Happy Thanksgiving!

As I write this, the kittens are enjoying a delicious Thanksgiving dinner courtesy of Purina. Sassafras is grateful to have his appetite back so he can enjoy his half of the can. Come to think of it, his foster mommy is grateful for that too. Now healthy, he has gained back all the weight he lost while he was sick, and is once again growing both in weight and size. He still weighs less than Simon, though, which is opposite of how it was when they first got here.

Simon continues to be his playful and mischievous self. He's very active and energetic, running circles around his more laid back brother. He likes to hop in my lap, but his attention span is something like two seconds, so he'll hop up, enjoy being petted for a second, hop down to play some more, then hop back in my lap again. He's a small part of why I haven't posted an update in so long--I'm having trouble getting him to be still long enough for a picture! (The bigger part of why it's been so long between updates, is of course, the eternal laziness of yours truly).

Sassafras is going through "that phase" where he doesn't want to be picked up or sit in my lap, but he does enjoy being petted. He likes to cuddle up next to my ankle and get his head scratched. Since recovering from the respiratory infection, he has found his inner purrball, and now purrs almost as much as his brother.

The bout with the respiratory infection delayed the second set of shots for a week, so they will be getting those tomorrow instead of last Thursday. If it works like last time, then they will go for their neuter surgeries around December 6th then come back here for a few days before going back for good to be made available for adoption.
