Related: About this forumFinally seeing all three kittens playing, again
When they first came inside it was just Gwyn who was really comfortable and playful. Yesterday I noticed a shift in Carys and she's no longer retreating when I walk in the room. In fact, she's getting very playful, too.
Eira, who was playful when outside really went into a shell once she was in the playpen. But last night she started to get more comfortable and this morning she's starting to play with the cat teaser.
They all have a healthy appetite and things are processing through their system with no difficulty. Trust me. I clean that litter box.
Today will be another day of me cuddling them. I think I'll move the play pen into the den because we've got some cold nights ahead. I'll just have to do a little reconfiguring of the furniture layout.

(27,299 posts)Now that the initial shock of my friend testing positive has passed, the stress and anxiety has taken over. Although I tested negative, that could change in the next few days. I'm adding Ativan to my morning medication and supplement routine.
When I went to pick up her Rx, I let the pharmacist know what's going on and she didn't see any reason for me to NOT get the latest booster, so I did. But I also know that takes a few weeks to really kick in. I've read that people who had little to no reaction to the other vaccinations and boosters got a bit more of a kick from this one so I'm not going anywhere, today.
So, this morning I feel fine. Hopefully that will continue. She's going to sleep for as long as she can so I don't expect to see her until late morning.

(27,299 posts)And Eira NAILED me a good one when I tried to catch her.
So I decided to not stress about Carys. She'll show up or the boys will out her. I was in the 'powder room' (yes, that's what it is called on the house plans) when I heard a disturbance in the floor cabinet. Sure enough, there she was. It took me a while but I managed to catch her and then sat down and gave her tons of snuggles.

(27,299 posts)Scooter is the mother of these three. She was in the first littler of kittens I saw, about 4 years ago, and she is the only survivor.
Scooter's mother is Skittish, who is a tabby.
