Curl Essence Mikita... silver girl |
Mikita is a bright black silver girl. When she walks and plays in the sunlight, her silver undercoat is absolutely beautiful.

I will share a little about each kitten's personality once I get their photos posted. Getting all our stuff put back after the workers finally left is taking a lot of our time.
New 7/6/23..
There are very few places in our house that are "off limits" to the cats. One is the kitchen counter next to the stove where I fix food. The other one is the top of our headboard... only because they get klutsy and knock stuff down. Most things in this house that are breakable and hard to replace are where cats can't go... like on walls, but the headboard is the one place they can get to where I have where I have things I don't want broken. It's so easy for them to get to that it's hard to keep them down. Mikita was so cute snuggled behind the silk plants on the headboard that I just had to take a couple pics before I chased her down.
Here's a couple more when they were on the bed watching me upload their pics to the website.

Pics and video taken 7/4...
These babies have had the run to the entire bedroom and bathroom for over a week now. Usually, the kittens will go back into the large cage and find a place on one of the tall condos for their naps. Not these guys. Maybe it's the heat, but we'll usually find them in the middle of the room or on the tile floor in the daytime. At night, they are on the bed. I came in just to sit and say hi to the babies. Once they woke up, they were all in for some 'hands on' time. Usually. if I'm planning to take pictures or videos, I'll ask Mike to come help to entertain them while I take the pictures. This was just spur of the moment and I was by myself socializing with the kittens.
Of all 4 of these babies, Mikita is always the first to come over for our attention. You'll see in the video on Shogi's page, where she just can't be kept out of the game if there's one going on anywhere in the room.

We took these this morning on 6/24. |
We don't let the kittens have the run of the entire bedroom until we're pretty sure they are too big to crawl through the wire on the big cage in the masterbedroom.
|
Once they find out they can have the run of the room, there is usually one in each group that thinks he or she should be able to decide escape when we put them back up at night and if they are just small enough to get their head through but not the shoulders, they get stuck and we're in rescue mode. Then, eventually, one will decide to climb to the top of the big cage but doesn't know how to get back down. (It's 12ft high.) We end up keeping the ladder in the bedroom to rescue the kitten on top of the cage.
In these 3 photos below, Mikita is the darker kitten on the left. Click any photo to enlarge.

I'm posting this slideshow on each kitten's page. However, the videos below will not be duplicated on the different pages because they take so long to upload. Again, the videos take a really long time to load to our phones so you may want to watch them on your computer rather than on your phones.
I have 6 short videos of Charlotte's babies of when we first brought them out of the big cage in the master bedroom and put them on the bed. I'm posting them on different pages so if you want to see all of them, click on the different pages for Mikita, Skeye, Simba and Shogi. Keep in mind that this is the firs they have had the run of the entire room. We'll take new photos of them sometime next week when they have made this room their own.
Video and photos taken 6/12. |
I had a request for videos and new photos of both Mikita and Puff. I'm adding a slideshow of the still photos of these two cuties to both pages. There are several videos and they take much longer to post so I'm dividing them and putting some on each kitten's individual pages.
|
Here's a couple of the videos we took this morning of Mikita and Puff... check Puff's page for others.
The photos below were taken on 5/31... 2 weeks before the videos and slideshow above.
Mikita is on the left in photo below
And on the right in the back in photo below.
