Our 7 Qtpies

Kitties are so cute!

We have 5 kittens! We swear we can feel another inside of the mama, but it's been 24 hours since we found the kittens and nothing more is going on. And she feels great, so we much be wrong. I'm not sure how she could have large bones in her belly that move from one side to the other and sometimes feel like a foot and sometimes like a spine, but I guess so.

We are enjoying the kittens. It is nice that they are in the drawer to keep the little two out of them when we are not around. Since my drawer is very, very hard to open the kittens are safe from little fingers. This is actually our second cat to have kittens in one of our waterbed drawers.

Midnight doesn't mind at all when we come and ohh and ahh over her babies. Sometimes she even takes advantage of it to go eat and do her business while we deal with the whiny babes. It is actually quite fun! But she is a good mom, too.

The darkest black kitten is a bully. It wants whatever nipple someone else is on, and it wants it NOW. So it will lay on its side and swat both paws at the sibling super fast, like a girly slapping fight, rowling at the other cat. Some of them give it up, but one fights back, holding tight to it's prize, it swats quickly with one paw. And one time it even used it's back paws to push the other one off!

Sam LOVES the kittens! We brought him in to see them and he looked in the drawer and giggled and said "That keey!" He has never said kitty before! The last two days he has been increasing his vocabulary big time. Hope-Anne asked him if he wanted to watch something on TV and he said "Ya! I so cited!" (excited) For the very first time he started making animal sounds when we asked him to. He does quack, meow, woof, and moo! He also learned GO. He always wants to go outside. He won't say out, but he now says go. It works. Now, if he would start saying his siblings names we'd love it.

I found my camera! Devon had somehow taken it after the grad party and had it all week. yesterday Donnie and I had to drive an hour each way to pick it up from the paintball place that he left it at on Saturday. The battery was dead, so he left it on the table........... Nice. Oh, well, Donnie and I got a couple hours alone in the car, lol. That was nice. Talking and catching up.

Then came the fight.

The remote control for our bedroom TV quit controlling the Dish receiver and is stuck on one channel. We fought over getting it working. We tried everything. We got nowhere. The remote still doesn't control the receiver, just the TV. So, I have to call Dish today.

Am I rambling? Sorry. TV is important, people!

But the kitties are cute!

I miss when our cats were little kittens. They're so cute when they're young.
