Merry Christmas!

We're so happy to have met so many lovely people and kitties through fostering. Best wishes to all -- we count ourselves lucky to have you in our lives.

Well wishes for Sara

Miss Fuss in Boots is going to the vet today. According to her new mom, Sara's been vomiting, and she's still coughing, so it's time for a check-up and maybe a different remedy.


Yes, we know taking meds is no fun, Sara, but we all want you to get better! We're sending our love and our hopes for definitive answers.

Sara's settling in

"You want me to get in this thing? No way!"

(Sara's never liked being put in a carrier for car rides.)

But she made the trip home without too much protest, according to her new mom, Esther. Here's an update on Sara's first few hours at her place!

Sara protested the car ride the whole way, though not too loudly, so she was quite happy to get home. She was content in her kitty studio until she got a chance to slip out when the door was open and discovered the rest of the house. She immediately proceeded to explore every nook and cranny, questioning constantly the entire way. We think she was looking for you?

She expressed some shock when she met her big sister, Mona, who approached her quite cautiously. So Sara got some kitty timeout back in her studio. She was quite ready to come out after a few hours, but not wanting to leave her alone during the night, we moved her accommodations to our bedroom/bathroom. Of course, she immediately insisted on exploring everything and is indignant that the closet is off limits.

After an hour or so, she settled down, though she loves experimenting with various sleeping spots. We even got to snuggle under the covers a few times. This morning I introduced her to her personal kitty theater (our bedroom window ledge), which she loves.

Sara's still not over her kitty cold, so she'll be seeing her new vet shortly. Sending get-well wishes to you, little girl. And thanks, Esther, for the update!

We are leaving town for the holidays and will be posting with less frequency until January. But as soon as we're back, we'll be heading to the SHS for our next foster(s)! So please stay tuned.

More about Sara's happy beginning: her new parents picked her up this afternoon, and they've told us that there are many fleeces ready for Sara to burrow into at their place. There's also a big sister kitty who's been waiting for a companion to romp with. We're looking forward to updates as everyone settles in!

Psssst ...

Guess who's getting a family of her very own today?

I think you know, but Sara's too blissed out at the moment for me to disturb her with the news. Sweet dreams, little girl -- when you wake up, at least one of them will have come true!

Hey, did somebody lose a hat?

I do hear that red seems to be my color.


I wonder ...


What do you think?

Two laps are better than one

Sara is an equal-opportunity snuggler. On movie night, when Dieter and I are on the couch next to each other, she places herself so she's within reach of both of us and settles in for as long as we're there. Case in point: photo below. Sara's leaning on my knees while planting her warm little derriere on Dieter's legs.


Double the love indeed. Little girl, you are a clever one.
