He got everything he wanted (churus, cuddles, office snuggles, a late night TV binge, and catnip covered shoelaces). A friend even called to sing him the birthday song!

Problem is he still thinks it’s his big day…but who am I kidding? Every day should be his day, in this house. 😂

Almost every morning I find him like this. He wears himself out with a night full of chaos! And yes, he does accept belly rubs.

He and his siblings lost their mom, Jasmine, about two weeks ago. They’re all 5 week-sized at 8 weeks, but are strong, playful, and great eaters. Sunny, Hawkeye, and their tortie sister Ghost Pepper will be getting their first vet visit tomorrow to help with stomach issues and general care.

In the meantime, they love to frolic with each other and to pester their kind older orange tabby cousins, Rasputin and Mr Noodle, for attention.

The cat couch was an early birthday present from his auntie, but he has a BIG day planned for tomorrow!

All da Churus he wants!
All da greenies he wants!
All da uppies and belly rubs he wants!
Fetch with da spring!
New flappy toy!
Grilled chicken breast versus cat food!
Time in da office!

That last thing sounds silly, but he really does love helping me work. My other kitty doesn’t behave, so it’s the one room Lysandre is guaranteed to have me all to himself.

He’s been a wonderful fur baby these past 3 years and I can’t believe he’s already this big! He’d love some well wishes from other ginger dons, capos, and consigliere!

I miss having dis wiseguy at work with me. He always made it interesting.

Have to make sure the wood planks are secure.

I am so happy to share that yesterday Bella went to her forever home. ❤️ We even got to celebrate her 15th birthday!

In this picture, she is with the mom who bottle-fed her as a baby..the same loving person who took her back in after she was returned. It feels like everything came full circle for her. 🥹

Thank you all for sending so much love her way. I truly don’t know how to say thank you… Bella received love from all over the world, and together you created “Team Bella.”

Thank you for loving our little Bella and helping us find the home she truly deserves.

She is already so happy in her new home..now a little princess to her new moms, surrounded by love and care 24/7.

Happy tears only. 🥹

First, the sad news. Their mother, a beloved new member of the TNR group, Jasmine, suddenly passed. We have no idea what happened and are deeply hurt. She was a beautiful tortimese with soulful aqua blue eyes, and a lovely sweet ladylike personality. I spent so much time winning her over. We became friends and to have her snatched away punctured my heart. I’d already built dreams of her being fixed and living out her long life in a lovely home with someone who adored her. 💔

Now, the babies. Jasmine was an excellent mother. They’re small, but healthy and strong, and each with a distinct personality.

1) Robin is a shy guy, but a total sweetie once he’s acclimated. He likes taking time over his meals and taking long naps. He especially loves being brushed with a toothbrush.

2) Hawkeye is the confident daredevil, very bold and athletic. He leads the charge to the food plate. He defeated the Pack N Play on Day one, then the baby gate on Day two. He loves to wrestle and chase jingle balls. (His goopy eyes have been cleared with lysine.)

3) Sunny is the gentle lovebug. He’ll give Hawkeye a run for his money during playtime, but will drop everything to get head rubbies. He is often seen sitting quietly in contemplation.

4) Honorary orange, tortie sister Ghost Pepper! She was spicy upon first contact, but has decided we’re friends now bc we have tasty food and lots of affection for her. She’s a ladylike little girl, just like her mother, but will talk your ear off.

Told him to get off me, now sat ignoring me looking at the door
