Happy Meowloween!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

Mister A. is going to be out of town for most of the next week - so it’ll be just DJ managing the Academy. That means no mailbag this weekend!

We’ve scheduled graduation for Fable’s kids - Ink on the 6th, and Quill and Parchment on the 13th. We’re not sure yet when their adopters will pick them up, but we’re sure it won’t be long!

Now on to the real purpose of this post: Halloween photos of the faculty and students!

Fable's Tails Photo Updates!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

Fable's bables got moved into the main kitten room this week, because on Friday, we're due to have a new pregnant momcat arrive, who will go into the annex.  She is also bringing her previous litter of three three-month-old kittens, but they probably won't be allowed to stay with her in the annex.  Because we're full up, they're likely to get the run of the house, and hopefully we can get them adopted quickly - they should be ready to go as soon as they arrive!  

But more on that later this week - meanwhile, we've got some great new photos of Fable's kids.  It's still very difficult for us to tell Ink from Quill, so to give us all the best chance, we're going to post the photos in four separate 'albums' below.

Fable's Tails Arrive!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

Once again, we really have put "the late" in "the latest news."  The past week or so has been a whirlwind of Academy-related stuff!  Firstly, we had our second annual Kitten Academy Convention and it was completely amazing.  We've got so much we'd like to say about it - but that's not even what this post is about.  It's about Fable's three new kittens!

On July 20th, Fable went into labor, and it seemed like it was a little more difficult than most.  So we packed her up and on the way to the emergency vet, she delivered two wonderful kittens; Ink and Quill.  At the vet, they checked her out and said everything was just fine and we should go home for the third kitten - who was delivered on the way home.  So all three of this class were born in the car!  Of course Fable's kittens would have to start life with a good story to tell.

Because it's been over a week since they were born, their eyes are already starting to open!  Surprisingly, the smallest kitten, Parchment, seems to be well ahead of her sisters!

Here's a cheat-sheet to help get you started!

Ink - Female

Quill - Female

Parchment - Female

Fable - Momcat

As usual, here's the rest of the photos from this session - and we'll be back soon with graduation photos of the Breakfast kittens, who are all getting adooted on the 11th!

Welcome to Fable!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

We can't believe Fable's already been here for a week - and it's taken us this long to get around to making a blog post about it!  So by now, you've probably already seen her lounging around the annex.  When she first arrived here via On Angels' Wings, we brought her to our favorite vet, Cary Grove Animal Hospital.  There, an ultrasound and X-ray showed us that she has three kittens, and they were at least 45 days along.  That means they had, at most, two weeks left to go!  And that was one week ago - so we expect her to deliver any day now!

Here's some initial photos of our lovely new momcat:

Some quick news items before we give you bonus photos:

  • Tiffiny had a successful spay on Tuesday, and also had a bladder diverticulum surgically corrected at the same time. She's doing super fantastic and spending a lot of time recovering in the master bedroom.

  • Bear and Toast have reached graduation weight and will have their surgeries next Tuesday.

  • Mailbag will be happening as usual this weekend, with DJ included - but mailbag the following week, the 27th, will be canceled due to KA-Con 2!

  • DJ has created a new page to help explain our "No Sads" policy.

And here's some bonus photos of the Breakfast club!
