They sure are growing up fast! They are getting into more trouble, climbing up on things and eating everything in sight.
They are big enough (and litter box trained enough!), to venture out into the big house! But there are a lot of nice things to get into and knock over, so barriers have been put up to block off access until they are a little bigger.
So much more to get into now!!
The kittens had a vet appointment to check their health and make sure they were A-OK after the transition from outside in the backyard to the inside of the house. Misty, the big sister, weighed 1.5 lbs and Scout weighed 1.2 lbs. They did have some parasites but overall they are happy and healthy!
They continue to chase things on sticks but have learned that boxes are extremely fun to play in!
They also love to play in the folds of the bedspread. Misty had been the aggressor at first, but Scout seems to be the one to hunt Misty down lately.
And they are still the cutest little baby kittens!
I was lucky enough to get fireworks two days in a row this year! Chesterfield county does them at the fairgrounds so I watched those on the 4th. There is also a fireworks show downtown on the 3rd, but because of the threat of the tropical storm, they postponed the show until the 5th.
These are from the 4th.
I have never seen the show downtown and thought the war memorial would be a good place to see them, but I left the house too late and the bridges were closed off, so I went to the floodwall, which is under one of the bridges. I didn’t know where the fireworks would actually be coming from and the bridge definitely ended up getting in the way (that’s the black bar in some of the shots). But I now know the memorial will probably be a good vantage point, I’ll just need to leave early next time.
Scout and Misty’s personalities are starting to come through more and more. Scout is still scouting things out, but she is a little more mellow than her out-of-control sister! Misty must have springs in her feet; she is constantly jumping, bucking and running around! She particularly likes chasing after Scout and wrestling her down. These shots were from last week when they were roughly 5 to 6 weeks old. They learned how to chase and leap on things attached to sticks!
