Thank you to everyone for all your good advice on handling two very active kittens at Christmas time. We decided, that for this year only, we would put the tree on the porch, where we could control the climbing into and under it. Actually, the only thing that was broken was an ornament that I dropped while decorating the tree!
Mimsey and Nigel have been pure enjoyment for us! They are constantly wrestling and chasing each other, and then they disappear and take a long nap.
Of course, Santa (as well as Mamma Laurie and Charlene) were very good to them. They have a basket-full of sparkling new toys that squeak and bounce. By far their favorite toy is a nice gift box that Laurie sent her dad, that he cut holes into the top and sides. What fun this is to hide from each other and us!
They are sleeping much later in the morning. We have been leaving the door to their room open, so we are not sure what they are doing at night, but they are quiet, and we usually find them either in their little beds or in ours.
You would be amazed at how much bigger they are getting! They are so sweet and such good company. Right now they are experiencing their first white Christmas. I'm not sure what they think when they look out the widow, except I know they love to watch the cardinals that come to our feeders. The closest to snow that they have come is what gets tracked in on our boots!
Thank you to everyone who were so supportive of our adoption. These little darlings have brought so much happiness to our lives! Merry Christmas everyone! Sharon
Oh Nigel you were and still are the cute one!!! I can see he's getting bigger too!!
ReplyDeleteOh what beautiful photos of those two precious babies! They sound perfectly spoiled (as well they and all kitties should be). What a happy first white Christmas for these two and their new mom and dad.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I have a serious case of gorgeous door envy.
ReplyDeleteOh! How sweet! Merry Christmas to all! Love the first picture, it could be a Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteNigel and Mimsey are growing up to be really beautiful kitties!
ReplyDeleteYay update on the Frosts! They look so happy and adorable as ever. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your parents' place Laurie...warm-hearted and stylish!! ;)
Thanks for the updates on the Bartletts and Charlene's first meeting. Georgie's crush is too cute!!
When I saw the first pic, I thought to myself "how sweet! Dave and Sharon decorated the house to match the kittens!" Altogether beautiful - kittens, house, and decorations.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness look how big they are getting! So great to get this update - what a Happy Christmas they had. :)
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so happy! The kitties are so beautiful and so spoiled. All's right with the world!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year to Sharon and Dave and Mimsey and Nigel!
THANK YOU for the perfect report and photos!
I love the obvious joy in your Mom's emails, Laurie. The kittens are adorable, but then everyone knew that, and I love your Dad made them a toy out of the gift box.
ReplyDeleteMimsey does look especially frosty and beautiful with your Mom's tree. So very nice of her to decorate with her in mind...lol. What a great update! We love those wee little ones!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Jenna's Mom
I agree with Teughcats - I too thought Mimsey & Nigel were nicely complemented by the tree & mantel decor!
ReplyDeleteSuch joy in the email, it makes me feel very pleased for the Frosts and your folks.
Sigh!
Oh, those were just wonderful! What a happy match for all of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and update!!! Those two kittens are just too cute for words -- I am totally bowled over by their adorableness!!!
ReplyDeleteNigel and Mimsey are such beautiful little kittens! Thank you so much for the updates!
ReplyDeleteI've done the same thing with boxes for my 2 younger cats.. cutting doors, windows and secret flaps and it's been great fun watching them play in it. Now that they're bigger I need a bigger box.
ReplyDeleteThese two have definitely hit the kitty jackpot when they got Laurie's parents for their furever parents!
Wonderful pictures...it's great that your Dad thought to make the box into an activity centre, rather than recycle it straight away. Kittens are like children, the box is always more fun than the contents >^..^<
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the wonderful update and lovely photos, Sharon and Dave (and Laurie)! It's always a delight to see those cute little faces again and hear about their new adventures. Mimsey and Nigel are so adorable, and I'm glad the whole family is so happy!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh they are gorgeous!! I'm so glad you adopted them Sharon, you will have enjoyment for years to come, and friends for life!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, thanks much for the update.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! The kittens are growing so fast that they'll soon outgrow that box toy their dad made for them... good thing boxes are cheap!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, everyone!
Thank you for the update on these sweet little kittens! They are so lucky to be with your parents, where they are obviously well loved and very well cared for. And seriously, could those kittens be cuter?
ReplyDeleteSharon, reading your updates is like getting a letter from my beloved aunties. They were newsy, informative, full of warmth and the kind of details that made me want to read and re-read them over and over.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that these include pictures of your adorable kittens makes them indescribably delicious! Thank you!!
Those pics are awesome !!! So cute !
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful update and such beautiful photos. :sigh:
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your mom's letter and pics. Who would guess these are their 1st kittens given the love and box they have! Nigel looks to become a Very Handsome Boy! Mimsie is adorable!
ReplyDelete*sigh* Iz happy!
ReplyDeleteI love Mimsey and Nigel so much. I wish your mom would make a blog about them too! *.*
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy little christmas!
They have the MOST adorable little faces! I <3 them!
ReplyDeleteNow it doesn't get any better than that!!!! Thanks for the update and thanks to your parents for giving these two such a wonderful home.
ReplyDeleteHurray for updates!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful... the kittens, the house, the Christmas decorations, and the wonderfully loving descriptions!
I'm so happy to see these with your parents.
Thank you for the update on Nigel and Mimsey. They are growing so fast! Nice decorations by the way. Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas.
