Ready for Adoption!

The Benders are ready to meet you!  They should be at PAWS Cat City by mid-afternoon today if you want to stop by and say hello or to take some home!  Please contact Cat City first to make sure the kittens are there, just in case there are delays.


You could be going home with Zuko, who is the first to run after a toy but also the first to jump onto a lap...

Azzy, who has the absolute cutest meow and noises we've ever heard...

Momo, one of the sweetest kittens ever...

Fun, outgoing Appa...

adorable, loving Iroh...

or the super cool Ozai!

Sleeping Kittens

Is there anything in the world cuter and more innocent than a sleeping kitten?  But where and how do they sleep?   Let's see.. 

sitting up on a high perch...

passed out on the floor...

on their side on top of the laundry basket...

all together in the crate...

snuggled on top of the crate...

alone wrapped up in a blanket...

in the litterbox in a heart shape...

stretched out in the kitty bed...

even face down hanging over the bed!

So the answer is.. kittens sleep anywhere, everywhere, and every which way!  And this is one of the reasons they're arguably the most adorable, lovable creatures ever.

Weigh-in Update

The kittens had a busy day today, we took them into PAWS to get vaccinated and weighed.  They had a little accident on the way over but Rebecca quickly got them all bathed and prettified.  Appa got to meet some kids who were there for an educational session, and they all got to hold him, aww!


Jon and I were shocked to see that Azula (or Azzy, as we call her) only weighed 2.4 pounds, which is the same weight as Zuko.  The little tabbies weighed in at around 1.5 lbs, so for those of you eager to adopt them unfortunately you'll have to wait at least another 2 weeks, but the good news is that they'll still be with us which means a lot more photo moments!


Here's a comparison of Azzy and Ozai - they're kind of camouflaged in the blanket but isn't it a huge difference?

Good night lovelies!

Family Portrait, Take 1

Oh kittens, can we please get a photo of all of you together?

Ok, ready?  Everyone look at the camera!

Nooo, don't run off!  How about just 4 of you?

Ahh, stop getting away!  Fine, at least do a paired one.

Thanks babies!  Ok, now you can go eat.

But we're trying this again soon!

The Fiery Azula

The only girl of the Benders, Azula definitely lives up to her name.  It's her world and we're all just living in it.  She plops down wherever she wants and kicks the boys out of their beds.  She constantly chases Zuko around to remind him he's not the top kitten around here.  And she's already scratched up Jon's $1600 computer chair, eek!  But he doesn't really mind as she often cuddles on his lap and purrs away.  Plus she has super soft fur and has such pretty coloring.

All hail Princess Azula!
