The Kittens venture out

After doing the semi-anual deck cleaning and sealing, I got the enclosure
back up.  It hasn't been opened up yet this season, so today is the first
day the kittens have seen the big OUT.

Rhett figured out how to work the pet flap in 15 minutes.  I'm so proud;
this boy is SMART. Scarlett hasn't figured it out yet, so it's propped open
for now.  But she's been watching her brothers and will probably get it
soon.  Bonnie hasn't figured it out yet, but some day....

There are a few other pics in there of the big OUT 2005.  :)

Looks fun, wish we had a safe way to get to the big OUT.
Someday...it's on my home improvement wish list, along with about 50
other things...

I looked at some of the previous pics, Cheryl.  That is one well-loved
cat tree.  LOL!

:-) Yeah, one of these days I'm going to rewrap it with sisal. I find
chucks of carpet everywhere! They really go at it on that thing.

Awww.. cute!  Rhett's so smart :)  If I ever have a yard, I'd love to have
an enclosure for the kitties.

I hope you do. I just kind of lucked into my set up since the deck is
just above the downstairs sliding door. I'd have never thought of it
except from reading posts here and other groups.

I watched the whole slide show, they grew up right before my eyes.
I'm inspired! (I wish my house was that clean). They have longer bodies
than most cats. Very pretty markings. I think cats are the prettiest
when they are setting on thier haunches just chilling, or when they are
walking and stalking at the same time, they look more like the LARGE
cats then.

Yeah, and just curious Cheryl -- how many times did you kick their a.ses
to get them to behave?

The people who found the litter were very interested in keeping up
with them throughout their lives and since they live a ways away
from me, I told them I'd keep up a picture site. In fact, the day
after I posted pictures of Scarlett when she had surgery in
January, they were so concerned that they emailed me asking what
was wrong.

I'm convinced that they have a lot of Bengal in them. It shows on
Rhett more than Scarlett. Personality fits to a tee, too. But, yes,
they have very long bodies. Long necks, long legs.  

I've never raised cats from kittens before, and I'm always amazed
at how they bond with us - it's slightly different from adopting
cats as adults. A little more clingy rather than being a companion
first.  For example: they will hop on me and push their head
against me, or knead me and fixate on my face rather than try to
get pets from my hands. Back when Rhett decided to start being a
lap cat, he'd try to push his nose up mine.  LOL  Scarlett would
knead my neck and play with my earings. Both at the same time, one
with each paw. Very cute. But so unlike any adult cat whose ever
owned me as an already full grown adult.

I just measure Ruprecht, standing up, from the center of his head, to
the base of his tail, is roughly 19-20 inches.
