Well whoopsie doo!


I should have gone with my gut instincts (and sister Nancy's too): Toby is a Tabitha!  She had a day of firsts today:

  • First Vet visit - Dr. Pippin confirmed Toby is a Tabitha
  • First time in a pet carrier - pink, of course (thanks Sofie). She was not amused
  • First medications - worming, tummy meds
  • First visit to Auntie Nancy's house
  • First time to meet a dog - Zelda was a sweetheart and didn't respond to the hissy fit

Whew, after a day like that, a girl needs her rest.

 Tomorrow: pictures of the mice, pre & post felting.

Size and Siblings


Size is relative they say. You can get a perspective of tiny Tobias and my two smallest cats, Imbrium and Wolfgang.

Imbrium was content to let me pet her and play with her tail to the extent of not caring that Toby was climbing all over the couch. She was stretched out and purring as I slowly took my hand away and let Toby play with this new toy - a long black tail. All was fine for several minutes until Immy peeked my way and realized it wasn't me tugging her tail! If looks could kill...but she just jumped down after.

Hey, you're not Mom!
Wait, where'd you go?

Wolfgang wasn't nearly as amused at sharing the couch with Toby. Using the grooming mitt, I kept him calm while Toby was investigating. Again, all ended on good terms with my well adjusted Wulfie jumping off the couch after sharp kitten teeth sunk in to his tender tail tip.
