Kittens!!

February 22, 2015 |

It’s been a while since we’ve posted. We’ve meant to post more updates, but somehow we’ve been up to our armpits in… KITTENS!!

After three long years without any fur-kids, we adopted two wonderful feral “trailer-trash” kittens in November, from Oasis for Animals on Whidbey Island.

baby kitten being bottle fed — *Tosh had a rough start to life, brought to the shelter at about 3-days old, dehydrated and emaciated. He was bottle-fed and imprinted on people, so he thinks he’s a human!*

Tosh (named after the Reggae artist Peter Tosh!) is a beautiful tabby boy and we think he’s part Bengal and part Siamese, as he has many Bengal characteristics, like chirping instead of meowing, and loving to play fetch – he’s also a BIG kitten, just look at those paws here at about 4 months old. And he’s a big talker like a Siamese.

woman snuggling kitten — *Heidi loves her new little snuggle-bunny Tikka! Her fur is as soft as a bunny too!*

Tikka is a lovely little tuxedo girl who’s about 6-weeks younger than Tosh. She loves to charm and keeps herself entertained by chasing her own tail, or anything else that looks like fun, including air molecules!

Here are a few more pix of these bundles of FUN, high-energy, innocent JOY! We are grateful to have found two kittens with such great personalities, and they are taking to boat-life so well.

kittens sleeping belly to belly — *Tosh & Tikka love each other as much as we love them – they regularly sleep all snugged up together – when they aren’t chewing on each other!*

We couldn’t be happier with our two new crew members and look forward to helping them get their sea legs soon. Meanwhile they “help” us with every boat project, sometimes too much help!
