And tabby makes two

This pretty kitty would like her turn to meet you too. Say hello, sweetie --


Er ...


Hmm, one moment --


There we go.

Well, here's a first

... kitty, that is. Yep, there will be multiple introductions this time! We'll reveal names shortly, we promise. But first, this cuddly little girl wanted to meet you on her very own.

Ahem!

Life chez Kittitas has been more than a little chaotic post-trip, but it's official again: Leslie has an appointment this Friday to pick up a new guest from the SHS! We have no idea who it will be, but we're very excited to meet our foster kitty. (Can't tell you how much other foster blogs have been sustaining us while we've been without our own charge -- check out the folks in our blogroll if you haven't stopped by yet!)

Stay tuned for introductions as soon as we can get pictures. And now, off to put our foster room in order ...

Head over to The Crazy Cat Lady's place

... and give some love to her and the little kitty family she's fostering. They could use some good wishes after their loss. (Click the link above for the story; a permanent link to the blog is in our blogroll at right.)

Thinking of you, kittykye, Rosie, and babies all.

Home again

... and playing catch-up.

I'm back from my trip and hoping to get a new foster soon, but some unexpected events chez Kittitas require our attention first. So to make sure Dieter and I can do right by our next guest, we're going to hold off on running down to the SHS just yet. We hope you understand.

For now, some shots of our fosters thus far, doing what they do best!

Jada: "Out of my way! I know somebody just opened that fridge!"

Sara: "What, you've never seen a cat climb this rig before?"

Missy: "Just a little closer, birdie, come on ... "

Much love from us to these girls.

Outtakes

Our fosters don't always make themselves easy to photograph, but going after a good shot sometimes gives us the chance to try experiencing the world from a kitty's point of view.

When I was trying to catch Missy on top of the laundry room cabinets, I just couldn't get a good angle on her face from below.


So, I thought, why not kneel on top of the dryer?

Hmm, problem: still not tall enough to use the viewfinder. But I can hold the camera over my head and hope I'm aiming in the right place ...


Er, not quite. How about this?


Over to the right a little more ...


Gah, out of focus! Come on, camera ...


Almost ...


Over here, Missy ...


Ah HA!

Okay, now how do I get down from here? Gulp.

I've always been impressed by our kitties' climbing abilities, but by the time I was done, I had a new appreciation for how effortless they make it look.

I am queen of all I survey

Now, after all the paparazzi action I've allowed on this fine paw, don't you think you ought to kiss it?
