We are 12 weeks old now!

Day 83 - November 22, 2007

I would ask you all to bear with me please as there will be no kitten diary entries until Sunday or Monday at the earliest. The reason for this is that due to situations with our inside boys, we have now had to rethink the way we do things. As such, we are currently in the process of rearranging our entire home and the way we have things structured here. These changes will be much better for all of our cats, and our Rottweiler, Jag.

As such, the next few days are going to be very busy making some huge changes and this has to take a priority over the kitten diaries. I know this is disappointing for some of our kitten families but once in a while, the diaries have to take a back step to more important matters. I will say that our babies are all doing incredibly well with no worries at all and hopefully by Sunday or Monday we will be back to normal so please check back then.

Day 81 - November 20, 2007

It's been one of those days today so the Chefs and the Ray J's kitten diaries are both the same and are not actually even about the babies for that matter! I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with my efforts of photographing the Chefs/Ray J's at the moment, although what happened today wasn't really my fault. I took photos of the younger 2 litters, came downstairs and downloaded those, went back upstairs, took photos of the Chefs and the Ray J's, but when I came back downstairs the lead to the camera wasn't working. It all got a bit technical for me so I handed it over to Graham who proceeded to tell me I had ruined it <sigh>. We can now retrieve any future photos that we take without using the lead but unfortunately I lost what I took today. I may take the camera upstairs with me later tonight to try and get some semi decent photos for tomorrow's diary entries. Registrations still have not come back yet, but we do have 2 weeks leeway so I'm hoping they will arrive soon. Ironically enough, this morning, I received the registration certificates for the previous babies who have since left us.

Day 80 - November 19, 2007

Don't ask what happened to kitten diaries over the weekend. It's just been incredibly hectic. On Saturday we had a kitten family visiting, on Sunday we were out for the day, and as well as all that, we have also been doing some supervised honeymoons for a couple of ladies so it has been non stop. Even today I'm struggling to catch up with everything but I am trying to get the diaries back on track.

One thing that I will not miss about the Chefs when they leave and that is the fact that every single day they pull down the towels from the rail in the bathroom and then use them as a bed on the floor. No matter how many times I put the towel in the wash and then hang up a new one, they pull it down straight away. I've not ever actually caught them pulling it down but I know it has to be them because each time the towel is on the floor, it is the Chefs who are lying on in the majority of the time. I imagine that they must jump up from the floor and grab it and yank it off the rail. Yes I have tried not letting so much of the towel hang down but that doesn't seem to make any difference at all. This is the worst part of sharing our home with the most intelligent of cat breeds :)

Day 77 - November 16, 2007

I do feel bad that there are no photos today for the Chefs (or the Ray J's) when it is the Chefs 11 week birthday, however, it's been a very busy day and we have had friends visiting this afternoon and I totally ran out of time as per usual.

Alright, it's now 1845, diaries are still not online, so I give up. Tomorrow I will make a much better effort for Sami's kitten diary, with photos (I hope!)
