February 15, 2026: First Full Day with In House Kittens

The kittens, Orange Juice and Chemæra were snuggled on the bed with Liesl when I popped in to check on them first thing this morning. They are so adorable. It’s at least a good start to our project.

The kittens ended up staying all day. They mostly sleep in the daytime so it was easy for them to just nap away in the extreme comfort of Liesl’s room with giant cat tree, comfy bed, extra dog bed on the floor, and air conditioning. They’ve never had it so good.

I worked most of the day, there is a lot to be done. I drove Marcela to her church to pick up a care package, and then we stopped by La Colonia and I got the cheese that Luciana and I need to make our homemade mac ‘n’ cheese for dinner tonight.

The girls came out to run errands tonight. We stopped by Marcela’s house and they played with Happy (her kitten.) Then we went over to April and Ava’s house and hung out for most of an hour. We talked D&D, Mothership, and played a little Family Feud. Then we stopped by the pharmacy and I stocked up on expectorant (Luciana and I are both still quite sick.) Then we swung back to Marcela’s and dropped off some medicine for her.

Back home, Luciana and I cooked up mac ‘n’ cheese for dinner. It turned out pretty well. Then the girls and I settled in to watch Disney’s Zootopia and Zootopia 2 back to back. Not my favourate movies, but they are watchable.

It was a full day of the little kittens living in the house and it went well. They seem to be happy and have no interest in leaving. They are safe in there and we are planning on installing catios for them, there are spaces where the old air conditioning units were (before we installed the modern ones) so those old rebar cages should work just fine.

It’s going to be a challenge, but these are awesome cats. We are hopeful that they will work out.
