Mommy, I love you

Bad Mommy!

How bad is it that I forgot to put up pics and details about our most recent addition to the family??? OfficeKitten, otherwise known as Bastien….and yes, all the children in the house, two legged or four have B names. Deal with me. I’m a writer. And no, I have no idea why…if I have a daughter? Her name will be Briana Nicole…or Brie for short…something in my brain..I’m on a B kick, it’s twisted…LOL

You need a change here, here and here.

Back to Bastien, he’s about 8 months old now, short fur, hearty appetite, loud meow when he’s hungry, missing me or wants out…Pup and I picked him up from the local shelter at 8 weeks. He had a slight hernia…I almost put him back. Pup was having NONE  of it. Wise child. We weren’t planning on bringing home another furball so close to bringing Bella (Ki-Ki is her nickname) home. Hell, Bijoux was FINE with her. But, if Bella gets out, she needs a protector….I didn’t think Bijoux (B as I call her) would step up to the task….and then, introduce male kitten? War breaks out on the house. *sighs*

He’s gonna be a big boy….and he is SUCH a momma’s boy, proven by the fact that most of his pics are of him ON MY DESK…or curled up next to me…..He loves my desk, my lap, and anything I’m trying to eat. Don’t open a bag of shredded cheese….he KNOWS the sound. He’ll claw you for it! He will climb up the frig too. He wants out in the early am…and then, wants to cuddle and tell me ALL about it when he comes back in. If I am sitting at my desk, he’s right here with me. Sometimes, he’s trying to edit..and he has, in fact, killed a keyboard or two already. He’s gotten in trouble for paws on screen too

He’s fearlessly stupid as my husband calls him. He’ll go after the girls with no thought of safety…he’ll charge out the door after the crows who are STILL bigger than he is.

I can’t wait to see how he grows. He’s so adorable and loveable, I can only get mad at him when he’s killing a plant. Or meowing his fool head off way earlier than I am ready to get up.

Pretty in sleep

I usually wait a few months (ok…sometimes like maybe TWO) before adding to the feline family…but we were all really missing Gabe and feeling like Baby Bijoux needed company.

Nick and I were both thinking big male Maine Coon…we came home with small, gray and a lady.

So, welcome to Belle or Bella as pup has been singing around the house all night. She is allowed to wander the house when Bijoux is out. We need to introduce them slowly to each other. Although, I think Belle will adapt quickly having come from a house with lots of other pets. Baby B….well, she’s used to being princess, so it may take her a little while.

Accordingly, Baby B is out hunting in the suddenly cold weather we’re having, and Belle is curled up sound asleep on my lap while I’m working (she just fits too LOL). She’s snoring slightly too because of the rasp she’s picked up from being in the shelter for two weeks. And, I’ve learned she’s missing her front claws….so her outside time is going to be limited. (May have to get that big brother for the girls after all…..)

She was quiet the entire ride home. I’ve never had a quiet cat in the car. The only time she talks is when she’s displeased about being left in the laundry room on her own. Hey, I would be too, but…the household intros have to go slowly.

I’d add more pictures, but the camera is in the other room, and she’s sleeping rather contentedly on my lap. She’s so no signs of moving any time soon either. Stay posted…I’ll have more pictures of both the baby B’s soon!
