Noomi & Dewdew

In just a matter of days Dewey and Noomi really found eachother, and they often play together and he washes her at times. He can get a bit rough with both of that, but she can handle him, and also gives him enough space and plays on her own or with me as well. She already starts to react to her name, especially when she's in her room and I call for her, tiny "iew!" sounds, too cute! :D She really hates getting her ears cleaned, but it needs to be done and at those moments she has quite an attitude. But she usually quickly forgets it and gets all cuddly or playful again. She's really an adorable and oh so easy kitty! Which is extra nice now since it's the first kitten of the year and the first kitten in my new house, we had a relaxing start so far :)

Dewey outside, checking out Nom

She sometimes stands up like this against him as well, holding his neck with her little paws and attacking him like that. But it looks like she's cuddling him then, naaaw! ^_^

Bad quality on these photos, only had my phone near and they weren't lying still, because Noomi kinda didn't want to get washed, she wanted to play! Are they cute together or what :L

As you can see, Dewdew doesn't really care about what Noomi wants, lol!

Attaaaack! ^_^

Guess she had to let him win with his paws around her neck like this :O

Noomi also discovered she can climb the big scratchingpole, she's already been halfway up!

The hairs around her ears are a bit wet here, I had a new tube of earcleaner and squished it a bit too hard, oops! And she was so annoyed that she didn't want that cleaned straight away, so I let her play a bit first and cleaned her after :) Else Dewdew does it for me, not sure if that's so healthy, heh!

Noomi has been outside a bit today, it's the first time I ever let a kitten outside and it went great! :) Of course in a completely fenced up garden and with me being there though, but more about that next time! :kitten

Meet Noomi

Prepare for some photo spam! :) It's that time of the year again, the kittenseason has started and the shelter is getting more and more kittens in need of a fosterhome. They contacted me last Wednesday about a 5 week old kitten that was found under the hood of a car and in need of a fosterhome. They do try to place kittens together with other kittens, but they didn't find her family and she had a bad ear mite infection, so I took her in alone (and of course my cats are treated preventively against it). So here she is, little handful Noomi! :D


In the shelter

On our way home

Still very punky from being deflead, and her belly was pretty big too but she's of course dewormed as well and she looks a lot better now!

It didn't take long before she met my cats! First she met Dew, and she instantly put up her back and tail (it looked so silly, tiny and punky :)) but she quickly realized he ment no harm and went for him straight away. Prrrrr and throwing herself at him, while Dewey just wanted to explore the room!
Sue just sat at a distance and the look in her eyes said enough, and Noomi froze in place, she clearly got the message :D Bindi also wasn't too happy as usual, but Noomi seems to understand well she might come across as angry or annoyed but really won't do much harm.

I considered calling her Freaky (thanks to someone who linked me a vid about a tarsier "hello there, freaky!", and well, her big round eyes... :O) but I figured that might look a bit odd when she's ready for adoption, so went with Noomi, although it's often Nomnom instead :)

It didn't take long before she thought of Dew as a massive toy, here she's getting ready to attack him...

But at that first day Dewdew wasn't so interested in playing with her yet, that little bowl however... So yep, I need to hide her food often!

It didn't take long before she got downstairs, so far nothing impressed her and she's been a very easy kitten! Here she's looking outside

So cute! :L

Stretching

She was curious after the top of the door of her traveling cage and used my arm toget to it, clever kitty!

Just being cute :) All these photos were taken with my phone, I keep forgetting to use my cam atm!

I thought the playrails would be a bit big for her still, but nope, this little girl packs quite a punch!

So there we have it, the first bunch of Noomi photos :) Right now she's racing around the house with Dew, he's been great with her so far <3

Salla has moved

Unfortunately she hasn't moved to a new owner though, instead she went back to the shelter yesterday. I'll be moving soon and after discussing it with the shelter we decided it's best for her to be there now. She'd have to move either way, with me or to the shelter, and the shelter isn't the most ideal situation for her of course, but the chance that she'll get adopted is bigger there. It's not fun at all to bring a kitten back and I hoped I wouldn't have to do that anymore, but luckily she did so much better than what I hoped and expected when I brought her there! :) She's in a room with other cats (I think that room had 4), and she was walking around and discovering the room straight away! She did look a bit scared and she meowed loads (without sound, too funny :O), but I think it went great and I was really proud of her :) I hope she'll find a new owner soon and that she'll adjust well at her new home then!

