Freeeedom!

Finally! The week was over, enough with the benchrest, out you go little one! I took Munchy down and gave her some food, which she -how surprising- straight away went nuts with. Omnomnom! Who cares about being free when there's food! :O Poppy and Nala found her very interesting, but all Munchy cared about was food, and later on, their toy that was near the bench. It wasn't until the end that she started to show interest in those 2! Unfortunately her leg didn't handle it well, and I didn't let her out for long, but she loved every second of it! I think it was a little impressive as well, as her poofy outfit shows, but nevertheless, it was great for both of us :)

The 2 sisters got some nice food after all this as well, but they seemed to be way more interested in Munchy!

Munchy then went for the stinky pillow, but that didn't take long...

She still had plenty saved up energy to burn! :O

But oh, that poor leg wasn't taking it well :/

She then went for a toy near the bench, while Poppy and Nala kept a close eye on her!

It took a while, but finally, she showed a little interest in the other 2! Here you can also see that her leg isn't good, it's folded inwards so to say.

Still with a fluffy tail! I think it's the combination of freedom and unleashing all that stored energy after all those days being caged up, combined with the excitement of it all, while being a little impressed by things as well :)

Ready... set... go!

How I calmed MunchMunch down after all that? Well, you guessed it... food :D

With a little help from Dewey

I haven't posted a lot of Munchy pics, during this time I was busy with the 2 sisters and Munchy was still upstairs with benchrest. She was getting quite frustrated, which doesn't make for nice pics, poor thing... So here's some more of Poppy and Nala first. What always works wonders with kittens is giving them to Dew, when he's snoozing in the scratchingpole. Nala and Poppy are no exception!

This was one of the first moments for them really outside the bench (so not near the door of the bench), and it was scary but oh that TLC from my Dew, they love it! You can see well how much Poppy starts to relax :)

On the last pic you can see she's not fully relaxed, but all in all, a great step to practice being outside the bench! :)

Ohhh, a hanging basket!

When the worst part of their earmiteinfection was over (so the basket wouldn't get dirty from bits of earmite straight away), and the kittens were a bit more relaxed with me messing around in the bench (so the basket wouldn't be in the way), I gave them a hanging basket. And as usual with kittens, they loved it!

Nala was first to climb up the scratchingpole and into the basket, which didn't come as a surprise to me :)

But getting in there again turned out harder than expected, little miss stubborn decided she didn't need the scratchingpole to get in there! The result... :O

And even with the help of the pole, it turned out to be quite tricky when you're too eager... :O

Success! And she got all nuts straight away, with her back up, jumping around in the basket ^_^

Poppy decided it was time to check that thing out as well...

But Nala wasn't done playing and attacked Poppy before she could even enter the basket!

It took some time (and a lot of very blurry pics :D), but they calmed down eventually :)

But not for long! I took a toy and played with them through the bench, which they really enjoyed :)

She's not loving me as much yet, but I have to say, I secretly have a little crush on Poppy :$

She had a day where she sneezed a little and her eyes played up too (as you can see here), and I was worried she picked up Muncy's cat flu. Having to give any kitten or cat medication is never fun, but when you're trying to learn a kitten that you're okay, it doesn't help if they need meds! I cleaned her eyes a little and hoped for the best, and luckily she recovered within a day or so. Phew!

It's usually Poppy that can be found in the weirdest positions, but Nala shows she has her moments as well! Although it doesn't come close to Poppy though, she seems to think she's a hedgehog at times, rolls up like a ball (on her back, with those cute backlegs in the air) and continues snoozing. But more on that some other time!
