Wow, it has been a while. Unfortunately it has been so busy, that I ended up not having the energy to write. I've had my own business to run, a house to look for, problems to solve and I've been ill. But back to the kittens. So what is the status these days?
Well, we still have 6 kitties running around. Fey has grown up to be a gorgeous kitty, as I knew she would. She still hasn't fully gotten accustomed to human company though. She is bigger and bolder these days, climbing up window sills and trying to steal Arwen's food on a daily basis. But walk into a room, stare too long at her, or startle her, and she is somewhere under a table all of a sudden. I have been told that this can take very long though, and will never fully fade. Still, I remain hopeful :)
Furthermore all kittens have had their annual check up and Falk finally received his chip. He is officially part of the family these days. Only our Fey doesn't have one yet. Everyone got a clear bill of health, much to my relief. Fey and Falk are so cute these days, they hog the bed as no other couple could and like like they've been married for years *grin*
Trinity is more open and cuddly these days, up to the point where it becomes a problem. Daily, me and my boyfriend are mobbed by no less than four kittens. Prinny is always the first to come over and claim part of the couch, and of course then Lulu feels she needs to be there too. As if that aint bad enough, our Arwen and Trini also feel like the couch is the place to be, especially when we are in it. I've told my boyfriend repeatedly that we need an extra couch and we are actually saving up for one coz this is getting out of hand *LOL*
Arwen is also completely nuts these days (then again, when isn't she *sigh*). Recently, I took a short time job to take care of some bills, which meant I wasn't home the entire day anymore. Boy, we are still paying for that. The day I took that job, she started meowing at the door. My boyfriend didn't know what to do so he checked up to see if she was ok. That was a wrong move. She has gotten so bad that nowadays, she meows whenever either one of us leaves the house. Add to that that my boyfriend recently started going to a local gym, which makes Arwen even more crazy (as even he isn't home all the time anymore and she never knows when he ll go and get back), and you understand our patience is being put to the test.
She has also taken to rushing outside again whenever the front door is opened. Everytime something in our routine changes, she does this *sigh*. And of course, I only temporarily did this job, so now I'm home again all days, except for when I have to work at the clinic, so everything changed on her again. Add to that that my boyfriend will be a week in Norway starting today and the kitten has gone completely over to the deep end. This morning, when he left to catch his plane, she ran out the door, raced down to the front door of the building and meowed in full hysteria throughout the hall way. When my boyfriend got downstairs with his luggage, she raced back up to our appartment in full meowing mode. Half an hour after he left, she again meowed all over the place for five minutes.
We have no clue what is going on in that little head of hers these days, and as cute at it looks, it does get confusing and frustrating eventually. She has also gotten a lot more cuddly and clingy (never knew that was even possible!), so the competition for my attention with the other cats sometimes reaches ridiculous heights. As I finish typing this, Arwen just jumped up on the couch, purring loudly while confiscating my lap. Luckily the rest of the kitties is off snoozing elsewhere. We'll see what tonight brings, now that I'm the only one home...
