Welcome to Tailor's Bespoke Tinypants!

September 07, 2019 by Mr. Academy in Cheatsheet, Introduction

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

Our newest momcat, Tailor, arrived a week ago from near Savannah, Georgia. She delivered two of her kittens on the transport up from GA, and the third and final kitten at the Academy. Her paperwork says she may be half Bengal and despite her diminutive size, her amazing colors seem to bear that out! Thanks to Tabby Tales and DAWS for coordinating her arrival at the Academy!

Before we get on with the official photos, we have the results of the Basepaws poll from our last entry. You have chosen Magnolia to be the faculty member that we test first! We’ll be sure to let you know when we submit the test and the results when it comes back!

All right then - on with the kittens!

And here’s the rest:

Welcome Whimsical Wiggles!

June 22, 2019 by Mr. Academy in Introduction, Cheatsheet

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

There’s one more post in our five-part art series, but not today. Also, don’t forget about KA-Con 3!

Today we give our official welcome to Whimsy and her five wiggly kittens! Whimsy is our first cat brought to us through our new shelter, the Danbury Animal Welfare Society. They are completely awesome and you should check them out!

As you know, Whimsy has been fighting off a bit of an upper respiratory infection. She’s still sneezing a bit but otherwise it seems like she’s feeling much better lately! She’s been eating and drinking on her own again and we’re continuing her treatments of antivirals and antibiotics until she’s completely well.

Her five little kittens seem super healthy so far! Here they are:

It can be difficult to tell Twist and Cartwheel apart on the stream. Twist has a bold white ring on her back right leg, and also a white neck under her chin. Cartwheel doesn’t - so that’s an easy way to tell who is who if those parts are visible. When they get big enough, we may consider collars to help differentiate them.

Here’s all the rest of the photoshoot!

Song and Dance!

June 14, 2017 by Mr. Academy in Cheatsheet

Hello, Kitten Academicians!

As you no doubt are aware, we've had four new arrivals since DJ and Mr. A returned from vacation! First, let's introduce the new characters:

We have plans to integrate the new kittens with Song's "Squints" - Kazoo already is getting along pretty well with them and spends most of his time in the main room with them. On Thursday the 15th, Song and Fiddle will be going for their spay/neuter. At that time, we'll bring the dance kittens into the main room with the rest of the Squints. When Song and Fiddle return, they'll be placed in the Annex while they recover. After that, we'll "play it by ear."

Although applications are already coming in to On Angels' Wings in Crystal Lake for these kittens, if you find yourself falling in love with one, don't hesitate to put in your own application. It often happens that an approved applicant falls through and a kitten goes to a second or third applicant instead. At the very least, by having an application on file, you can be first in line to adopt a future cat or kitten.

Before we leave you with the rest of the photos from the photoshoot, let us say that JimmyD and JennyD did a superlative job of running the Kitten Academy while we were on vacation! We enjoyed watching them while we were out of the country and JimmyD did a brilliant job with the nightly streams! We hope we can continue to provide the same level of quality that he did. And hopefully, he'll return from time to time as a guest host!

Updates and Song's Quintet Photos!

April 30, 2017 by Mr. Academy in Cheatsheet, Graduation, Adoption

Two Mewspaper posts in one day is unprecedented, but it's been a special day!

Yesterday, the adopter of Star and Mocha also adopted Latte, and when he was reintroduced to his mom and brother, they filmed it! What a wonderful outcome after all the potential adoptions for Latte that fell through!

We've brought this up on the stream a number of times, but it bears repeating - DJ's big exams for medical school are coming up fast now, with less than a month left to study. She's therefore had understandably little time to help out with Kitten Academy duties the way she normally does. In turn, Mr. A. has been struggling to keep up with the usual activity. Naturally, we see to the kittens' needs first, so if something has to fall by the wayside, it's likely to be videos and communication on social media and the Discord chat.

If you're one of our Patreon supporters, -- thank you! -- the month ends tonight, and we haven't had our monthly Patreon stream, for the first time since we started. We'll also be sending out the paw print cards a little late -- not the first time that's happened.

