Our set up is to have the kids quarantined in our bedroom that has a sizable bath. The litter box is in the bathroom. Beside my bed is a water fountain for their water. And we have 2 bowls of hard kitten food. One is in the bedroom with the other in the bathroom by the tub. At the foot of the bed is a cardboard emery board for them to claw on which Oliver loves! Finding a wicker square bucket, we turned it on its side and placed a pet bed for them to sleep in. Dark and protected.
We had dinner downstairs away from them and decided to perhaps give them some wet food as a treat. Now, at this point, we have not seen Sadie eat anything yet and hoped that she would eat a little of the wet. Oliver was an eater and did not mind the hard food. Well, they both loved the wet food. It was just a little. It was very nice to see Sadie eat a little something.
After they ate (they stopped eating the wet food), we played with Oliver. Sadie was in her bed area under our bed. She heard Oliver's commotion and came out to investigate. And, she actually played a little. Very happy to see that as well since she has been hiding under something the last 24-hours. Funny though, my wife and I moved slowly as to not startle her. A few times, she sat there as if she was the queen. Well, soon to be queen of the house. We were in aww with how beautiful she is. To bad we did not have my camera handy.
Played with them for about 30 minutes and into bed. They are very quiet kitties. We expected them to hunker down in the pillow tent I had made for them. Or even back in their pet carrier. The next morning, it was a surprise.
Not a good pic, but what do you expect in the dark at 6am!
We started to move around and we heard the little bell on Oliver's break away caller jingle. Start the playing. He is quite the player. Again, to our surprise, here comes Sadie to play also. I knew she needed some time. Still does need some slow time, but she is coming our of her shell. She also used the litter box for the first time. 36 hours is quite some time. Course, Oliver needed to go for the second time.
It was funny to see Sadie attack the string, then Oliver. Back and forth.
But, sometimes, they pounced at the same time.
With Oliver looking on, Sadie takes a tumble backwards with string in paws.
Sadie sacked out as Oliver continues to play.
Again, we did not want to smother them. Plus, we were hungry for breakfast. Leaving them alone for a few hours. I did peak in and they were in their bed resting.
Before lunch, thought we would hang out with them. Oliver is certainly the adventurous one. And we played a little with Sadie getting in on the action.
Here he is after jumping up onto the bed himself, plopped down on me and proceeds to knit butter. Those nails are like pins!
Here is the very reason why we choose to bring Oliver along with Sadie. When my wife was sitting looking at the kittens at the catery, here this little guy was infatuated with her shoes. And still is!
He certainly likes to be petted and pushed over to be scratched. However, if Sadie is in eye sight of this, she comes out and wants petted too. Those little tiny nails of theirs. Like pins!
We left the door open to get towels from the closet. And Oliver decided to cautiously look out the world that he has known the last 36 hours. I was thinking that he would be comfortable doing this. But for Sadie's sake, everybody should stay put. Left him explore though. He even tried the stairs.
After checking out our office and second bath, what else is around here?
Oliver's first stairs. Did not make it down past the 2nd landing before getting back to safety. We left him explore some more. He meowed and that got the interest of Sadie. She too came out from the quarantine area to see what he has gotten into.
I find it funny that Oliver is very loyal to Sadie and has helped her get out from underneath the bed. Great young man! She still likes it there under the bed though for safety. Doesn't come out too much.
A little play time with Oliver and my wife on the bed.
