Up, Over, and Awaaaaaay!
You might be able to guess from the title of tonight’s post that I have a little escape artist on my hand. Now I know I said it was Pepino who was the first to start climbing the gate — and he was. But he gave up before getting to the top and he hadn’t yet figured out that is the key to his freedom. But Galia did.
This morning the visited with the babies while I was getting ready for work. They were eating, playing, attacking my toes (ow!), and having a great time. Then I stepped over the gate and went out to the bedroom to put on my shoes. Galia decided she needed to be out there, too. So up the gate she went. Once she reached the top, she started down the other side, dropping (or falling — it’s hard to say really) to the floor about half way down. Then she was off on a dead run to come attack my feet some more.
I gave her kisses and put her back. Before I could get across the room she was over the gate again. I think I put her back four or five times before deciding it was a losing battle. I didn’t take the gate down, though, as I would like them to stay in the bathroom until I can trust them with the litter box. And since they aren’t pottying much yet, they’ve yet to need to litter box much. So there were four kittens in the bathroom and one running loose in my bedroom when I left for work.
When I got home from work, Galia was back in the bathroom. Either she climbed back over since there was nobody to play with or snuggle with on the bedroom side of the gate, or Kali took her back. I’m betting on Galia climbing back over.
Sondra took the Warriors to the vet today. We’re a little behind on our usual vaccination schedule, but the kittens are doing well. All except Dawnflower were over three pounds — which is an excellent weight for their age. Dawn is about average, no worries even though she’s a little smaller than her siblings. Sondra said she’d take pictures today or tomorrow, so I hope to have new ones on the site by this weekend.
Now, I’m off to play with babies for awhile before going to bed. I was up way late (for me) last night and I’m tired. (Ha! Susanne, I just had to say that! LOL!) Actually, I was up a little later than normal, but it was the 1:30 a.m. phone call about a problem at work that disrupted my sleep. Good night all!
