A Day in the Life of Prince Zuko

Zuko is the most curious and outgoing of the Benders.  He is the first to run around exploring new places and bat new toys, so we thought he'd be the most difficult to calm down.  However, he LOVES to snuggle, especially on laps!


Like most kittens, Zuko has a pretty fabulous life.

He wakes up...

plays with toys...

wrestles one of his bros...

eats a family meal...

naps with a buddy...

grooms himself after climbing onto daddy's lap...

and looks cool while doing it all.

First kittens of 2011

There have been no young kittens at the shelter lately, so we weren't expecting fosters til spring.  Imagine our surprise and delight when Rebecca at PAWS called us to pick up 6 little ones!  We were a bit nervous as we'd never fostered a whole litter before, but also very excited.  These guys are around 7 weeks old, a little older than our usual bottle feeders, which makes it easier since we won't have to wean them.

We decided to name them after Avatar:The Last Airbender (which is an awesome anime btw) characters as some of them immediately reminded us of their namesakes.  So with no further ado, here's a preview of the Benders as they first arrived.

and a bonus photo... of the fearless Prince Zuko.

Previous Fosters

As our first entry, we have to post the first 4 kittens who came into our lives, gave us indescribable joy and precious memories, and inspired us to start this blog.

Tigger, our first foster ever...

Koku, the snuggliest one yet...

Sweet, lovely Sophie...

and the ridiculously adorable Pichu.
