My human took the Little StarMonster to the vet today and it turns out vet´s can be smart and helpful! She said that Star can go up for adoption. I´m not laughing and skipping and clapping my hands yet. It´s going to stay with us for a bit until some friends come to meet It. It may always ...

I thought things were going really swimmingly after my vet visit and the lampshade incident. But there´s a little bundle of horror in my house. Her name is Starbright and she´s a FREAK. She runs around like there´s a rocket up her butt, and she humiliates the cat world by actually fetching! ...

Sophie´s little scary lump was indeed a harmless little fatty lipoma. She´s healing very well and doesn´t have to wear the Traffic Cone of Horror on her head anymore -and she gets her stitches out this week. Apparently such lipomas are very rare in cats (although common in dogs) so I´m ...

Poor Sophie - she had a small lump on her side that the vet recommended I have removed and tested. He´s fairly sure now it´s just a lipoma (little harmless fat deposit) but she still has stitches in her side for the next ten days. She was licking them this morning, so on went the dreaded ...

Sophie´s Human here. Sophie can be such a drama queen. And I know drama from years of working in theatre! She gets along better with the kittens than she´s willing to admit. It helps if I can get them not to pester her too much which isn´t easy cause they want to be her friend. They are ...

Okay this is what they both look like (although I think this is just the male one called Granite). But they both look alot like this to me.

Sigh. Okay these...ahem.."kittens" get into everything. It´s even too much for my human sometimes. The minute she makes a lap, they want in it. They insist on helping her on the computer. She can´t have a meal with them in the room cause one distracts her while the other tries to get onto ...

Okay I´d like to know in what universe these new monsters can be called "kittens". My human says they´re four months old which as far as I´m concerned means "almost full grown". They are a little bit sick so she has to give them medication and steam them in the bathroom. Both those things ...

My human was gone! For a long long time! And she came back! She said she "had a vacation" (which I think means "I had to desert my beloved companion"). So I had to follow her around for an hour last night and tell her how lonely I was. I´m not sure she was listening, but she did pat me loads ...

Hurray - I´m laughing and skipping and clapping my paws! My human took the little Shovel Foot Screech Monkey back to the shelter tonight because he´s big enough for SOMEONE ELSE to adopt him. In spite of the fact that this one was Ridiculously Loud, and Insanely Messy I think she got a bit ...

So just when I got used to having my own space back along with all my own stuff, another kitten shows up. My human says the shelter is slammed right now and it was either this one kitten, or a mom cat and 4 kittens. We don´t have room for mom cats (thank heavens my human agrees with me) but ...

Okay, they´ve gone from just not being funny to being Pure Evil. My human says it´s too hot here to have all the doors closed all the time (whatever - why doesn´t she just sleep more then it won´t bother her) and she lets them run around sometimes. Aargh. All 4 kittens were out today for ...

My human said something about wanting a laugh tonight, and she opened the bedroom door. The kittens live in the bedroom! That´s their space! My space is everywhere else! Next thing I know there are 4 kittens running around everywhere in MY SPACE. With their ridiculous little tails poking ...

I´m starting to suspect there´s something really odd about one of the foster kittens. He´s absurdly fast and I think he can be in two places at once. I keep catching glimpses of what looks like a blue cape. But I have to say, his purr is oddly...relaxing.

So the 4 foster kittens ...

Sophie here. More kittens. MORE kittens. 4 again - 3 boys and a girl. They´re loud and smelly. One of them doesn´t have a tail (how does he stay upright?). They all hide and one of them still hisses. She calls them the Kitten Mafia. Their names are Grey Carly, Sonny Short Socks, Ginger ...

Sophie has been waiting patiently all day for me to come home (long day at work) so I could write to all our friends and buddies and say thanks! We totally amazed and grateful that she was named COTW. We know that we join a long and awesome history of notable cats and will try to behave ...

And she actually thinks this one looks like me. A week ago my human brought home yet another stray kitten for fostering. Sheesh. This one was all skin and bones and fur, but he started to eat ALOT on the second day and is doing so well now he´s almost ready to go back to the Humane Society. ...

I´m overwhelmed and grateful for all the lovely comments from people thinking of little Bee and little Mouse. The last days of their lives were surely filled with more love, near and far, than they had for their first 4 weeks. I took them in because of how swamped the shelter is with kittens at ...

Sadly the little female kitten, Bee, was looking very poorly on Friday morning and I didn´t want to leave her alone all day when I was at work. So back to the shelter she went where they syringe fed her, and gave her subQ fluids for 24 hours, but she was too small and didn´t thrive. Little Bee ...

We had two little guests last night. Little 4 week old kittens from the Humane Society. The shelter has been overrun with kittens desperate for foster homes. The little boy kitten was all skin and bones. The little girl kitten is bigger (they weren´t litter mates - just sharing a cage) but ...
