Sian is 'full of beans' this morning. Jumping Beans

Today is display day. I'll be putting up the window barrier and letting the kidcats get a look at Sian. I'll give them a couple of days just seeing her. My cat rescuer friends said actual in person introductions might be easier if someone else brings her out of the room, so that the kidcats don't get jealous that I'm holding a new baby. I didn't have too much trouble introducing Arthur and his litter mates to Gryff and Madoc but I'm sure my brother will gladly help, since he's a pretty experienced rescuer, too.

3. his/her eyes look great. I suspect you've got another successful intro/rescue to notch you belt.

This is my 12th rescue. I've discovered that it's no less exhausting to care for one kitten than it was for 4. Just less food. But I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

Especially Arthur and Madoc. Arthur is constantly crouched at the bottom of the door and sometimes Sian is right on the other side. I have to be VERY careful when I open it.

I'll bring that down for the kidcats.

Today she will spend some time on my lap, down in the den. Maybe a couple of 15 or 20 minute visits.

This morning she rushed the window barrier and scared the boys away! I suspect this is one fearless kitten.

9. My niece is stopping by so I might have her bring Sian out, for just a minute

That will give me the best idea on how they will react.

She's so playful, I really want Sian to have interactions with the kidcats.

Face it, all kittens are cute but yours are so well cared for and loved right away that they are the cutest of all kittens. I do mean this having an adult life full of rescues from tiny to old and crusty. Yours are particularly, obviously done right!

That face. THAT is a kitten that feels safe and loved and is sending it back. I get a heart full every day with your tales and photos. Thank you for that too.
