falcon on the dogbed

yes, that’s way more bed than this tiny cat needs. but he doesn’t seem to mind.

where does this leave the dog? read more to find out.

thankfully the dog doesn’t mind. she loves her brother, even though he’s a goof.

more falcon

more falcon. this time, sleeping next to me on the couch. he looks happy. i tend to give off a lot of heat.

btw… he passed his audition.

falcon

so, as most people who know me would be aware, we foster kittens. we’ve had probably close to 200 foster kittens through our home. we volunteer for a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter in arlington, wa called Purrfect Pals.

we recently fostered a group of 8 kittens. carrie got to name them — and what she came up with quickly were naming the boys after fords, and the girls after chevrolets.

one of the boys, pictured here, is “falcon.” falcon is currently … “auditioning.” we think he may make a good addition to our home. (how far he is through the “auditioning” process depends on who you ask, and how cheeky i’m acting when i reply.)

so far, we’ve only kept 2 cats out of hundreds: teddy and nora.

teddy

teddy is a siamese mix, and he’s our biggest cat. we fostered his group, and it turns out we couldn’t stand to part with him. teddy is one of 2 cats we’ve kept from fostering (out of more than 150 so far…)

(yes, we give them a bed, on the floor. but they always choose to sleep in the sink.)
