Late night and baby kittens

So it’s the wee hours of the morning and my wonderfully sweet neighbors are keeping me wide awake. How? Well, they are skateboarding and yelling right outside my window (teens). And another set of neighbors are playing very loud music with a bass that is reaching my ears from across the street.

Hopefully they all go to sleep sometime before dawn…

Since the lovely, fun time is preventing me from sleeping, I thought I would update you on the baby kittens my parents have been raising. Update: They are even more adorable now!

:)

We’ve named them. The black-and-white kitten is Biscuit. Biscuit – the one from the video that was walking over the other kittens – is still an adventurer. He likes to climb tall trees in search of birds.

The grey-and-white tabby is Boots. He’s a sweetheart! Whenever he sees me, he flops down and rolls onto his back with a little “meow.” Such a sweetie.

The orange kitten is Tex. He’s very shy, like his mom. He doesn’t usually let me pet him. But if I reach my hand out to him, he will very lightly bat my hand with one paw. Aww!

Their mom is doing great. She still won’t let anyone pet her, but good meals and medicine have made her coat shiny and pretty. Meanwhile, my parents’ dog (Sandi – very cute!) is learning to tolerate the cats. She no longer lunges at them or barks at them through windows. ;-)

To complete this late-night post, here are a couple updated pictures of our baby kittens.

I remember a few of you asked me to post a link to the page on BusinessWeek that featured a quote from me (my original blog post is here.) Well, after MUCH delay, I finally have it on my website thanks to a friend who saved a screen capture and sent me a PNG of it. Thanks!

If you don’t have a widescreen,  you may have to scroll to the right a bit to see my part. ;-) Without further ado, here it is! Just scroll down and look to the right of the screen capture.

(PS: If you’re confused by the automatically generated links attached to my original blog post… Well so am I. How exactly did WordPress decide a blog on cancer is related to my post about being on Business Week? I think the algorithm needs a little work… Lol.)
