The Jiro Palace renovations are finished, so Hazel and her kittens have been moved to their new digs. We just closed the door of their cat carrier – their safe cave – and air-lifted them across the room. Hazel was not thrilled about being moved, but she seemed to understand pretty quickly that it was an upgrade.
It was late evening by the time everything was finished, so we put in food and water – and cameras – and left them in peace for the night. The security cameras are so helpful! Next morning I could see that Hazel had come out of the carrier soon after I left. She tiptoed around at first, but seemed to like what she saw. She found the water and kibble up on the low shelf, she found the litter box, and also the wet food. Before midnight she had eaten, used the box, and been up on the shelf to drink. Throughout the night she would go in the carrier with the kittens, then come out and relax and stretch out on the floor for a few minutes before going back in. I think she likes it.
Her kittens sure do! Two of them came out of the carrier first thing in the morning and started to explore. Then a third one. It seems to be a good surface for them to walk – not too slippery. I think they’re walking better than Mouse’s kittens at the same age.
