Happy Friday, everyone! What a beautiful day here in Seattle. The kitties are all enjoying this sunshine in one form or another. They're either energized by the brightness or overcome by their desire to nap in the sun spots! Let's see what everyone is getting up to today.

Albi has been very chatty this morning! Wandering around the cattery, following us humans around, we've had several conversations so far. Albi's also really soft, so we have to squeeze in a few snuggles amidst our deep conversations!

Arwen and Lego keep showing off more and more personality with each passing day! Lego even tried out the window seat today - it seemed like he enjoyed it, though he didn't like being caught in the act. No worries, Lego, you aren't in trouble! Arwen is keeping things chill today, leaving the curiosity and adventure for Lego.

Bella and Luna are both soaking up the sun today! They're thrilled the sun is out and are making sure to spend as much time as possible either outside or somewhere they can see the sun's rays. Luna really loves perching on this shelf above the door, but she's been hopping down on her own for dinner so I don't break my neck trying to get up there myself! Very kind of her.

Cleo seems like she's really enjoying being back at AMK! She generally prefers to do her own thing, and that's definitely what makes her happiest. So far today, she's explored the main cattery, enjoying the daylight from the warm inside of the building.

Felix hopped out for a bit today to say hello, but mostly I think he was asking what time dinner is served. When he realized I wasn't bringing it around right that second, he lost a bit of interest in hanging out with me. Scarlett, however, is one of the most curious kitties in the office right now! I often find her exploring other kitties' condos, napping on top of a condo, or sniffing around the window boxes. 

Frankie took a lap or two around the office today! I can tell he's pretty curious, but he's not really too sure about the other kitties. He has, however, decided he's a fan of getting pets from me, which is great news. He's so soft, it's hard to resist giving him a nuzzle!

Maks just arrived yesterday, and so far, he's making himself right at home in his den. There's nothing like settling into a comfy bed and really making it your own. I think he's pretty satisfied with his accommodations!

Oscar is such a sweet cat - we're wondering if we can just keep him around forever! He's got a great personality. Today, he sat in the window seat for a while, getting his fair share of the sunlight before heading back to his den for a cozy nap.

 

Phoebe's still trying to figure out how she feels about everything... But that's okay! It's her first time with us, so we expect a little bit of an adjustment period. She's got a great condo, right next to a nice window and a comfy den to snooze in, so hopefully she'll feel at home soon. It's an added bonus that she doesn't have to leave the condo to enjoy the entertainment of bird watching through her window!

 

My girl Jessica has been all around the cattery today, getting into a little bit of everything. It's been an errands day for her - she's got to make her rounds and check on things. Tomorrow, she'll probably get right back to napping in her favorite spot. But for now, there's work to be done!

Today's spotting of Rosemary and Sage was a bit easier - I knew where to look this time! But also... It was pretty obvious when I saw the pile of feet pouring out of the basket. At least today I got some photo evidence showing that they do both enjoy their alone time in their individual dens, but at some point, they just gotta snuggle. I can respect that!

Miss Roxy is doing great today, letting me love on her a little still and staying comfy and warm on her heating pad!

Handsome Yolk has a great condo for catching the sunshine without having to lift a paw. His condo faces the catio, so there's plenty to watch - but still plenty of naps to take, too!

That's it for today! We have several kitties joining us today, so stay tuned for Sunday's blog which is sure to be full of some cuties! See you then!

Happy Hump Day! We're trucking along and making it through the week. The kitties are all having a great day so far! The downstairs gang has been pretty mellow and laid back, while our upstairs guests have been a little bit more chatty and interested in what we people are up to! Let's take a look.

Arwen and Lego are starting to figure out how things work around here! So far, they're both shy, but Lego is very curious about everything. He keeps wanting to hop down and explore, but I think he's talking himself out of it every time. He'll get braver with each day he's here, and I can't wait for him to find all the toys and windows the office has to offer! Arwen really adores their cozy den, and she can usually be found curled up inside napping. It's a nice little spot for a shy kitty!

Bella and Luna have been perfect as usual. Here lately, they've even been on the ball with our dinner time routine and have been sitting patiently in their condo right at dinnertime the past two days! I've been very impressed. Bella is even letting me get a little closer to her, but I won't push my luck. She's not mean, of course, just shy! So we'll take things at her pace.

Goodness, what HAVEN'T Felix and Scarlett been up to? Felix has been coming out to give me some love here lately, which is a welcome change of pace. Scarlett has taken to exploring every nook and cranny - particularly those that are directly above me, so she can supervise while I work hard.

Oh, man. Frankie showed off his little toe beans yesterday, and it was the cutest thing. He's still figuring us out, but he let me give him lots of snuggles yesterday which was awesome. I'm proud of him for being brave and starting to explore the office some more! It seems like he and Oscar are especially interested in each other. Will they become best friends? Only time will tell...

I probably have hundreds of pictures of Jessica doing this exact thing - it's just her favorite nap spot, and she's always rolling around and being a total cutie when I walk by! How can I NOT take her picture?

You'll have to forgive me for my phone's generous use of flash for Mira and Tyson's photoshoot today! Tyson has been snuggled up warm and cozy in their den for most of the day, while Mira likes to explore for a while before heading home to nap with her brother. 

Nyla hopped out of her condo today and explored the office a bit, though she was pretty salty that I wouldn't open up the door and let her explore Marie's entire house. Sorry, Nyla! I will give you lots of cuddles instead.

Oscar has the fantastic talent of looking insanely comfortable and content no matter what he's doing or what position he is in! He's a flexible, happy dude who doesn't seem to be bothered by much. He's always down for a good snuggle, too.

I spent a good few minutes looking around for Rosemary earlier, thinking only Sage was in the basket... Upon closer inspection, they both squeezed in to snuggle together! They each have a den in their condo, but sometimes you just need to snuggle with your sibling.

Roxy has been in a great mood since we put in a heating pad in her condo! She's getting a little older and arthritic, but it certainly doesn't stop her spunky personality. Since she's feeling a little more comfortable the past few days, she's been open to letting me give her some noggin pets and some sweet words in her direction.

Sierra is Oscar's downstairs neighbor, though you can often find them sprawled out together in his condo. She is a quiet kind of social - not interested in making any trouble, and not even particularly interested in making any friends. Just having a nice buddy to share space with is enough for her! I think she's got an introvert's attitude, enjoying companionship without a lot of energy.

That's it for today! We'll be back Friday with more kitties to share. We'll see you then!
