7:45am - The Housekeeper awoke to a Jasper Scarf cuddle and much purring. Everyone seemed a little confused that there was no breakfast being served and no sign of any food during the normal morning routine.
9:00am - After a quick cuddle with each of the boys, The housekeeper took Jasper and Dino to the vets for their ops. They both went straight into their basket without any fuss and were actually worryingly quiet on the short car journey. We can ring to see how they are at lunchtime, and collect them between 4 and 6pm.
9:05am - Mr Housekeeper gave Crystal and Amber their breakfast and The Housekeeper was greeted at the door by a very perplexed Crystal. Amber doesn't seem to fussed.
10.00am - The Housekeeper is trying to look like she's working and being productive, but the three day old muzzy headache and preoccupation about how the boys are isn't really helping much.
1pm - The Housekeeper and Crystal are in the workshop. Amber currently has the house to herself. Everyone seems happy.
4pm - The Housekeeper sets off for the daily run to the post office and promises Crystal that as soon as she gets back, she will go to the vets to collect the boys and everything will be back to normal
5pm - The boys are back in town...... The boys are back in town ......
Well they never left it actually. The vets is two minutes away by car! But they are home.
Both have both of their front legs shaved where they wriggled so much that the vets couldn't get their drips/anesthetics in. Apparently Dino made lots of fuss when it was his turn to be anaesthetised, which in turn upset Jasper and he started crying too. They are both a little sleepy and disorientated and after a quick lap round the house to check that everything was still in place, and a kiss on the nose from Crystal, they have both settled down. Dino is in the fleece bed and Jasper is in the open cat carrier, lying on the fleece bedding in there.
7pm - The Housekeeper just woke up from a long cat kip on the sofa. It wasn't intentional but was obviously very much needed.
7;05pm Dino is now in the kitchen, demanding food from Mr Housekeeper which is a good sign! Jasper has run after him and attempted to scale the kitchen work surface, which Mr Housekeeper thinks may have hurt him a little as he may have kitten tears in his eyes.

VE (T) Day 1
Today it was the girls turn for a great adventure into the big wide world - otherwise known as a two minute car journey to the local vets for their annual boosters.
Amber hates the cat carrier with a passion and shakes like a leaf every time she is taken to the vets, so we now have a tried and tested method to get her into her basket without her being able to run away. This involves closing every possible door in the house to narrow down the escape routes to run away from The Housekeeper, hiding the cat carrier in the bath, picking Amber up, carrying her into the bathroom and shutting the door, leaving The Housekeeper, cat carrier and cat in a confined 10 foot square room!!!!! That's the theory......
9am - The Housekeeper empties the bins, puts the recycling out and does odd jobs to disguise the fact that she is shutting doors behind her where there are no cats in the room to reduce the amount of available hiding and running space.
9:15am - The Housekeeper puts her trainers on in the lounge. Amber is sat within picking up distance, washing. The Housekeeper takes the opportunity to try to pick her up - and misses.
Big Mistake. Huge! (The Housekeeper's favourite Pretty Woman quote!!)
9:20am - After 5 minutes of trying to persuade Amber to come out from under the settee, The Housekeeper changes tack and puts Crystal in her box, who at this point is rolling around on her back without a care in the world.
9:29am - The Housekeeper, after closing the lounge door with just her and Amber in the room, moves both settees, coffee table and other sundry objects and eventually, mid circuit, manages to rugby tackle Amber to the ground and get her into her cat carrier.
9:32am - The girls arrive at the vets, yelling their heads off - walk through the door and promptly turn off "fretful unhappy cat" mode and turn on "gorgeous, attention seeking look at me" Abyssinian mode. Amber refuses to come out of her carrier and needs "help"!
9:40am - Short chat with the vet, nurses and reception who are all very much looking forward to seeing the boys this coming Friday for their ops. Think there will be a lot of Abyssinian cat cuddles in the recovery room afterwards somehow.
9:50am - All home.
Boys - Much Abyssinian chirping to greet the girls.
Crystal - Washing in the lounge as she "smells of the vets"
Amber - Has retreated to the kitchen outhouse and is sitting on top of the large tall freezer, out of reach. She may be there some time.
The Housekeeper breathes a sigh of relief and puts the kettle on, £91 poorer and with very sore knee caps from THAT rugby tackle. Think there may be stiffness and bruising tomorrow.

