Kitten Sam and Kitten Beau Updates...It's Nap Time

[joeybee12]

As you can see, they're both doing well, both love Ashley, and the feeling is mutual. Beau is very shy, and it took a 3-day weekend of attention to get him to not run from me. I think it's because he was older when I got him, and therefore without human contact longer. He's very sweet, though, never uses his claws at all and is back to purring when I do hold him. No sign of the upper respiratory on either, so knock on wood they're both completely over that.

1. You have such a

sweet and beautiful kitty family

I'm glad they're all doing well.

[joeybee12]

4. Thanks...

They all adjusted to each other quickly.

I have a fourth, India, who is almost 19...she tolerates them, but wants to be mainly left alone!

2. The kittens are adorable! So glad they're both doing so well.

None of the three look like they have a care in the world--and that's the only way it should ever be for them!

Thanks for the pics and the update!!

[joeybee12]

5. Yup, they've got it made...

I think they know it, too, especially Sam and Ashley who really are affectionate with me.

[CatWoman]

3. I love to see them all knocked out like that

[joeybee12]

6. Play, eat, sleep, poop, repeat...such a life!

[City Lights]

7. So adorable!

Glad the URI is gone!

[joeybee12]

35. Thanks...I'm really glas Sam is over it...

She's clearly the runt of the litter...I don't think she'll be a big cat.

8. Congrats on the babies! I'm getting a wee one this week to keep my 1 year-old, Sammy,

company and to take the pressure off my poor 18 year-old, Nigel. The kitten is the baby of a stray a friend of a co-worker rescued. He is 7 weeks old. I can't wait. Sammy is in for a surprise, LOL!

[joeybee12]

11. Lucky Sammy!

He'll love him...Ashley is a year and a half and really needed a playmate, now he has 2!

[Greybnk48]

9. Sweet, thanks. n/t

[joeybee12]

19. Any time!

[shenmue]

10. Too cute!

Awwwwwwww.

[joeybee12]

43. Thanks!

[forestpath]

12. Soooooo cute.

[joeybee12]

42. Thanks!

[calimary]

13. So sweet! Love these! Thanks for posting them, joeybee12!

[joeybee12]

40. Glad you like them, someone apparently doesn't...

Was told the next one needs to go to the Lounge, where it'll die!

[hrmjustin]

14. Adorable my friend! Are you keeping both kittens?

[joeybee12]

20. Yes...I originally thought I'd adopt Beau out...

But the others took to him quickly, and vice-versa, so what the hey!

[hrmjustin]

21. That is great my friend! I got 5 cats and I am thankful every day for them.

[cali]

15. I love your kitty progress posts.

they're just lovely.

[joeybee12]

22. Thanks!

[cali]

28. You're welcome! Just keep 'em coming

I've become rather invested in Sam and Beau (particular soft spot for Sam)

[joeybee12]

41. Got an e-mail...apparently people have complained...

So the next one needs to go to the Lounge!

[AgingAmerican]

16. It's like an invasion of Tribbles

n/t

[joeybee12]

50. I think that's a good thing...

[AgingAmerican]

62. The world can always use a bit more fuzziness!

Glad to see the Kitteh's have all settled in.

[Cleita]

17. Thanks for a story with a happy ending.

I'm so happy the furry purrys are doing so well considering their sickly start in life.

[joeybee12]

27. I'm glad they made it...Sam clearly was the runt of the litter...

She's growing, but not as much as Beau!

[warrior1]

18. that is so sweet

I so happy they get along so well. Thanks for sharing.

[joeybee12]

24. Any time!

[rl6214]

23. Looking good.

You are doing a great thing.

[joeybee12]

25. Problem is...

There are 2 more litters in different locations I've come across...I've go to start making some phone calls before I catch them...no room!

[rl6214]

29. That's too bad

We have a house just behind ours and the lady 13 cats and 17 kittens living in the backyard, feeding them by dumping a bag of dog food out her window every so often. Over a weeks time we were able to catch all of them. We had all of the adults fixed, found two dead kittens, had to have one put down but were able to find homes for the rest. One of them we have now a year and a half later. She's best friends with our three year old female German Shepherd.

