My sweet little Livvy– isn’t she cute? She’s growing so fast now. I really miss the tiny kitten stage. :( Couldn’t they stay smaller longer? Well, of course she is the darling of the house. The kids have been very busy with the camera these days.

Like i always say, cats and babies are cutest when they are sleeping. Here she is, in the warm laundry. The kids didn’t want to fold the clothes because she looked so comfortable. :S That’s sweet, but I hate ironing so I made them take her out! They snapped this photo first, though.

This photo turned out poorly, but I include it because I just LOVE the look on her little face!! It was a cold day, and she decided to snuggle up in the warm spot on the couch. Yeah, I need new slippers. I may as well give these old ones to Livvy anyway, she’s chewed them up already.

I posted about her discovery of the the toilet paper, on my New York Renovator blog. She’s a real wildcat- she tried to hop on the table during dinner, hides behind the clothes washer so she can try to make a mad dash out the back door…. sighhh. Yes, I miss the tiny kitten stage, when we could at least contain her!

Oh this kitty is growing up so fast! She’s a handful! Here’s a photo of her giving “the look.”

In the next photo, you can see how sleek she is. Her baby fuzz is almost all gone, and she’s looking more like a washed-out Siamese.

Now that she is used to our large house and the kids’ activities, she is much more comfortable stampeding around the house. When she gallops, she sounds JUST like a horse. She also INSISTS in climbing in my daughter’s lap and eating at the dinner table with us. :S She’s such an affectionate little kitty, really. It’s what makes her so adorable. Right now her favorite activity is climbing up the legs of people standing atthe kitchen counter. I clip her nails, but YOW they are still sharp.

I plan on starting to toilet train her in a few weeks– I’ll have all the play-by-play action, lol! :S

You knew it was coming– another post about my new kitten, with photos!

In case you haven’t heard, we have a new addition to the family: Olivia the kitten. She’s half-Siamese. She is the most ADORABLE thing I’ve ever seen!!! This kitten is the sweetest and most affectionate little baby. She hates to be alone (she will mew pitifully if she’s lost in the big house, and when she sees us again, she bounces over), she nuzzles our cheeks when we get close, and she rubs our legs when we sit in chairs. I am madly in love with this baby. She’s very playful and wants our constant attention. Need to know how to lose weight? Get a playful kitten! She is keeping us busy.

Yesterday while the kids and I were preparing dinner, Livvy decided to bother Daddy (my husband). She clambered up the desk chair he was sitting in, and marched across his shoulders. Every once in a while, she would teeter at the edge of his shoulder, only to grasp on to his shirt with her razor-sharp kitten claws. My husband was amazingly tolerant of her antics.

Livvy likes furry things. She discovered my son’s cookskin cap and has adopted it. Maybe it reminds her of her brother (who was of similar color and fuzz). My husband’s hair, actually, is similar color and texture, too. Livvy found daddy’s hair to be a great toy! I snuck in and snapped some photos.

Isn’t she ADORABLE?!

Good grief! Is it just me, or does it take horrendously long to upload a video to YouTube these days? I have noticed that it takes 2- 3x longer to upload a measly video! Maybe I should try out Flickr’s new video feature.

Anyway, the kids wanted me to take a video of their kooky cat, Fuzzy. He’s quite the clown. My husband says h acts so strangely because he was taken away from other kittens at such a young age (4 weeks).

My son, inspired by Daisy the Curly Cat, bought some Temptations and catnip. I have to admit, I’d had my doubts about how tempting Temptations really are. I thought it was just that Daisy was a well-trained cat. She is probably a well-trained cat, but WHOA HEY, Fuzzy loves those Temptations! Maybe we can even train him! I doubt he’ll acquiesce to wearing pink bed jackets… but we can always try.

Here’s a little video of Fuzzy testing out catnip for the first time. Weirdness, feline style.
