NOMS Day

NOMS Day (Not of Our Species Day) is a special day for us cause we have the bestest NOMS in our family!  We know you have seen our cousins before, but we love showing them off!

 Young Neville is the newest member.

He is about 6 months old and lives with big brother Kahn.

 Neville and Kahn love to eat!

When they hear The Girl, they come running!

Our other cousins are known as "The Carrots", cause the mom misunderstood The Girl when she was talking about the ferrets.

 We Carrots do the funniest things!

 Pepe Jack shows off his yoga skills.

 While Zena Marie shows her fashion sense.

 But over all we are SO cute!

And our tummies are as cute as any kittens!

And 5 times as long.

We think there should be a Carrot Tummy Day!

Have fun seeing all the NOMS!

There is a NOMS celebration going on at the Tabby Cat Club today too, so be sure to visit.

Meet our Coz

By now, you have probably met our two little cousins.

 Pepe Jack

and Zena Marie.

You may recall, The Girl took these two young ferrets in when the person who owned them could no longer keep them.

Yup, that is yawn-inducing old news!

But we know you don't know we have ANOTHER cousin

who has been a bit of a secret cause 

not even the mom knew about him until earlier this year.

So, meet Kahn!

Kahn was named for Shere Kahn, the tiger in the Jungle Book.

 Kahn, front, had a brother, Eddie.

Eddie was named for the giggly hyena in The Lion King.

Sadly, Eddie passed away unexpectedly this past January.

 

Here is Eddie with his mother, Kandy.

The Girl and Eddie.

She was heartbroken when her Eddie left.

After the boys were born, The Girl found out they were slated to go to the butcher's, so she stepped in and adopted them.  If she was to keep them, she had to get them castrated, so the vet showed her how when he did Eddie and she had the pleasure of performing Kahn's surgery.  She was SO excited!  Guys, you are forewarned!

Now it's just The Girl and Kahn, and since she is out of college, she sees him all the time!

To meet more tabbies and their family members, visit the Tabby Cat Club Tuesday, March 11th!  We know you see our kitty family all the time, so this was the purrfect time to meet our other cousins. Psst . . . we even snuck a pic of the mom in our post there.

We Have Cousins!

We wanted to say we hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving but its apparent not everyone did.  We saw there has been some very sad news, like the passing of Tillie, while we were away, and we're sure everyone knows how sick the kitties, especially Gracie, are at Brian's Home.  We are hoping and praying they all recover soon, as we are for Tillie's loved ones.

We had quite a Thanksgiving surprise when the mom arrived at The Girl's.  We have cousins!

 Meet Zena Marie (left) and Pepe Jack (right).

Look quickly cause they don't hold still for long!

 They did like the mom's slippers.

And they love to explore, no matter what is put out for them.

Did we mention they are fast?

We hate to think of what trouble they might get into if left alone for a half hour! They make us kitties seem very well behaved and sedate.

Waking up, the faces of innocence.

The Girl agreed to take the ferrets when a friend could no longer keep them.  They are young, born last April and are brother and sister.  Now the mom isn't sure what is more fun to watch - kittens playing or ferrets romping around on their stubby little legs.  Its heresy, we say!  She tried to get videos of them, but she might have to break out the real camera for that!

We kitties were glad to see our mom.  She said all the food was good and everyone had a great time Thanksgiving day.  Now we are all glad to be back together.

Also in residence at The Girl's is Luna, 

a friend's Guinea Pig.

Luna will be staying until her owner has a place that allows pets.

It didn't take The Girl long to start her own menagerie, did it?
