Eva has spay surgery!

At the end of August, when Eva was not quite 6 months old, she spent the night at the vet’s for her spay surgery. We wanted to have it done before school started so that Steve could be home with her while she was recovering. She came through the surgery just fine – the vet says she is very very healthy. The people who work at the vet’s office just loved her – they said she is the most loving kitty they ever had! But when Eva woke up from the surgery, she tried to take the stitches out, so…

Scary Kitty Marionette!

Steve has this cute marionette – it looks like a sealpoint Himalayan cat. he got it out the other day, and Eva was terrified of it! Unique and Tira wanted to play with it, but Eva didn’t want to be near it. It has little wooden feet that make clipclop noises on the floor – she especially didn’t like that! She eventually got close enought to sniff it, then decided she REALLY does not like it. She would run from the room, come back a couple minutes later, and if she saw the puppet, even if Steve wasn’t doing anything…

Eva and the Dog

Eva is getting to be such a big girl. She will be 5 months old tomorrow, and seems to have lost most of the kittenish look already . She and Tira and Unique get along quite well. The three of them play together, and a lot of times Eva and Tira play while Unique spectates. Unique has her grumpy moments, when she will hiss at Eva or Tira, but she never tries to hurt them. I think she is just trying to remind everyone that SHE is the queen of this house. The first picture is of Unique and Eva.…

Eva, growing up

Don’t be fooled by this look of sweet innocence! This young lady is a tough little tiger at heart. Tira, who used to enjoy harassing Unique, is now on the receiving end. Eva and Tira play together quite a lot, but Eva doesn’t quit when Tira cries “uncle”! Eva went back to the vet this past Monday – at 17 weeks, she weighs 5.1 pounds. She now has had all her shots, so will not need to go back until September, to be spayed. Tira giving Eva a bath. Of course, it didn’t take long for this to turn into…

Eva and her sisters.

Eva, Unique and Tira. They get along with each other quite well. Eva has her own dish in her crate, with kitten food, she still goes to the “big kitty” dishes, and they will let her push them away from their food! It’s obvious that Eva is growing, but she still seems so small next to the other two. Eva and Tira play quite a lot, with all the accompanying “someone is getting KILLED!!” noise, sometimes Eva plays with Unique, and sometimes all 3 thunder around the house like a herd of elephants.

Eva and Stephen sleeping.

I guess its obvious who belongs to who here! Eva looks for Stephen when he leaves the room, and usually only sits with Jill when she can’t find Stephen! Which is okay with Unique, who regards Jill’s lap as her own private territory that she does NOT like sharing with Tira and Eva. The three of them get along just fine, playing together and sharing teh food and water dishes. When Eva and Tira wrestle, it sounds like someone is getting killed! We thought Tira was hurting Eva and would break it up, but she would just go right back…

Eva, exhausted

Eva exhausted herself playing with a Kong Wubba on an elastic string that we had bought for Tira. she climbed up on the computer desk, started climbing over the book (“The Stand” by Stephen King) and just fell asleep there!
