Marley got along so well with the gang last time that he joined them right away when he came. Unfortunately the dynamics were a bit different this time, what with the kittens and everyone aware that there are basement dwellers, and he started chasing and cornering the girls... so he's in the bathroom now, when I can't supervise, and not loving that. *sigh* I feel badly for him 'cause he's usually such a sweet guy... sensory overload I'm thinking... hang tight, handsome. Your mama comes home in two days. Until then I'll do my best to keep him feeling loved.
Our inbox was full today!! First, from Jasper's mom, Phyllis, was this cute video! Yes, looks like Jasper likes the little cave scratcher just as much as he did when he was a youngster!! I think Jasper enjoyed his birthday present a bit more than Zimmer did! Ha!
And Murph's mom, Pati wrote in: "I figured you'd like to see how Murph is getting along up here in NJ...he's settling in very nicely and has taken to jumping on the bed at night. He's going to the groomers this weekend hopefully so we can get a fresh start on his coat. He's also met 3 of the other cats and that's going well also. Take care and hope your posse is still doing well! Pati"
Murph is already looking quite a bit more floofolicious, don't you think?
The doc wrote: "A long, largely uneventful video of the cats with their new toy. They're still playing with it. What's amazing is that I went back through the pictures of Jasper (then Fred) on the site and found that as a kitten, he had the exact same toy. Either my version is much smaller or Jasper's really grown up! Happy birthday to all the Maples, P"

Glad that Murph is settling in well! My mom has a very floofy cat, and some kitties just need a little extra help with the grooming, ya know?
ReplyDeleteSounds like crazy, fun times at the casa right now! I know when I babysit Mom's girls, it can get quite nutty with extra cats hanging around. Fortunately, her two and my two can mingle without problems, though my Harley can be a little booger.
It's so wonderful to have updates on the kitties and to see that everyone is doing well. Good stuff!

Thanks so much for posting the updates! We are glad to see Murph and the video is really cute!
ReplyDeleteHope you and the cats at the Casa are hanging in there - it sounds like (almost) all of you are coping pretty well.
It's great to hear that Murph is settling in well. It sounds like he is in a wonderful place now:)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear about Murph. What a floofy boy.
ReplyDeleteJasper is sooo big! Handsome too :) So glad his mommy is sending along videos and pictures so we can keep up with him!
YAY 4 MURPH!!!
ReplyDeleteI liked the video! I am so happy to hear that Murph is settling in, makes my purrer rumble!
ReplyDeleteHi Murph....efurryone is happy to hear about you doing well.
ReplyDeleteWow, Fred grew up to be a big boy!
ReplyDeleteThat toy looks fun! You can play on the top, or go after the toy on the inside. It's nice to see you sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, Murph looks very floofy and wonderful, indeed! She really is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThat video is great :D Gotta ask, is that just a Petsmart triangle scratcher thingy? They sure seem to think it's a lot of fun!
Cute video. And thanks for the update on Murph.
ReplyDeleteYep, just a run of the mill petsmart triangle scratcher. I did enhance it with a little catnip. I think part of the joy is being able to play on it together...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Murph update. We are so glad he is doing well!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, those toys are real fun ... Moosey and Sammy like theirs very much!
Yay Murph! Have fun at the groomer. It's grueling, but it's worth it -- sometimes I hate going to the groomer too. ;-)
