well, we are into day 3 almost with the kitten. we named her isobel cash (because of her johnny cash-like pompadour) which will likely end up being izzy or belle. i liked belle a lot, but this is the best of both worlds, i reckon. she is doing well, eating regularly, pooping big smelly runny kitten poops (to her chagrin…she screams and flails and is humiliated) and sleeping lots. i have a fuzzy hat i knitted a while ago that i used as a place to sleep in for her, and then inside of the little dog carrier bag we used for pavel, and then she peed on it, so i used a little dog sweater that i made as a prototype to put her in which she is all wrapped up in. she tries to search for a nipple in the fuzz of it every so often. cute. i found two fleas on her the first night, and i swear i saw one today, but then i couldn’t find it with the flea comb. anyone know any natural flea remedies that would be okay for a 2 week old kitty? here is one more for your pleasure…
as for the other cats, kahlo, who normally sleeps on me all night long…okay, anytime i am reclining, slept downstairs. she never does that ever. peeps laid on the bed but was peeved. pavel slept in the closet and is terrified of the kitten. he is terrified of everything, though. this afternoon kahlo came in and laid down on my waist, which is something, although she kept hissing. i feel guilty. here is a photo of k, so that she is involved. she is my best fuzzy friend, she is always there for me when i am sad or sick or…okay, just all the time. she is a sweet girl.
jake is absolutely enamored with this little baby. it is hard not to be. she smells of that baby animal milky smell. awwww.
otherwise, nothing. i have gotten nothing done. i had to get up every couple of hours for the kitten, so i woke up with a whopper of a headache. hopefully to-morrow will be better. it also POURED most of the day, as it has for the last week or so. i actually love the rain, although i know in lots of areas of the state people are out of house and home due to bad flooding. i wonder if i would still love the rain in those circumstances.
i reckon that is about all for now…

she’s the cutest thing. sighs. looking forward to watching her “grow up.” hee.
hope you’re not too sleep deprived! how’re the peaks coming along? they’re funky cool lookin.
Your new kitten is adorable! Your other kitties should get used to her, I’ve had my cat for over 10 years and a year ago we decided to bring a new kitten home. And then shortly after that we found a stray by a dumpster in a thunderstorm. So now we have three kitties and though at first they wouldn’t go near each other, now they are playing with and cleaning each other and then all sleeping in the same chair. Good luck with the new kitty! She’s lucky she found such a good home.
Cute new baby! I haven’t been keeping up with your blog because I can’t see it at work for some reason, and I rarely get on the comp at home, but I thought I’d check in with you. We were hit by that flooding… what, three weeks ago now. And yes, I used to love the rain but it scares the crap out of me now. It was just our basement, but there were rapids in my backyard. Seriously terrifying even though it could have been worse.
Sorry for the book, hope you’re well!

aw thanks nomes! i am on the most bizarre sleep schedule, i have to feed her every 2=3 hours and it usually takes about an hour and a half to feed her and poop her and get her back to sleep because she is fussy, but she is really a sweetie. i am still working on the BIIIIG striped child thingy which is almost done and then i will probably do a big peak. like 5 feet tall or more.
yj, yeah, i hope that they all get along. as it is now, all of our cats don’t like/hate each other and fight all the time. i have had lots of cats and actually only 2 of them really ever got along well. we will see!
emily, i hear ya! i am soooo behind on blogs that i don’t keep up with really any. i have more than 200! i have this same stuff on lj…it is just luxefibre if that helps.
flooding is a scary thing. i know pittsburgh got hit really hard. rememeber when there were all of those super high winds and we had a huge hole in the side of our house? crazy! we have had basement flooding, too, but our basement is gross anyway. we live in a hilly area, so if we flooded bad, it would mean that the end of the world was coming!
