This morning while I was mopping the floor in the bedroom- Ms. Pumpkin was chasing the mop! Both of her eyes are open, although she still squints with her right eye. I was smiling as she attacked the monster mop with great vigor!  I don’t know if her eyes will STAY opened. That has been the challenge all along. So far the longest that both eyes have stayed open has only been for a 12 hour period.

The new Siamese mom is getting spayed today. They did indeed confirm my suspicions that she was pregnant. The other kittens are still in the barn and there are so many hiding spots out there. But at least they are warm in the hay and they can’t get outside. It dropped to 27 degrees last night! I welcomed the early frost because finally, now the outdoor cats mating cycle will slowly grind to a halt.

The little captured kitty- the gray one is so darn cute but so unsocial. The kitten did allow me to pet the soft fur this morning and pick up quite briefly before going ballistic. They look like long-haired Russian Blues- not a Siamese in the lot!
