Elizabeth has gone into heat. Estrus. So she’s walking around caterwauling and raising a ruckus.

Mr. B isn’t quite sure what to do.. he’s been fixed since he was a little tom cat.. but instincts kick in and half the time he’s.. you know… … …better be shooting blanks.

The other half of the time he’s hiding under my desk or in a kitty carrier trying to keep out of Lizzy’s sights, bless his little orange heart.

As I sit here this morning, sipping on some coffee, the kittens are wrestling and Lizzy is making her funny coo and chitter noises. Its a lot of fun to watch the babies at this stage because they’re still more wobble than anything and its really funny to watch them act tough when they pounce on each other or Lizzy. Mr. B is less in denial now, which is good, since in a week or so these kittens are probably going to be all over the place and he won’t be able to avoid them any longer!

The kittens are about 7 days old now, and they’re growing so fast! Dim seems to grow by the hour which Sum seems to be the pokey little kitten as far as getting bigger goes. They’re both still amazing little beings. Dim is going to be a beautiful cat - I am really starting to see some calico come out. Sum will likely look a lot like Lizzy - tiger striped & tabby. I really hope they both have Lizzy’s emerald green eyes too.

I spent a lot of time just admiring the babies today - it is really quite a site to watch them go from nursing monsters to sleepy lumps of baby cat. I swear to you they dream already - Dim even makes noise while sleeping - and I can see their little feet move like they’re running. This could be total projection on my part, but if the patterns fit…

Its funny watching them. Last night I came to the conclusion that the easiest ways for these creatures to move is not by attempting to walk, but simply by wiggling and rolling themselves around on the floor.

Just a few moments ago, I grabbed Mr. Bigglesworth and took him to see the babies. Lizzy didn’t do anything (she sure kept her eyes on Mr. B though) and after ten or fifteen seconds I let go of Mr. B and after a moment he turned around and FLEW out of my room. I’m not sure if he is in denial over it all or what. It will be a fun household when their eyes open and they can move around better. I can’t wait!
