Nala

Happy new year! Kelsey and I wanted to send you an update on our two cat adoptions from the end of August. One was Sideburns, and the other was Nala. They are doing GREAT!! Sideburns has lost a couple pounds since we started weighing him. About a month after we adopted him he was 16 lbs, and now he is 14 lbs. He looks really healthy! We really got rid of his extra chub. And he runs around so much more now that is at a healthier weight. Though, no worries, his purr motor still revs up quite often, especially for food. And Nala has grown up a lot! She is 7 months now and a little over 6 lbs. She was 3.5 when she showed up. She is just full of so much energy, and goes on her own solo rampages often. When we first met her, she was hiding out in the play room at the Clairemont Petsmart when we were meeting Sideburns. She jumped out and surprised us with what is her signature 'play cry'. She continues to make the same noises 4.5 months later! She also squeaks in a way very similar to a mountain pika, so that's her new name. They get along great together! Though they are not a pair that always sleeps together. They do occasionally. And the kitten is happier to be bigger as the big guy was a little rough at playing at first (rough, but not aggressive). Sometimes the kitten bothers him too much but he needs to be chased around a little to lose some of those extra pounds he came with for free when we adopted him! :) Here are a few pictures from the last few months: Cheers! Kelsey and Jeff, and Moose (formerly Sideburns) and Pika (formerly Nala))
