This morning, I had all five cats in my studio, wanting treats. I bought a new cat scratcher for them to hopefully use instead of the chairs in here, and they're really enjoying it. It doesn't hurt that I laced it with catnip.
Plus, it's pretty, with large silk leaves that add greenery to the space.

The Kitten Corral has a visitor staying with us. Our neighbor found him abandoned, hidden in a wall of his shed just before they were leaving on vacation, and brought him here to keep until they get back. He doesn't have a name but we call him Scamp, a ten-week-old bundle of joy, very playful, and incredibly smart. Our cats watch while he entertains himself (and us) for hours. Just a delightful little guy.

The corral used to hold six baby feral kittens. Now it's their rest area in the basement with three large litter boxes inside. Mr. Vincent approves.

Sadie loved our anniversary bouquet. She found it very tasteful.

The kittens fared their first Fourth of July fireworks well. Harley started pacing, a bit nervously, when the first ones went off but settled down quickly.
Happy Fourth of July from The Kitten Corral!

Three of the feral cats were sunning in the front yard. Harley and Quinn didn't know they were seeing their mother (far left). They were only four weeks old or so when she abandoned the two of them but kept the other three foster kittens she was nursing.

My, how he's grown! Goh today and when he was itty bitty with the same carpet climber.

The kittens' day includes a lot of playtime, naptime, and window-watching. These are some scenes from their awake and almost-awake time.

Happy Easter from The Kitten Corral! No baskets for the babies, but they have new toys that they're dearly loving. The first is a motion-activated flopping fish. When it's quiet, Goh will use it as a pillow for napping. The second is a motion-activated squeaky mouse. Their favorite is their first laser light. This one projects a red butterfly that grows as it gets farther away. The floppy fish had a note in the belly for a free extra cover or laser light. I'd bought two fish already to keep one charged and one in use, so I claimed the laser light for our free gift. The kittens are thrilled.
There's lots of window-watching these days. Turtledoves are nesting in the holly tree outside my window, and the feral cats outside fascinate the kittens in the house. They never knew any cats besides their mothers, so seeing adults and older kittens is strange. The yellow-and-white tom is just as curious and has jumped on the windowsill to get a closer look. He's the bravest of the ferals and a handsome cat. The cat at the top right looking at the camera is what Sadie will look like when she's grown. She's wild as can be, but I call her Sophie. The brave yellow tom is beside her, eating. The dark tortie is Pixel, Harley and Quinn's mother.

Lots of window watching these days. Wind in the trees, traffic, and birds hold them spellbound.
