Weekly Pet Challenge 4: the Kittens

Welcome everyone to week 4 of my pet round up. Meet Oliver (orange) and Nix (black). We rescued these two little kittens and have had them for about two weeks. They are about 8 weeks old now and they are boths so incredibly tiny! There have been times when I roll over in bed at night and wake up like, "oh crud there's a kitten" lol.

(the two of them decided to fall asleep on my computer when I was working on my final presentation for Journalsim class...)

They are so incredibly adorable and I love them so much! They were pretty easy to litter train, however they for some reason love peeing on my curtains....and there have been a couple times when I woke up because they peed on my comfoter by my feet but hey they're kittens, whatcha gonna do?

One downside is they do have really bad fleas, they had them when we rescued them and we are trying really hard to get rid of them, pretty much flea combing them every other day and spraying my room with the egg killer spray and they are too young to use flea treatment because it could give them sesures. If any of you reading this out there have advice on getting rid of fleas let me know.

Other than that, they are just really crazy active, they love play fighting and attacking my other cat Kitsu's tail. Kitsu didn't like them at first but now he has gone into pretty much "mommy mode" and it's adorable and sweet. Its funny because they are terrified of the ferrets (and are smaller than them...)

Enjoy the cute pictures:

I guess my backpack makes a comfy seat.

 Nix was cuddling Oliver's butt and we were making jokes that she was like "oh butt, tell me your secrets" lol

Hope you guys enjoy these cute posts. I would love feedback from all the readers out there. I am actually writing this at work, I am so bored and I have had almost nothing to do all day. This has litterally been one of the longest work days ever! One minute feels like 5 and it is just rediculous. And before anyone goes crazy about "hey you shouldn't be on blogger at work" I am on my lunch break lol. Just blagh, long day. Anyhow, have an awesome day guys! <3 Kimmie

Weekly Pet Challenge: Week 3 - Kitsu

Hey guys, welcome to another week in my pet round up! Moving on in order, I am going to be talking about my cat Kitsu. According to my friend Emmy, Kitsu means kitty in Estonian and she suggested the name when we were first trying to name him and we couldn't think of anything else so it just kind of stuck. After he got his tail bitten he has a permanent mini-kink in his tail so now we jokingly call him "Kinky Kitsu."

I already did a post about Kitsu when we rescued him, which you can read here. But basically we found him roaming around our block crying and following everyone around. We had been seeing him for a couple days and just decided to try and catch him, give him some food and see if we could find him a home. He was so skinny and skittish when we found him that we just guessed that he was dumped at the park near our house.

We weren't able to find him a home so we just kept him and now he is a plump 6-8 month old kitten who loves sleeping on my bed and laying in front of the window (he gets mad and meows when we close the curtains because he loves the sun.)

The original Kitsu post has more photos of when we first got him so here are some updated ones:

 

Johnny fell asleep on my bed and all three kittens decide to sleep next to his legs. (Kitsu is the largest one, black and white, in between Johnny's legs lol)

Weekly Pet Challenge: Week 2 - The Ferrets

Hi guys! Welcome to week two of my pet round up! I'm excited to share this with you! Like I said last week I am doing the posts of my animals in the order that I got them and next on the list is my ferrets a.k.a. fuzzbutts!

Meet Kiki (the white one, girl) and Zero (the black one, boy). We changed their names when we got them (but still use their original names as nicknames from time to time) they were originally named Sweetheart and Captian Pebbles lol.

I love these two even though they can be pains in the butt, especially when Zero becomes an escape artist and I wake up to see him crawling around.

Enjoy the cuteness!

(posted these two pictures in my post about when we first got them.)

this is a picture of Kiki in my pocket lol

sorry that these are sideways but I hope you enjoy! <3 Kimmie

Weekly Pet Challenge, Part 1: Lemi!

Just for fun I wanted to participate in this pet challenge. So for the next couple weeks, who knows how long, I will be posting random pictures of my animals with a little post about them. After that I may continue just posting random pictures but who knows.

So I thought I would start with the animal I got first, my dog Lemi.

We adopted Lemi Winks from my mom's work friend who couldn't have her anymore because Lemi hated her husband. We have now had Lemi for about 7 years.

She is kinda annoying sometimes because she likes to yip ALOT and is sometimes one of the worst trained dogs, but I still love her all the same. So here are some cute pictures of her:

ANIMAL ANIMALS ANIMALS

So this post is all about the pets that I really want. However, unfortunately the first three are all illegal for purchase in California :( But onto the cuteness!

1. Sugar gliders: are small marsupials that are closely related to flying squirrels. They are mostly nocturnal creatures and eat fruit and yogurt and glider pellet food. They are very codependent animals and they require you to spend a lot of time with them and they bond to usually one person. They can fit in your pocket or purse and will just chill there. Believe it or not they actually bark at you for attention! They are so adorable and tiny and I just want to put it in my pocket :) My boyfriend and I want to get two and name them Momo (after the flying lemur in Avatar the Last Air Bender) and Icarus (after the flying squirrel in Nemo's Adventures in Slumberland.) 

2. Hedgehog: ok if you don't know what a hedgehog is then you have been living under a rock! Domesticated hedgehogs like warm climates (above 72 degrees) eat mostly insects but domestic diets include cat food, meal worms, cooked unseasoned meat, fruits and vegetables. They are still scared of predators  such as humans but they are mostly acclimated to being house pets now. And I mean come on just look at em!

3. Fennec Fox: OMG WOULD YOU LOOK AT THOSE EARS!!! I just want to pet them!!!! SO CUTE!!! Ha ha ha. Fennec foxes are smaller nocturnal foxes that originated in the Sahara of Northern Africa. They normally live in burrows dug out in the sand. They act like a mix of a dog&cat. "They are a ball of energy 15% of the time, snuggly 20% of the time and asleep the rest." They are pretty easy going and like to bond much like sugar gliders.

So yeah, those are my "exotic pet wants." Big interweb hugs! Hope I showed you a little cuteness :)
