When introduced to the rest of the house, kittens alway do the exact same thing - they cautiously proceed with their nose to the ground. They sniff out all the corners, check out the perimeter, then lurk under the furniture. Once they've decided it's safe, the run wild.
FREEDOM!
They sure have been enjoying themselves.
Now that they're out and about, they've been spending a lot more time with Bean, and have been getting to know her a little better. No more puffing-up or hissing like they did on the first day - they are plenty comfortable around her now.
Bean has won their trust.
Awww ... those cute little kits are adorable, as is Bean! xx
ReplyDeletePic 2 and three. Bean abd mini me Bean soo cute :)
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of Bean sharing her sparkle ball. :)
ReplyDeleteThey're more adorable now that they're adventurers.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the extra adorable treat of seeing Bean's sweet white toes and toe fluff. She is gorgeous.
Aw, Bean's giving the Lamms sparkle ball lessons!! And sit-on-the-windowsill lessons too!
ReplyDeleteThere's no one more qualified than Bean to give kittens those lessons!
DeleteThey're so tiny! I love seeing three of them on a window sill all at once. That couldn't happen at our house, I'm afraid. We're all way too big!
ReplyDeleteZelda is looking more and more like a baby Bean! I wonder if she will take on similar dark coloring like her auntie.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that the Lamms are getting along with Charlene now - but I knew it was only a matter of time!
Bean and Mini-Bean! <3
ReplyDeleteI like the picture with Bean on the "tower" because at least some part of all the Lamms are in shot if you look hard enough. It's like "Where's Waldo?" but with Lamms....
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool...I did not notice it at first!
DeleteBean the Queen!
So cute...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the Bean gets to play with the babies now!
ReplyDelete"Now, see, Edna, this is the way to play with a sparkle ball. Roll over and show your chin for maximum cuteness."
ReplyDeleteYou should keep little Zelda, she and Bean look so good together. Love that inverted sparkly ball picture!
ReplyDeleteThey are just adorable. I love the pic with Bean on the window sill with one of them looking up.
ReplyDeleteOnce the kits have free roam of the house, how much longer do they get to stay with you?
ReplyDeleteLoving Miss Bean's toe floofs! Any more kitten crunchies for her to munch?
ReplyDeleteYou have the perfect window for cats, though I think the kittens are eyeing your blinds; that would be fun times, attacking the blinds. Bean is luxurious!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, beanie teaching the joys of the sparkleball! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteThe last one is adorable. Charlene is trying to get them to play with her. How cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking there must be a long waiting list for these little Lamms!
ReplyDeleteImpossibly cute.
So adorable! Will their eyes change color soon? Or are they set at the gorgeous blue?
ReplyDeleteI think those with blue eyes still, will probably remain blue.
DeleteI love the photos of La Bean and mini Bean!
ReplyDeleteThat last pik has distinct shades of "It's *my* sparkly ball, kid. Mine. Oh, I know you see it there, and I know you have a mind to play with it, but ask yourself this: "do I feel lucky?"
ReplyDeleteWell, do you, kid?
Nice to see they're finally aware Bean has no plans to devour them alive (probably because she doesn't want to be bothered picking their fur out from between her teeth ;D). I love the last pic of her and one of the Lamms.
ReplyDeleteAdorable little fluffy Lamms!
ReplyDeleteI want to rub that sweet little white spot on Charlene's chin. Would she let me, I wonder?

ReplyDeleteHey, Laurie! Any tips on introducing two cats to each other? I've been following your blog for a while now, and see you talk about it all the time, so I thought I'd see if I couldn't get some expert advice. :D We had a stray cat come by who seems to want to join our home, so once we know that he's feline lukemia-free, we're going to introduce him to our cat, Pippin. They're both males, Pippin is about 4 and the vet said our stray is probably 1 or 2. We're calling the stray Oliver, and he's pretty skinny from his time out and about in the world. We're a little nervous about introducing them, so I thought I'd see if there was anything you knew of, that we could do to make this safer/easier. :) I'd appreciate any advice you could give!
ReplyDeleteI volunteer at the Tacoma shelter, and the advice I always give folks is to give newbie his own room for a few days. So he'll need his own litter box and food bowls, and of course, lots of snuggles. It's best to have the room somewhere that resident cat can hang out outside of. You can also feed each cat yummy treats on their side of the door. And bring newbie's blanket out to where resident can smell it, and vice versa. Best to take lots of time and have a lot of patience. Your goal should be mutual ignoring, not snuggle pals. Good luck!
DeleteThanks! We've had him in our bathroom for the weekend, but I never thought that would help introduce them. I'll definitely try the blanket idea! Thanks, again. :D
DeleteSound advice, Sarah. They only thing I would add is pay attention to their body language. If they're showing signs of stress, slow it down.
Deletethat cat scratch post is very nice. where did you get it? i have been looking for one tasha cant pull over on herself.
ReplyDeleteIt was a gift, so I'm not sure where it came from.
DeleteI am amazed at how spotless and cute your house always looks.
ReplyDeleteYou have great taste!
HA! Thanks. It's not spotless. I just don't let any spots get in the photos. It's all an illusion !
DeleteI am about to adopt a little boy kitty who looks exactly like Bean did when she was four weeks old. It's really uncanny. He's in foster care with his three brothers and one sister for another week or so until their surgeries.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to bring him home!
Oh, such babes! ...and those clear blue eyes...SQUEEEEE!
ReplyDeletexo Katie & Glogirly
Anybody else obsessively checking for a new post? La-La Laurie, I need more La-La-Lamms! >^..^<
