On Tuesday, quarantine was up for our little Gibsons, and they were set free. Of course they were thrilled to get out of the confines of their room, and explore the rest of the house.
They love having the big rug in the living room to use as a wrestling mat, and all day long it's one match after another. It's endless entertainment for the kitten participants and the human audience too.
They've met Charlene, and are at ease with her. No huffing or puffing, hissing, or tails swishing.
Charlene perches, and watches them from the back of her favorite chair or the windowsill . On occasion, one of the Gibsons will come say hello to her and receive a few licks on their head.
The kittens were running wild and playing hard this morning, but now are all piled up under the bed. There's an air show today, and all the noise has everyone nervous.
And it's only going to get worse, once the fireworks begin.
They might be scared, but they'll be safe.
Please be sure all your critters are inside and safe too.
Release the houn....oh, er kittens!
ReplyDeleteI love to see Bean with the kittens. She is such a remarkable girl.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fourth to the humans and the kittens, and of course Butterbean too. I am chuckling at the vision of kittens wrestling.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the Gibson kittens are out of quarantine and doing well. We just caught 2 of the four that Ja Ja, our feral mom cat just had. They are about 8 weeks old. OMG Pics coming soon!! We hope to catch the other two tonight. Mom's goes for her hysterectomy in the morning if we catch her. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
ReplyDeleteso cute to see itty bitty next to big girl Bean, she is so sweet and gentle with the babes
ReplyDeleteSandy Sandy, good luck to you and bless you for your efforts. I seem only to (thankfully) get the the toms, which promptly go to the vets for blood work and neutering. Some move in permanently, others don't. Glad the newest batch get freedom on independence day... Or close to it. And to all your blog readers who have served, THANK YOU for your service. And thank you Laurie, Craig and 'Bean, for all you do for the little ones.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet picture of Charlene and Cedric on the windowsill!
ReplyDeleteEven funnier...Laurie tagged this picture as Phoena!!!
I tagged it Pheona, because it is Pheona.
DeleteWeird...looks like she is solid color to me...even after tilting my laptop screen, looking at the shot of flickr
DeleteSorry
Scrolling down the list of contributors is wonderful. All took the time to contribute for the love of you, your work and the cats in their lives.
ReplyDeleteawww.... what a great picture of Charlene and Pheona!
ReplyDeleteDue to the storm on Sunday we had power failures this week. The county was declared a disaster area and the fireworks last night got canceled. Power came back yesterday morning so we're keeping cool. But many people in this town are still without power.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it half way to your goal!
What a sweet picture. PURRFECT! purrs
ReplyDeleteYou painted such a lovely word picture of the babies all wrestling all day on the living room rug. Did you by any chance manage to get any video? It's always so nice to not only imagine the fun the kittens are having, but to actually see it!
ReplyDeleteSorry, didn't take a movies.
DeleteFreedom and the Bean!

Thanks for letting me know! I just sent them a note requesting a proper credit.
DeleteI posted a comment on that Purina FB post telling them to credit you and I included a link to IBKC. Purina needs to make a donation for their image heisting!
DeletePurina should apologize, give you credit, and make one big donation to the fundraiser.
