She has disappeared, and hope it is just for a short while. IIRC she sold her business, so maybe she is just on a long, well-deserved vacation and enjoying her new situation. I too hope she is reading us now and then and know she is missed.

She was just talking about sheets less then 2 weeks ago.

Couldn't have gone far....

It sure has been awhile since she's made an appearance. I hope all is well and that she is enjoying her new freedom. It seems last I heard was she was helping the new owners quite a bit in the transition though.

Congratulations on the grand babies!

Great to hear from you. Congratulations on the twin grand Babies!

Congratulations! Nothing like grandbabies to decorate a house!

You lucky (exhausted, I'm sure) Grandma.

Ah, there she is! Glad you're okay, HK, and a huge congrats on the new grands!

Twin babies and twin kitties - that's a life-full in anyone's book. Have fun!

(But do check in - people get missed around here)

(((Hugs))) to you all! It's nice to be missed.

Here is Nyla and Noah.

Welcome to the world, Nyla and Noah!

Precious! Congratulations.

How fun those wee ones will be! Beautiful babies. Enjoy your kittens, too. Sounds like your life us going to be filled with joy and laughter. I am so happy for you!

Adorable, beautiful babies! Congratulations!

Oh my, they are so cute.

Adorable

kitty pics???

They are darling. Love the bow on Nyla.

Oh my gosh, they are just precious! Do you live close to your DD? Double the love, you can't beat that!

Congratulations to you and your family! What lovely little souls have become a part of you all!

Thank you all so much. She lives about forty minutes away so I can go often. The twins are just snugly wee ones and I love this age. Moses, their big brother, is seventeen months old so she has her hands full. Thankfully her in- laws live five minutes away and they watch Moses often.

here are kitty pics for Mdln:

And another

OMG - the kitties are too cute! LOVE, love the sink pic. Looks like they could be part of the decor. Are they biological siblings?

Such precious babies, and your kitties are so cute! So lucky to live close to be able to spoil them!

Oh, just precious all around!! Enjoy snuggling those precious babies!!

Oh my goodness - those babies are adorable! And the kitties are pretty cute as well. Congratulations to you and your family!

I "liked" your reply above when you said you were doing well, just busy with wonderful stuff. I just went and saw the photos you shared and I have to gush over them. I love your grandchildren's names. They are precious and your kitties... oh my! So nice to see. Enjoy!

Mdln, they are indeed from the same litter. I didn't have the heart to separate them. Their foster mama was hoping they would be adopted together.

That's wonderful. From my feline rescue/shelter experience we found that's the best way to adopt more than one cat. Kitten siblings brought into the house at the same time did best.

Ironically, in dogs/puppies adopting siblings is not recommended.

I still LOVE that sink photo.

They are up at the sink as soon as I go into the kitchen. They both love to drink from the faucet which I encourage. They always have a fresh bowl of water also but the faucet is their preferred method of drinking.

My dear Tommy died two Christmases ago at about two years old. He was a stray that entered our garage when my husband got his power washer out. I posted about him on FB and offered to pay to get him neutered and supply a litter box and food but no one claimed him so we adopted him. We had him neutered and got his shots for him. Our vet said he appeared to be about ten months old. He was such a doll but afraid of any noise. He battled with constant bladder infections. The last round caused kidney failure and he died. I often wondered if he had a lack of clean water outside that initially caused his issues. Poor boy was in and out of our vet's on a regular basis. We had a water fountain for him to encourage him to drink more.

Kitties on the counter!!! My kind of people. :)

Oh my goodness! How adorable! Congratulations :)

My 1st kitty died of renal failure. You are correct, they often do not get enough water. When I began volunteering @ the shelter, I wanted to take kitty pictures (photography hobby). When they discovered I was in human medicine, asked me to do coordinate vet care. The rescue was happy because I didn't take cats to the vet every time they sneezed (saved $$$) and the vets liked working with me. While many human similarities, there are some differences.

Cats are obligate carnivores (great article below) but humans too often feed them dry food - that is too low in water, too low in animal protein and too high in carbs. We switched to primarily canned food with some water added and were able to cure many cases of cystitis/FLUTD, diabetes and IBD. (LOL - Wish it was that easy in human medicine.)

So.... good for you, fresh water for your new fur babies!!!

Mdln, we think alike. I give my guys canned food for the added water. I also keep a pretty goblet filled with water on the coffee table because they especially like water that they think isn't meant for them.

All four are such beautiful babies, Holly-Kay :-). Congratulations.

I am so sorry you lost your precious Tommy so young. It's never easy.

I only feed my fur kids wet food also and let them (like I have any control) drink out of any sink in the house. I also keep water dishes in almost every room as I have a 20 year old who has been in kidney failure for three years. He gets sub-Q every five days or so and is still doing amazingly well.

mdln I am one of those humans who does indeed takes my fur kids to the vet at each sneeze. They wish they had a human more like you :-). They've started to hide their carriers!

Kindred spirits!

Holly-Kay, you get my cat mom of the month award, keeping a water goblet on your coffee table. I will be telling my cat shelter friends about that.

Marlene, wow a 20yo w/ 3yrs of renal failure, you must be doing a great job!

Linelle, Yes, kitties on the counter!