Hospitality
The Housekeeper's friend, Ian, came to stay last night. He lives in Somerset and was working in London today so took advantage of driving up on Sunday afternoon, rather than Monday morning, a pub dinner out in the evening with The Housekeepers and a bed for the night, before setting off into the big smoke.
After the inevitable welcome wind round the legs from Dino, claws in the back of the knee from Crystal and complete ambivalence from Amber, he settled down into a chair with a coffee and the Jasper scarf and then had them all running round like loonies again when he produced some meaty cat treat sticks from his bag. All, that is, except Amber, who just doesn't DO cat treats.
The Housekeeper and Ian later went off to bed for the night, leaving Mr Housekeeper in front of a late night documentary. The Housekeeper lay in the quiet of a dark room listening to the stillness - and the cries of GET OFF, GET DOWN and GET OFF THERE coming from the other room.
Crystal settled into Mr Housekeeper's arms when he finally came to bed and purred like a tractor and The Housekeeper had her first uninterrupted nights sleep for weeks. Apparently both the boys had spent their entire night with Ian, who got rudely awoken at 5:10am by Jasper with his "I Love You" routine of licking the chin, nose, ears and eyelids!!!!!!!!!!
He had been warned to shut the door but declined!!!!!!!

Lesson of the Day - Amber
Ouch
CAT: When deciding to leap in a graceful arch with full spring from the back paws, from the dining room table to the conservatory table ( 5 feet apart) it is prudent to remember that there is a glass partition between the two tables.
This is the fixed panel of the sliding patio doors. It doesn't open - and NEVER has. The doors have been in place for 20+ years. Amber has lived with us for 2.
Forgetting this vital piece of information results in a headache, a slide down a pane of glass which you can not grip onto with your claws and a rapid loss to your Abyssinian dignity.
HUMAN: Repeat after me .... I must not laugh. I must NOT laugh. I MUST NOT laugh... Ahhhh sod it!!!!!

NATURE
Very laid back and sweet natured. Knows what she wants, how to tell you what she wants and how to get it! Owner of the "smacky paw of doom" which she uses on Jasper and Dino's head to tell them to behave, when she has had enough of them!
CUDDLY
Human - Not during the day. Very cuddly at night in bed but only with Mr Housekeeper. If he is away with work she will not come to bed. Crystal is very much a Daddy's girl. Crystal used to like a lap when she was a small kitten, but once Amber moved in, she stopped sitting on humans. It's beneath her!
Cat - Crystal used to cuddle up with Amber when Amber was small, but no so much as they have got older
VOCAL
Mew - Quiet. Sounds like she has a permanent sore throat
Purr - Loud. Like a tractor!

The Impossible we can do now. Miracles take a little longer!
The boys and girls now regularly play together after breakfast and spend the mornings running at full steam around the whole house, leaving no prisioners. However when it comes to sleeping everyone tends to sleep alone, with the exception of the boys who always curl up together, either in their fleece bed or a radiator hammock.
Yesterday evening, The Housekeeper finished a phone call and turned around to see three cats sharing the two radiator hammocks in the dining room. Nothing new there - until closer inspection revealed that it wasn't Jasper and Dino curled up together for a cuddle, but AMBER and Jasper. This is the very first time that we have seen any sort of real affection between the girls and the kittens, which made it all the more special.
As if not to be outdone, approx. two hours later, The Housekeepers found that Dino had decided that it was his turn for a cuddle with Amber too!
This is just the best possible outcome of integrating the kittens into the household that either of The Housekeepers could have hoped for. One things for sure. They are not all going to fit into the same hammocks for much longer, at the rate that the boys are growing!!!!

Scarf
Jasper's new nickname.
Jazz has taken to cuddling The Housekeeper in bed every night.
However, being an attention seeking small fawn Abyssinian kitten, he doesn't curl up by her feet, or in a ball by her side. Jasper's idea of sleeping with "Mum" is to lie horizontally across her neck, with his tummy towards her chin.
He never does it when she's awake as she gets into bed, but he's always there when she wakes up.
If she wakes in the night, he comes to, gives her an Abyssinian cat kiss on the cheek, washes her eyelids and if she's REALLY lucky, he tries to put his tongue up her nose and in her ears and then settles back down and goes back to sleep again.
