We were locked out of our blog due to technical issues with Bloggger. The issue is resolved now..........here's kitten pics!

Cats in Space

2007-02-02T08:57:00.000-08:00

Due to the sensitive nature of what our kittens just went through, (spayed and snipped), this post will follow a standard pulp sci-fi format in effort to distract from the painful realities of recovery.

Commander Orly and Lt. Olive on the home planet, the day before the launch.

After landing on a harsh and unknown world, the Commander sends Lt. Olive out on a recon mission. He waits in the safety of the pod.

Lt. Olive cautiously begins her mission.

The Commander waits patiently from a safe distance.

As suspected there is hostile life on this world. Lt. Olive falls back on her training and engages in battle.

Orly in a sunny chair.

Orly in a "situation".

Olive has discovered the outside world. Orly, poor thing, doesn't quite get the outside world concept.

Olive's moment in the sun.

He's not the brightest, but he sure is cute! awwww.

Happy New Year!

Brian and Orly having a moment.

Philip and the kittens. They're still recovering.

Flora, kittens, jiffy pop. What more do you really need?

Eliza enjoys a disco nap before heading out for New Years Eve. Orly figures, "What the hell, may as well join her."

Happy New Year to all!!

Kitten Holiday

2006-12-27T07:39:00.000-08:00

This is Olive looking very much like a Royal.

Not sure what was happening here but it sure looks exciting!

This pair of Menonite field workers spoke no English. We invited them in for some Christmas wine and then contacted the authorities.

Orly, contemplating another attack sequence.

Sequence completed.

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

...because you need to see this.

There is no explanation. Sometimes Orly sleeps on his sister.

So they grow when you feed them. It's true. Sorry about the lazy posting updates, but we've been spending a lot of time watching TV and being on hold with our congress men and women.
Olive and Orly are healthy and growing and finding new ways to get shut out of the bedroom at night. They've learned some basic ettiquette from mister spray bottle(pictured), and are having the time of their lives. Happy Holidays, see you all soon!

First visit to the vet

2006-12-08T14:30:00.000-08:00

Today the kittens had their first vet visit. Just like their first night here, Olive was the first out of the crate to check out the new environment and meet her doctor. Orly had to be dragged out kicking and screaming into the exam room. Both kitties are very healthy. Olive is 3 pounds and Orly is almost 3 pounds. The got a de-worming pill and some shots too! And right before we left, the receptionist gave Olive her first massage...I don't think she wanted to go home after that.

Here are some photos of our cute, little guys:

i think this will be their first album cover when they become famous

Crazy uncle Scott came over this week and met the kittens...supervised.

Here is Ms. Olive stretching out for the camera.

The weekend...

Orly: I'm enjoying the whole house now, but I'm still a little frightened of loud sounds and sudden movements. I made a new friend last night. Her name is Flora. She has a scary scarf but other than that, she's alright.

Olive: I'm starting to get used to my new home. I am no longer shut in one room with Orly and I can even have visitors without feeling the need to flee.

We'll get back in touch soon. We're off to sample the catnip!

The First Night Home

2006-12-01T06:42:00.000-08:00

After an uneventful car ride to their new home, Orly and Olive began the exciting exploration process. Olive was much more curious than her brother at first, but he eventually came around. They enjoyed some TV with the welcoming committee and retired for the night under our bed. At 6:20 am, Orly decided it was time to great the day. He meowed to wake up his sister, they ate and drank, and then the kitten antics went into full swing. They're two very happy little kittens.
