up and taken back into the warmth*

Here it is, our number 1! With 1.3 million views and counting, baby Data steals the top spot as my most watched video of 2023 😻
Can you believe that so many people across the world have watched this sweet girl dreaming?
Data - just like Mouth in my previous post - was part of #thegoonieshq litter earlier this year.
She was adopted with her brother, Chunk, and they’re currently living their best lives!
Thank you all so much for continuing to follow along, and supporting me in both the highs and lows that we’ve experienced this year.
Let’s hope 2024 is a good one for us all 🥂
Coming in at second place in 2023’s most-watched videos is baby Ronald and his huge purr! 🥰
It’s no surprise that this video was watched so many times, just listen to that motor!
Ronald was part of my Cruel Intentions litter. You likely all remember Sebastian - the flame point who came in extremely emaciated and on death’s door. He became the most handsome chunky little guy.
But Ronald was found all alone at about 2-3 weeks old, so he and Blaine (another solo found at the same time) joined Sebastian, Katherine, and Annette.
They grew and grew, and little Ronald here was adopted with his best buddy Blaine 😻
Who remembers the Cruel Intentions litter?
.
Number 3 most-watched of 2023 was Mouth and his opinions!
Mouth was part of #thegoonieshq kittens, and was adopted alongside Arlo of @whisker.wonderland - meaning he has a best friend for life!
Unfortunately we did lose his brother, Mikey, very suddenly at 4-5 weeks old, but the rest of the litter thrived and went to the most wonderful homes.
Mouth was the loudest of all the siblings when they arrived at about 1 week old - so of course I knew which character he should be!
He continued to charm us with his chatty personality right up until he left 😻
