Crabtree Kitten Crew Reach One Pound

 The Crabtree kittens have reached a pound.   This is the weight generally achieved near one month of age.

Wilson is the heaviest but only by a few tenths of an ounce.

They're so cute when they play together.  Mom is doing great, still caring for them like a champ.

Silverton Cat Rescue offered to take them today, but they can't take mom, since she's wild, so they'll stay here for awhile longer.   Removing kittens from their mom isn't ever a good thing, til they're a little older.  Hard on the kittens, hard on mom and hard on the fosterer.

I took my car in yesterday and got the belts tightened.  They were quite loose, hence the screeching.  The mechanic showed me his awesome electric bikes, one of which folds up to go easily in the back of the car.  They can all go 45 miles on a single charge, even if you don't assist the battery charge by peddling.  He didn't tell me how much he paid for them but he said they're very costly.  I was in awe.  

I also went to the lake and had a grand time paddling around in my little kayak.  It was about 85 degrees, which was perfect weather for the lake.  Today its cloudy and probably will only get to mid 70's--a good temperature for actually getting the lawn mowed, which I have successfully put off for some time.
