Smothered in Kittens!

Ok…so…I really don’t know where to start! I know that a lot of my friends that I normally talk to online are probably wondering if I fell off the face of the earth. >.< ; I promise I haven’t! I’ve just been wrapped up in kitten cuteness! I swear, these three are irresistible!



Momosito is the alpha male. He was originally going to be Mamasita, which is a nickname my bestfriend from work likes to call me on occasion. He looks a lot like their mother (who’s Travellar’s mother as well), so if he had been a girl, the name would have fitted him rather well. But it turned out he was a boy, so all the A’s were changed to O’s. No biggy. But he is definitely the alpha male, always taking charge and very aggressive towards what he wants. He’s very active, pouncing and bounding and wresting and clawing a biting; not to mention extremely possessive with the toys he plays with. Seriously…he growls at his siblings if they try to come near him and the toy, and then proceeds to carry said toy away so he can play with it on his own.



Mishka is the lone girl of the group, and she’s entirely grey. She reminds me of Kermit’s descriptions of Animal; she gives as good as she gets when it comes to fighting with her brothers, but she’s also very calm and serene when she’s with me. She’s very shy and timid around strangers, which she was with me for the first day and a half she was here. But when she warmed up to me, she started following me around, purring sweetly as she settles in my lap. She also likes to snuggle up to the back of my neck at night, playing with my hair some before settling in.







Blacky is the runt of the group, pure black and Karper’s familiar. Seriously, when Karper was over the night before he and his parents left town for their vacation…I could see the bond he and the kitten had when he scooped the little guy up. It was heartwarming. Blacky is quite the charmer too! Nuzzling his way up to my shoulder and purring sweet nothings in my ear…Karper might have a hard time getting me to let him take the runt home! XD But he’s the adventurous one of the group as well, ready to jump and climb without warning! He likes to scale up the walled corner of my bed instead of simply jumping up to the exposed edge. He’s quite silly at times, and rarely seems all that phased when confronted with the older cats hissing at him and his siblings.





They spent their first day with me up in the kitty play room; they thoroughly enjoying having all the open space to run around in! They also had fun rearranging all the soft boxes in there, barricading the door up to the room by the time I got home from work. XD







Their second day, I let them explore the second floor hallway. At the stairs, Mishka was confronted with Calista’s every angry hissing and growling…which I think made the kitten all the more hesitant about going down the stairs again. >.<; In fact, when Blacky and Momo decided to venture down to the first floor, Mishka was so distraught about being left alone on the second floor, she started crying and wailing. I had to rush up and get her before she got too upset. Momo was then found his way to Travellar, who proceeded to hiss and growl at the miniature intruder…only for him to hiss and growl right back at her! It’s going to be interesting, mind you…having three alpha cats in the house! XD



Calista, however…has learned that Trav’s doesn’t want to have anything to do with the kittens. Honestly, Trav has been camped out in the kitchen virtually the entire time. With that being said, Calista has decided that she can easily be out of kittens’ reach by staying up in high places, but out of Travellar’s reach by staying in the same general area as the kittens! XD Needless to say, the old broad isn’t stupid! I just hope she remembers that they won’t stay that small for long, and she’ll eventually have to lead them to Travellar if she doesn’t want to deal with their playfulness.

Me…I’m in love with each and every one of them! Especially when they’re tuckered out and in snuggle mode. The fact that the three of them will come up to the head of the bed and sleep on my pillow, or in reach of my arms, or snuggled up to my neck…it just makes me melt all over…until one decides to dig their claws into me. >.< Then they scatter once I yell…or I grip the scruff of the guilty party’s neck and send them to the floor. But they eventually settle down. Blacky is a burrower, trying to get in beneath whomever is in the spot he wants to be at, or even trying to burrow beneath me…I would assume for warmth. Mishka will play with my hair and give me a scalp massage before settling in, and Momo will either sleep at my feet, or come up to snuggle with his siblings…eventually snuggling in as close to me as possible. JUST TOO CUTE!

They’ve gotten to the point where they’re comfortable with being on the second floor, but haven’t tried to venture so much down to the first floor again. I think they also forgot that they had food in the kitty room yesterday, because they were pining last night…and Momo’s stomach didn’t look as pudgy as before. So I had called for them to follow me up the stairs, and both Mishka and Blacky were like…”Oh right! There’s food!” Momo waited until later to eat. I decided that maybe it was best to move the food down to my room…so they won’t forget to eat again. >.<;

And today! Oh! Today, I stole Blacky away to come to the first floor with me…and Mishka and Momo came following after! I have a feeling that Momo and Travellar are always going to be at odds with each other…such dominant personalities. They were growling at each other once they met again. XD



Oh! And here is a random picture of Karper…insisting that I needed to post it up on the blog. Taken last night in his hotel room bathroom. SAY HI! Mishka wants a shirt just like his. ^_~