She did so great in the last period here, the only thing that didn't go so well yet was being picked up and then held, she had some bad experiences with that but she was still improving as well. I think she's gonna make her new owner(s) very happy, she's adorable :L Of course I miss her though and so does Dew, when I came home without her he went searching and when he couldn't find her, he started to search me, digging in my clothes and stuff. It's a bit sad but he made me laugh :) After that he was fine again, although this morning he was meowing loads, haven't heard him meow like that in a while now. It was his second time having a fosterkitten around, the previous 4 were all aopted from my house so he saw the new owners pick them up, this time was different. But hopefully he'll understand it better next time, just like Bindi and Sue seem to do. Bindi and Sue didn't mind her at all, she was the first kitten that really did so well with them, probably because she was a bit older already. Aaaanyway, here's the last bunch of pics. Again most are taken with my phone so the quality ain't all that, but that doesn't make her any less cute :)

Playing on the bed in the kittenroom

I was wondering why my shoes were spread through the room with the shoelaces untied... :O

On top of her furry friend

As I said before she was free to walk around in the house 24/7 in the end, she got to experience moving bedsheets, and boy did she love that! Often she just jumped with a high kittenjump to land on anything that moved, so funny to see :O Luckily she was great during nights, at times she slept with me on the bed somewhere, but she wouldn't mess around while I was sleeping.

And when I was slacking on the couch with a blanket it didn't take long before she joined me :)

Snoozing

And when Bindi was lying there, she went silly-mode!

On my lap looking along at my screen

After I started packing, it didn't take long before she was walking on all the boxes as well. And when a new bunch of empty boxes arrived, she quickly joined Dewey on top of them. Dew was interested in the boxes, but Salla was interested in his wiggling tail instead! And of course she did attack it in the end as well ^_^

Dew's often sitting in the window looking at me when I leave or get back home and lately Salla joined him as well

And here she was in the shelter, her head looks a bit fluffy because of the collar they wear there. As you can see she does look a bit scared and impressed, but she was so brave! There are plenty of hiding spots but after checking the room out quite a bit she went to sit on a higher spot to oversee the room :)

**Update** Salla got adopted pretty quickly, together with another cat and is doing fine from what I heard! :)

This blog will be quiet for a while now, because I'm gonna move first and it's not kittenseason yet, so luckily there's not many kittens in need of a fosterhome now (and hopefully that'll stay that way of course!). Thanks for looking :)

Lots of random Salla pics!

Here's little miss adorable again :)

The other day I offered her an activity board, but Salla didn't get it. Bindi showed how to fish for the candy with her paws...

... but Salla kept trying to just eat them from the board, which won't work! In the end she gave up :)

She's still often on the couch, snoozing and sleeping

And she can lie close to my girls as well. She looks pretty big here, but that's mainly the angle.

The other day I looked behind me and saw Salla lieing against Bindi o_O Omg! Bindi tolerates kittens near her, but she never allowed any cat to touch her (she missed that part of her socialization too). If I count in Sue as well, Salla's the 9th kitten that tried to get closer to Bindi and this time she didn't run away or get annoyed and chase the kitten away with a hiss or some. They actually lied like this for quite some time, and I just sat there shocked, lol! It hasn't happened since, but that was a very precious moment ♥

Dewey on the other hand has little issues with getting close to Salla, here she was snoozing and he went to wash her

And here they're washing each other, aww

It snowed! And it didn't last long before I had little kittenpaws all over my windows ^_^

Dewdew was slacking next to me but Salla wanted to play :O

He was all sleepy and barely reacted to her attacking his head

His paw is just hanging there, not caring about all the things Salla was doing. They're so cute together :)

Posing near my screen. Several similar pictures, but I couldn't choose!

The other day I put a little Christmas tree next to my desk (I don't dare to go for something a lot bigger or a real one even, such things bring out Dew's inner kitten, but then in a 4.5kg cat. Recipe for disaster! :D). Salla spotted it and it didn't last long before she started to poke that weird thing!