[joeybee12]

32. Glad one of them made it...one of the litters, they're about 4 weeks old...

I caught the Mom and had her fixed a week ago, and as they did her, they realized she was lactacting, so she went back sooner than the normal recovery period, so while having so many kittens isn't good, I'm glad this group was old enough to make it while she was gone for about a day and a half.

[narnian60]

38. So glad that people like you

and Joeybee are out there helping animals in need. THANK YOU!

[joeybee12]

44. It's kind of funny, but once you start looking around for stray cats...

You really see how many there are...they can hide well, but you start realizing where you should look...I guess it's not funny, but sad, really.

[Granny M]

26. Glad to hear they are doing so well. nt

[joeybee12]

52. I know...it's really nice to see them playing and happy.

[get the red out]

30. So precious!!!!!!

Nothing sweeter than kittens, yours are very cute!

[joeybee12]

55. Thanks!

[matt819]

31. Holy cow!

These guys are (almost) as cute as my kitties. Not to sound too much like a pollyanna, we humans can learn a thing or two from our feline friends.

[joeybee12]

33. Yup...they get along really well...

That's certainly one thing we can learn from them!

[LadyHawkAZ]

34. Squee!

Precious kitties!

[joeybee12]

54. They really are precious...

Although Sam is already a trouble-maker, but she's so cute causing trouble!

[LadyHawkAZ]

57. Getting into trouble is a kitten's job!

The cuter the better!

[joeybee12]

58. Yup...

So I guess we could say she's a quick learner!

[MuseRider]

36. I knew it!

I knew you would be the perfect place to heal that little guy. Adorable, they all seem very happy with each other. Are you keeping him?

[joeybee12]

45. Yeah, since he gets along so well with the others...

One more is no big deal!

[MuseRider]

49. :-) n/t

[Brigid]

37. One big happy family!

[joeybee12]

48. They love each other!

[Arugula Latte]

39. I'm so glad you're keeping Beau!

They are an adorable family! *heart melts*

Good on ya!

[joeybee12]

46. Thanks!

[Arugula Latte]

70. Also, I love how you can see the tabby stripes on some "all-black" kitties like Sam.

So pretty!

[joeybee12]

73. I know...it depends on the light

She's turning very affectionate, although she is also a big troublemaker...

[Call Me Wesley]

47. Wonderful!

Thank you so much for rescuing!

[joeybee12]

51. Thanks...

And thanks for the pm's..

[Lizzie Poppet]

53. Lucky kitties...and even luckier human!

Once again, a thread that put a huge smile on my face!

[joeybee12]

56. I'm glad it did!

[leftyladyfrommo]

59. Yea! I kept watching for an update. n/t

[joeybee12]

66. Probably my last...future ones will have to go to the Lounge

Apparently some people wanted it locked!

[leftyladyfrommo]

68. Ohfor heaven's sake. That's ridiculous.

It's really nice to have some good news for the day. The rest is usually so awful.

[joeybee12]

69. That's my point...I like pet/animal posts...

A brief respite from the craziness here in GD!

[Phentex]

60. They are all doing a good job with

their lounging skills.

Enjoy them!

[joeybee12]

64. It's what they do best!

[Skittles]

61. stop....stop.....yer killing me

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[joeybee12]

65. Death by sweetness overload

[MotherPetrie]

63. What great pictures. They are so precious!

[joeybee12]

67. Thanks!

[GoCubsGo]

71. Nice to see that they are all getting along so well.

Especially Big Kitteh. Not all all older cats take so kindly to kittens invading their lives.

[joeybee12]

72. He took to them right away...ever since he was a kitten

he'd see another cat outside (I fede quite a few strays/ferals) and he'd run and try to play, even with the big mean Toms...then I'd have to go grab him and bring him inside.
