First kitten is very dark in color - but later proves to be stripey, like mom...

Princess Tortuga, mother-to-be

She is less than a year old - and was just a little kitty hanging out in my friend's backyard last summer. They travel a lot but manage to feed the kitties - but by the time they got her to the vet, it was too late! She was about to be a mom!

"What do I do with a pregnant cat?" my friend wrote - so, of course, I volunteered to take her in!

Who knows what they are thinking, right? Actually - I could tell you - they are banding together in this displeasure at hosting Miss Princess Tortuga. Who is this stranger who took over the bathroom?

The boys love to snuggle - on top of the heating pad & fuzzy blanket - when it is chilly.

The Spice Must Flow!!

Not only did George climb into my robe while I was sitting at the computer, but then down into my sleeve - so I let him stay enwrapped in the sleeve and shrugged off the robe while I reached for the camera. He stayed there for about 30 minutes, all warm and snuggly. Somehow, though, he reminds me of "Dune."
