The new kittens have arrived!

Yesterday afternoon Battus and Truls moved in with us. They are 14 weeks old and simply adorable! Bekka is really pissed off and makes it very clear to us that this was not a good idea. Beverly seems to accept the kittens now. At least from a distance :-) So we have our hands full at the moment, trying our best to make everyone comfortable. I guess it will take some time before Bekka and Beverly will fully accept their new playmates. Hopefully I'll get some nice photoes soon of Battus and Truls. If they will stand still for one second...

"Let is snow, let it snow, let it snow..."

I know this is not a great photo but the story is so cute I just have to tell you. This is Bekka with her funnel, BTW.
The snow came, surprisingly as always, the other evening. Bekka and Beverly have never been out in the snow before. As Bekka had had her stitches removed we thought it would be OK for her to go out in the extended catyard. They went out to check out the white stuff. They thought it was very odd to start with. But soon they ran around, playing with the dancing snowflakes from the sky och jumping up and down in the snow. It was lovley to watch them enjoy their first snow:-)
In just one week there will be four furry friends in our home. I know Bekka and Beverly will love their new playmates.

It's probably allergy

Bekka has allergy of some kind. We know that now. So now the detective work starts. We don't know what she's allergic to. It could be the food. Medicine, funnel and a strict diet will be her treatment for the coming weeks. I hope she will get better soon. In just 1 1/2 weeks their new playmates will move in with us. That will be great fun!

This photo of Bekka is from September 27.

Strict diet and funnel for Bekka

Well, something is definately wrong with the template for this blog. I have no clue why the photos suddenly shows all over the column. Need to check it out.

About Bekka. We wnt to the vet last Friday as planned. But the vet didn't want to neuter her while this other process is ongoing in her body. It could be food allergy or something else that causes this terrible itch of hers. The itch is likley to be the reason for her wound on her head. But the vet did a biopsy on her. We'll get the answers next week. She is now beatuifully shaved and has a couple of stiches on her little head. We try to make her life as nice as possible despite the funnel 24/7 and allergy food - no ham, treats or anything else but the allergy food. Hang in there, beautiful Bekka. Things will be better!

This photo of Beverly was taken September 14.

Battus and Truls are now 11 weeks old. They are sooo cute :-)

Life in a funnel sucks

Poor Bekka! She thinks her life sucks right now. She got a nasty wound below her right ear and she just couldn't let it be. So the wound got worse. We went to the animal hospital nearby and they told us we need to do a biopsy on her when she's being neutered next week. This will be done to determine what causes the wound. Meanwhile she has to ware a plastic funnel, to protect the wound. She is really brave and tries to make the best of it. But she is not happy :-( So let's hope for better days to come soon!!! This photo is from a happy day though, October 20.
