Melons - Two Weeks
I just finished updating the website with the Melons two week photos. Insert usual whining about how I hate to take pictures of two, three, and four week old kittens… 
Sondra is continuing to have issues with her computer, so although she has taken the eight weeks pictures of the Warrior Kittens, she is unable to send them to me. So as soon as I have them, I’ll get them posted and let you know.
A little bit of Melon Madness over the weekend… I was cleaning Ken’s and my bedroom when her came Kali, carrying Charlie (Charentais) and deposited him in my closet. Taiba was playing with her crinkle ball in the bathtub and came to see what all the commotion was about. Kali had a little chat with her daughter and left the room. Taiba stretched herself out in the closet next to Charlie and proceeded to get acquainted. Notice she brought her toy with her in case he wanted to play.
Next Taiba gave her little brother a kiss.
And as all good babysitters do, she made sure to check to see if his bottom needed to be cleaned.
Over the next ten minutes or so, Kali came back twice to make sure Taiba was taking proper care of Charlie and, apparently being satisfied, then went back across the hall to the other babies. Eventually Charlie got hungry and started complaining loudly.
I picked him up to take him back to Kali and as I walked off, Taiba was running at my feet meowing as loudly as Charlie, “Put him down! Bring him back! I’LL take care of him!” But I thought it was better to give him back to his mother so he could eat.
I wondered if this was the first of the latest round of moving kittens — deciding they needed to be in my closet — but Kali still has them all in the guest room closet for now. Probably when I get back from Texas next week I’ll move them into the kennel in our bedroom. Time to start spending more time with them and getting them used to the normal commotion of a household.

Taiba is so beautiful. Such a great big sister!
My Licorice leaves those same toys all over the house, along with these little hairy mice and feather teasers (he has 7 that he deposits all over daily) and these little things that look like milk bottle tops but aren’t . I have a little basket I put his toys in each morning after I have combed the house and picked them all up from his favorite places. Usually there is 9 or 10 under our bed each morning not to mention the ones on and in our blankets with us. When we leave and leave him home alone he deposits them all at the front door on the rug. You know he is just saying “Mom, I want to play - come back here! I know you went out this way!” He also leaves them at the garage door if we leave thru the garage.
