You keep being you Nathan.  Matthew will eventually look at what you are doing and realize you aren’t getting wet, cuz you doing the right thing!  Love Ella bella

Good boy Nathan! You are good example for Matthew. Just keep going the same way. You know that dry kitten is good and wet kitten not good, Matthew will learn the same for some day.

If you ask Andrew he will tell you Matthew will never learn. I have left the boys all out together the past 2 days. No one was dead and no hair all over. Kory barks at the babies when ever they come in his area. Matthew acts big but Kory is still bigger. He is going to be a sad boy if he gets by Kory's food while he was eating. The good thing is Kory eats his meals in his crate. He still charges at the cats when he is eating. Andrew know to stay away from him. His crate is open when he is not eating but his bones are in there. Matthew has even tried to go in when Kory is out of it. Alex was the only one that could go in his crate when he wasn't in it because he was bigger then Kory. Matthew isn't even as tall as Kory.

Mom

I was little worried when we leave all together when Vili&Pinja was babys but all went well, no dead kittens or half blind dog, no hair tufts etc.

Only one time were enough to Vili try go eat Viivi´s meal sametime, he scared so bad when Viivi give to him warning bark that he don´t do it anymore. Vili can play with Viivi´s bones and toys but foodbowl with meal on it... nope! Viivi don´t share it.

Matthew is hard-headed boy.

Meowmy

Matthew is hard headed for sure. He climbed all the gates after supper cause I didn't open the room up fast enough. Nate doesn't come out unless I open the gate. He does sit and cry till I do come to him. Now they are in their room at bedtime and eating times. Matthew learned, maybe, today not to mess with Andrew's food. Andrew went after him. He won't eat Andrew's but Andrew doesn't want him near him when he is eating. Alex and Andrew couldn't be fed close together or they would fight. Matthew will only eat pate but Andrew doesn't like pate. Matthew thinks he can take on Kory ate feeding time. He starts crabbing and Kory starts growling and chases him off. Nate knows to stay away from both. 

Mom

waitted me talked here. Me getted chased by da doggie. Him meany. Me was paying and him comed and tooked what me payed wif. Mom say it his. But him big me yittle and da toy yittle. Me yiked it. Me can picked up in me mouf and carried it. Him meany. Me just yiittle kid him old man.

Natfin

Yes Nate learned to leave Kory's stuff toys alone. He was playing with a little fox of Kory and as soon as he saw him playing with it he went over and took it away from Nate. Can't help it was in Nate's mouth. That little boy rather play with stuff toys then cat toys. Kind of makes me sad cause they didn't have cat toys to play with where they came from. Nate has taken a couple of my stuff toys. He hasn't messed them up so I leave them with him.

Mom

Nate is good and smart boy. And maybe little shy like Vili.

Poor little boys without toys but now their life is much much better with you.

We have buy so much cat toys to Vili&Pinja because we want them be happy. And we play with them every day. Pinja love laser toy and ball track toy. Vili love catnip toys. We can´t buy any stuff toys because Viivi will break them.

Meowmy

Your saying Nate likes stuffed toys mad me think of this - I have a stuffed Winnie the Pooh doll I have had since I was 7, so going on 47 years.   He’s seen a lot of life for sure.

every cat I have ever had, hates that Pooh doll.   I’ve had to put it away, because they e dragged it off beds, shelves, dressers and tried to kill it.

once they get to Ella’s age, about 7, they start to leave it alone.    But every single cat.

Nate's new steal is a ty Barbaro race horse that came out after he broke his leg and was put down. 

Mom

Me yiks me tuff oys. Me mom buyed me a kitty all me own. Me finded her kitty oy it mine too. Me hased 4 oys and Androo or Mattfew no payed wif dem dey me oys.

Natfin

What is wrong with Pooh 😀?

i have teddy bear what is maybe same age then I (43). I get it 1 year birthday present. It´s up high at bookshelf because otherwise Viivi put it into pieces. 

You are right Nate... Stuff toys are fun and good to play with.

Vili like no stuff catnip toys, he have mousies, rat and hedgehog.

Meowmy

I don’t know why they all hate Pooh.  Its just funny now.

Me no like but me must go to VET. Meowmy and mama say that doctor want see me again. Me is ok. Me say to meowmy and mama that me is ok no go to VET but they don´t listen to me. If doctor is nice to me then me is nice to doctor, me hope she only look not do anything else. Sametime dog get sting to her bum.

Nate ran into the shower curtain. We have a shower stall no tub. Nate got so made about it. I was laughing so hard. Guess he can't handle his kitty nip.

Poor Nate. No nip to him. Bad shower curtain almost get innocent little boy.

Sorry Nate but I laughed so much when I imagined big battle with you and shower curtain.

When Vili&Pinja were babys they kill our shower curtain, they play hide&seek around it and beated it up very badly (many little holes almost half way up).

Meowmy
