Sparta Gives Birth



At first I thought this was the kitty from Mean Kitty, but the home looks different. What I love is how the kittens look like their mom. Isn't this cute?

Mutegi Jumps Around



Look at this kitty Mutegi's excellent cat tree. CatMom was checking it out. It's on the right.

Lulu Appreciated CatMom's Drama

A couple days ago, CatMom was writing, and Lulu was being a frustrated kitten, doing lots of bad things, the kinds of things which typically get him a time-out. He knows. He just goes till he gets his time-out.

CatMom and Lulu are like a see-saw in the house. They live in certain swoops of movement. CatMom might be in chase Lulu time, and mid-stream, CatMom realizes she wants to do something different, and she tells Lulu, "You chase CatMom instead. Follow me."

It is that sort of life. Anyways, CatMom decided to do something different. When she went to meet her little cat front door cozy, who sits there after he knows he's been bad to show off CatMom's absolute favorite part of all he is, his belly, CatMom knew she ought to put him down the stairs, and shut the door, and tell him he had a two minute wait. That's his time-out.

CatMom looked at him, and she decided to play. She bent down to Lulu, and she picked up Lulu (a Lulu, but a representation of Lulu), and CatMom held him, talked to him, told him about the things he was doing which were not helpful, told him he needed a time-out, carried him to the basement, put him down the stairs, and shut the door.

Lulu watched CatMom act, with a Lulu that had to get a time-out.

He was probably saying, "Has my CatMom gone silly here? I am here. How is it she thinks she has the bad Lulu in her hands?"

Anyway, CatMom talked through the door to the bad Lulu, and said, "Lulu, when you come up, you have to be a good catboy."

She walked halfway back in the hall, and she looked at her boy Lulu, laying as the cat cozy along the front door entry. He looked at her, at the door, and assessed.

CatMom walked to the office to begin her writing. In process, Lulu joined her, and he came and sat with her, and he was an angel catboy. He completely quit all his bad behavior, and he became CatMom's companion instead.

We left the Lulu with the bad behavior downstairs, and the Lulu CatMom loved joined her.

My Lulu is very smart. He can process many complicated things. He appreciated that he did not have to get the punishment for that bad Cat Lulu, and that instead, he received grace, and kisses and his throne, in front of CatMom's computer screen.

The Lu-cat Has a Tent

This morning, I was inspired to change up Lulu's morning. CatDad too, I guess. I will start with him. CatDad decided to place my hair elastics - likely ones we should not have been using - up on Lulu's scratching post tower. CatDad did it a couple times. On the second time, CatDad did not get his thumb out the way fast enough, and Lulu pinned him to the cat tree. It was a little injury. He checked it out. These things happen really fast with a cat like Lulu.

Then, Lulu was still rambunctious. I used a blanket - the kind you warm up with these days in the cold weather, and you keep on your sofa, and I put that on the top of his cat tree, and I made Lulu a tent. I did this to distract him from scratching and wrecking furniture. I tend to react quickly, to prevent him from establishing habits. I invited him over, for he sees under furniture, and knows everything which goes on. It took a few seconds, and he was there, and I made him his little tent.

Lulu has been in his tent, investigating its benefits and keeping warm. He's been on top of the cat tree, which he always does, and had to react to a blanket sort of wrapped around the whole for his descent. He is still figuring it out, so that's good.

A Doe Has Twins



This is a 13 min video. While she is carrying for the first baby, she is working on the second.

This is a beautiful sight.

This is a short term post. Enjoy this for a couple days, and I will take it down.

In those 2 days, if you want, you can share this to your own sites.

How CatMom is a Tiger Lily

How is CatMom like a tiger lily?

In the morning, while she drinks her first coffee in bed, brought by her beloved, she is radially surrounded by her kittens, who all bare stripes.

CatDad, who was watching her coffee and morning cat visit progress, told her that she was a tiger lily.

All of her petals have stripes.

Now, this flower only has 3 petals. And that's okay, for each of her petals require a lot of loving. Two of them let her kiss their little heads, and the third thinks about biting. That is the same for petting their paws.

The whole family has a conference on the day, and then we move.

The Crow Is De-behued

CatMom has named all the friendly and lovely creatures in her environs as a name-behu.

It started with calling for her cat outdoors, and to satisfy her poetic nature, she called for Lu-behu. Occasionally, she calls Lulu-behu.

Then, there is a baby rabbit behu #1, and baby rabbit behu #2, and various other behus about her yard who come to visit.

She called her cats -behus, and she called her hubby a hubby-behu.

One day, she saw her local house crow. She called to him, greeting him as a crow-behu.

CatDad who witnessed said this, "That crow, CatMom, is not a behu. He is not permitted the affection of you, CatMom, naming him a -behu, and he is not part of the -behu family. Are we clear?"

CatMom had decided to befriend all the house creatures.

Anyway, even though CatMom loves that crow, and thinks his actions very unkind, and that he needs a time-out to teach him neighbourhood manners, CatMom agrees that today, the crow does not deserve to be called a -behu.

Sometimes, when we receive a name - that name is imbued with a family culture - and that is love.

If you bear the -behu on your name, your behavior must stand with a -behu.

It is a clan. So no, the crow is not a -behu.

That is sad. It is too bad the crow chooses to not be a -behu.

My Kitten Is Down

My kitten is down. The local crow bully changed his strategies. Crows are smart. That bully crow did not mark his arrival with a caw. He attacked our kitten Lulu.

Lulu came in very silent and very sad, and CatMom and CatDad could not see his injury, except a change in his demeanor.

CatMom, who noticed a change in his normal high energy behavior, said, "Something is wrong."

She took him to the vet. In the vet exam, the vet noticed his forehead, and his paw. His forehead has a wound. His paw looks like he may have been involved in a fight.

CatDad, who has inspected his wounds, he hopes the crow took a couple hits. He hopes that the crow thinks twice before coming after his Lulu again.

(Lulu's vet implored me to get Lulu's children story out. It is not about money, but about telling his story. I am considering this.)

Anyway, Lulu is not very interested in going outside. He wants cover. He wants his CatDad.

CatDad is changing his supervision methods out of doors. This change in the behavior of the crow - that took him by surprise. CatDad will actively be with his kitten out of doors. The two will face that crow down together.
