Updates and Newbies in the cat cottage

Hi Everyone!
I don't know if you remember me but my name is Cookie.  Several months ago I gave birth to three beautiful kittens affectionately referred to as my "crumbs".  They were all adopted to wonderful homes on July 3rd, and, by now I'd bet that you are wondering how they are doing.





Well, let's just say that I couldn't be a  prouder mom.  
The reviews are coming in and I can thankfully say they are happy well-adjusted kittens that are so loved by their new families. (of course I never doubted that they would turn out that way).

Just take a look at their photos and I think you'll agree with me.





Here's a quick shot of them together just before they left me for their new homes.  Look at those sweet innocent faces!




And now here they are in their new homes:

Biscuit and Keebler have now been renamed to Tippy and Tara and they are growing up to be such beautiful girls.








And it's so nice to hear that their human parents love them as much as I do -

"We love them more than words can say and cant thank you enough for all you did with their imprint training. We can vouch for the imprint training process. They have been happy well adjusted kittens since day one with us!"


It just fills my heart with joy to hear how well they are doing - and phew!  so glad that I sent them to that kitten kindergarten class.  Really, it was just for a little free time for me but seems it did them a world of good. (Thanks again to their human mentors).

Of course - there is still my little boy Graham,  who now goes by the name of Reese:


He went to his new home by himself but he's not alone.  He's done a  wonderful job of making new friends in his home and it seems he's adjusting well.

Here he is annoying  his new sister Lily-

Honestly I don't know why I ever thought that would change.




And here he is hanging out with his new brother Baily.




Still as cute - and mischievous as ever- thankfully his new family can handle him as well as I could.


"He’s doing great.  Lots of energy, very mischievous and naughty!  Our favorite kind of cat!  He’s full of energy, never stops.  He adores his brother Bailey and he’s still working on getting his sisters to love him 100% of the time.  Most of the time they do but they keep him in line when needed. "


It's so nice to see that my babies are doing well.
As for me......
I do miss them.

I was having a lot of fun with my pals Emily and Whiskers ....but then they got adopted too.  So now I just have one roommate left and he's nice.... buuuut... really he's just not my type.

I try to pass the time looking at the birds and bugs outside the window
or playing with my tail ...



But after a while that just gets a little boring.
I'm looking forward to my forever family coming along too.



We know Cookie will find her forever home soon, in the meantime we are welcoming two new sweet kitties to our intake room: 

There's mom Hazel and daughter Pippi.

Pippi


Hi I'm Pippi. My mom and I are both really lovable and sweet - there's just one thing that I need to tell you about me though.  My mom was infected with the distemper virus when I was born.  Because of that, I was born with a condition known as cerebellar hypoplasia.  All it really means is that I have a little trouble with my balance and walk a little different than other cats do.

Here are some videos of me that I can show you:




See- I can get around really well, except for jumping up onto things,  and I'm perfectly healthy.

And another thing -mom and I love and rely on each other and give each other confidence so we need to stick together in life......





Even though mom can sometimes be a little annoying - like when I feel she's always watching everything that I do - or she knows just when I'm about to do something wrong and I get that Pippi don't you dare look....


She's still my mom and I love her!- (and it helps that I always let her believe she still in charge.)
Aye Aye Captain mom!




Thanks all for checking in - we'll leave you with a peaceful  picture of our girl Tabby watching the sunrise on a warm September morning.


Just proving that there is some truth to the old saying that good fences make good neighbors!
