Cats in Baskets

Mama Cat and Peach Blossom have been settling into our household with lots of help from the kittens and Kitty Boy. Bobo enjoys his much enlarged family, but it’s Kitty Boy’s duty to keep everything smooth going. Just like he did with the kittens months ago.

This was taken on July 4th. Molly had put out baskets for the kittens and needed to add another for Kitty Boy. The third basket is off to the left where it can’t be seen in this photo.

The baskets were the center of play and rest for the kittens (and Kitty Boy) and they’re still used for play now.

Peach Blossom has been using the largest basket to sleep in at night. Both Peach Blossom and her mom are a lot less shy now.

Here’s Peach Blossom in her basket and her mom sitting close by. Mama Cat doesn’t run now when one of us has to walk by. Everyone eats breakfast and dinner in the kitchen and everyone loves their treats.

Mama Cat sometimes sleeps in the large basket at night when Peach Blossom is up in the loft with us or on the rug in front of the woodstove.