After the exams are completed, DJ and Mr. A. will be leaving for two weeks of vacation. During that time, Kitten Academy will be managed by JimmyD and JenniD, whom you may remember as the adopters of Winnie and Gary of the Fonts. The live stream will carry on as usual, under their care. We're super excited to have "guest hosts" and we couldn't ask for better substitutes -- you may not want Mr. A. and DJ to return! The plan is to help them have an easier time of it by only having Song and her kittens at that time - so our next momcat or kittens will not be arriving until after our return in mid-June.

After that, we hope things at the Academy will return to normal! Thanks for bearing with us during this tumultuous time!

Now on to the real point of this Mewspaper entry... photos!

Fish Cheatsheet Number Two!

April 30, 2017 by Mr. Academy in Cheatsheet

Hello Kitten Watchers!

We realized today that the cheatsheet with kitten names and photos that's on the live stream for the Fish is their baby photos! It was a little out of date, so this post is just to provide a new one.

On Angels' Wings informs us that all of the the Fish are already adopted! They'll go for their Graduation on the 18th of May, and be collected by their adopters the following weekend.

As always, there were a lot of other photos we gathered during the shoot, and they're all here for you to enjoy!

Introducing Song's Quintet!

April 27, 2017 by Mr. Academy in Cheatsheet

Hello, Kitten Academicians!

Before we dive into the details of the newest Kitten Academy class, a few things we'd like to get out of the way:

As of right now, Latte and Arial are still looking for adopters! Contact On Angels' Wings in Crystal Lake, IL to apply.
The contest to help with suggestions for Sarah Donner's (PG-13 Link!) upcoming music video for Kitten Academy is closed now, but we expect it will take some time for us to parse through all the wonderful suggestions, and for Sarah to decide what she'd like to do!
We're still getting some questions about Angel - we apologize for not properly explaining the situation. We briefly addressed it in last night's close-up stream, just a few minutes in. The short version is, she's gone home to be with her owner, and we think it's good!

So, as most of you doubtless know by now, on Tuesday the 25th, our latest Kitten Academy class arrived! Song was picked up by the Logan County Animal Control about a week prior. They send out notices to shelters all over Illinois, and once a week, transport animals that the shelters are willing to take. Song was pregnant when Logan County Animal Control picked her up, but delivered her kittens on Tuesday the 18th, while she was still there.

That's everything we know about her history!

Here's your cheat-sheet:

As usual, here's the remainder of the photos from the shoot:

Fish Photo Shoot!

March 26, 2017 by Mr. Academy in Cheatsheet, Adoption, Graduation

Hello, Kitten Academicians!

We've got some photos of the Fish and Angel for you -- some from two weeks ago, and some from last night. I bet you can tell which are which!

Before that, though, a moment of news: Java was picked up at On Angels' Wings today by his adopter. As he's left the academy before graduation, he's officially our first "drop out!" A lot of famous people have dropped out and still managed great things, so we hope for the best. But we'd encourage all of you to stay in school nonetheless! Don't be a Java!

His adopter will be returning to OAW with him when he's ready to be fixed, so that will be taken care of. Unfortunately, this adoption was arranged before he came to the Kitten Academy, so it's uncertain whether we'll be able to expect any updates later.

Star's doing very well in her recovery, and we're hopeful that soon we'll feel comfortable letting her spend as much time as she likes with her kittens. We'd also like to offer her the option of roaming the Academy grounds with the Faculty cats, but we're cautious about introducing too many new and exciting situations while she's convalescing.

So, that's all the important news - let's get to the photos!

Introducing the Coffee Cats!

March 20, 2017 by Mr. Academy in Cheatsheet, Introduction

On March 19th, the Coffee Cats transferred to Kitten Academy from one of the other fosters at On Angels' Wings. They're already nearly ready to graduate - we anticipate they'll only need to stay at the Academy for a couple of weeks.

We'll put together a video and add them to the weight chart as soon as we can! In the meantime, here's your kitten identification guide!

Latte can be identified by his lack of collar (if he is wearing it, it's blue, but he seems to prefer to not). In addition, his orange spots on his back are broken up with a lot of white, while Frappe and Caramel are more solid.

Caramel's easily identified by his black collar.

Frappe has a pink collar, and more white on her haunches. Frappe has already been adopted, but will still be staying to finish her classes at the Academy!

Mocha has a brown and pink collar.

Java has a distinct white tail tip - a little hard to see here. Java has also already been adopted, but will be staying on to finish out the semester.

Bean is black and white!

Here's some extra photos of the Coffee Cats!
