Kittens are pretty good though. Carolina is leading the way and squashing her brother into submission.

I got my first invoice from the builder today and I have spent the last three hours hyperventilating.

Like yes, there is insurance money to rebuild the house but omfg this is A LOT of money at once.

And we are BARELY started.

PSA for today: Make sure you are fully insured. Properly.

AM NOT CRIMBINAL.

DO NOT DESERVE JAIL.

Winnie remains small and ridiculously cute.

OMG this FACE.

Cayenne was NOT thrilled with my presence this morning. I made it worse by laughing and baby talking him.

Day two of the spicy babies. Carolina purrs a lot once she relaxes, and Cayenne had a little purr for me too.

They're playing and eating and calling for all the big cats to come rescue them.

Churu really is miracle treats.

Please welcome Carolina (squashed) and Cayenne (squashing), our little spicy babies.

And thank you to @perclexed.bsky.social for suggesting chili names.

Sabine update! She has decided sitting on the couch within patting distance is acceptable!

I am SO proud of her.

Little spicy babies!

Little boy at the front and little girl in the back. I've shown them the joy of churu, and I'll probably leave them to decompress a bit.

Apparently bleach scented fingers are catnip for Winnie. I'm typing one handed while she chomps me.

(I washed my hands with soap twice, so she should be safe)

Sabine is SO MAD. I picked up her front legs and held her hostage and KISSED HER LITTLE HEAD.

She's been angrily grooming herself for five minutes now.

(But she didn't hit me!)

Shhhhhhhhhh but I have some spicy babies coming today. The rescue is doing kitten math as they wait for remaining littermates to be trapped, so I'm taking 2 and the third is being paired with a friendly little guy.

OPHELIA SAT STILL!

I mean, right before and after this she was using my stomach as a wrestling ring to play with her sister, but look at how pretty she is.
November 22, 2025 at 6:07 AM
She's so pretty.

I am aware I share more photos of Winnie than Ophelia lately. It's because Winnie is very content to be a chill little lap baby and Ophelia is a chaos demon who won't sit still for photos.

Yesterday afternoon, watching the chickens and gravel trucks come in and out was serious business.

Meg was clearly slacking at her job, but Tom and Crumpet were on it.

Winnie is the cutest. Unbothered by the site traffic. Living her best life. Tried to steal my dinner. A++ kitten.
November 20, 2025 at 7:21 AM
Tom has decided he probably doesn't need to supervise the building ground works today, and has returned to his favourite spot in front of the door to watch chickens instead.
November 20, 2025 at 12:57 AM
The kittens have discovered the towel storage box.

Winnie is unimpressed with me bothering them. How dare.
November 19, 2025 at 7:44 AM
Today has been many many many loads of gravel delivered and compacted down. But look! It looks almost like a house site now!

I think tomorrow is foundation digging and plumbing.
November 19, 2025 at 5:26 AM
Everyone was very huffy that I wouldn't hang out with them or let them jump on my work benches, so they fell asleep instead.

Omg I have made SO MANY hand creams for online!

I finally found a moment to restock our goat milk hand creams in SEVEN varieties!

Eepy perfection!

They were so sleepy they made me sleepy too, so these photos are a few hours old.

This kitten is 0% bothered by anything. Machinery noises, vacuum cleaners, nothing.
