Go buy jam and hot sauces here.

Good news! Martin was adopted last night. I’m not surprised that he was the first to go, given that he’s FEARLESS.
And speaking of Martin, I found several more pictures of him on my hard drive, and so to celebrate that he’s found his forever home, today is Martin day!
Melodie, doing some heavy-duty flirting, is apparently annoying Martin.
“I SAID stop making the googly eyes at me, Melodie!”
“A mancat needs to stay clean, and I can’t concentrate on my cleaning with you staring at me!”
Helpful Melodie cleans the spot Martin missed.
“Hi! Hi! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”
“Hey, Mister, you sure are purty.”
::smooch::
::::LOVE::::
And while I was poking around my hard drive (which apparently I need to do a little more often!) I found a movie I made in mid-August of MMM&D. I turned the Ba-Da-Beam laser light on for them to see what they’d do. As you can see, three were interested, and Dodger was wary and kept his distance.
The kittens are usually interested in the Ba-Da-Beam for a while, but since it just has the same pattern they get eventually get bored. The FroliCat BOLT keeps them entertained longer. Between the two toys, they manage to be entertained!
I have the BOLT in the dining room, and when I turn it on, if Sugarbutt and Tommy are in the house, they come RUNNING. Usually a few minutes after I’ve turned it on, there’s a cluster of cats in the dining room. I’ll have to try to remember to get a movie of that one of these days.

I initially read “cluster of cats” as a “duster of cats” and thought that was an excellent name for a group of kitties!
I’m so happy for Martin! (And you…I know it’s a relief!)
Yay!!! Martin is going to his forever home where he will be spoiled totally rotten for many years to come!!!
Those “cat lover” mugs in the photos in yesterday’s entry? Yesterday, I got my coffee served to me in one of ’em at a local diner. When the waitress brought it I cried “LOVE this mug!” She was relieved because she said some customers complain about it (wtf?).
Yay for Martin. he is so beautiful that I am not surprised in the least. Here’s hoping the rest find their forever homes now.
Was that Coltrane IN the house? 🙂
Martin’s new humans are very nice. They first looked at Baylee (little orange and white kitten), but soon became smitten with Martin though when we let him out he wanted nothing to do with them and was busy exploring the cat room and climbing that scratching post pole and getting into the cabinet. Brat. LOL
No, that’s Newt in the house. 🙂 (I’m SURE Coltrane’s time is coming, though!)
Oh shucks, they sure do look alike!
Sooo happy for sweet adorable Marty and not the least bit surprised either. The friendliest ones get the most notice usually. I have a shy friend who picks the most timid pet to adopt to give them a chance others might not. I think that is very sweet. I picked one of my cats because she was the most mellow of a large litter. We had a wild man (buff boy) at home and I thought it would calm him down. It helped a lot but he was always a bit wild still. My husband wanted the wildest kitten. I think it would have been a disaster.It was my turn to pick thank God.
Have you named any kitties after the Dexter characters?
Paula that is a wonderful idea!!
