Columbus adopted. The cats are hyper!

I thought it would be a good time to write about the cat and kittens. A lot of new things have been happening that I haven't seen with them before.


First, Columbus has been adopted. I'm sure she's loving her new family.


Pipi, the one year old female, and Snowball, the 8 week old male are having a good time at my place. Both are healthy and strong. Snowball is a big kitten, as he eats at lot, haaa. He still drinks milk from mom, but now they are both eating off the place and drinking water. Usually at the same time, one will see the other eat or drink and will come and join in.


Snowball is a SUPER CUTE ball of energy and runs around a lot. He's very curious and loves to play with his toys and watch things. He recently discovered my windows and loves to sit by them and look outside. He also loves to draw attention to himself, he will meow when playing with mom and every time he goes to use the litter box.


Pipi has also started behaving more like a young cat. When she was a mom, in nursing mode (and probably shy/scared mode) she would sit around and not do much. Now she's using the horizontal scratching post, will walk about the place, and will play fight with Snowball. It's not really an even match, Snowball will jump on mom and try to bite her, but she always gets the upper hand and can slap him down quite easily. She is also quite affectionate and come when called. Nowadays she is wagging her tail a lot.


Pipi and Snowball have a great relationship though and are always playing and come when the other calls. And they are hyper! From about 12 midnight to 3am every night they are playing.


Here is a video of Snowball and Columbus (when they were 7 weeks old) playing with string, as a tribute to Columbus. Photos of Pipi and Snowball will be up this weekend!
