This order was so pretty as I packaged it up.
Eight bars of goat milk soap, set into a box and photographed a bit like they're vertical. The soaps all have different coloured tops with pretty swirls and gold accents.

Look at Cayenne, purring up a storm and being delightful.

This morning he has totally caved and is headbutting me and requesting head kisses.

Good morning from Ophelia who is looking very grown up today and had to suffer through SO MANY little head kisses after I took this photo.

If you look closely you can see her Big Girl tattoo in her ear!
A very adorable tabby and white kitten, with excellent long white whiskers and the best little pink nose. She is sitting up in a cat bed, and you can see her round dotted desexing tattoo inside her left ear.

TINY CRIMINAL.

Walked his poop foot evvvvverywhere. Had opinions about getting it clean. Nearly earned himself an entire bath.
A very small tabby kitten, sitting on a clean puppy pad and looking very sorry for himself. His ears are upset and a little confused.

We don't do Thanksgiving here, but I am looking at everyone's delicious meals today and obviously I am hungry. I also feel like turkey and pie!

I know it may be hard to find something to be thankful for this year, but remember, there are always cats.

This is a very good kitten. Look at her!

Full of playtime and purring and also a little bit full of bad poops, but we're getting that sorted.
A very very cute tabby kitten, sitting on the edge of her bed and looking up with giant wide blue green eyes. She is very pretty and looks like she's posing for her photo.

Winnie and Ophelia have been listed for adoption! I'm excited for them to find their forever humans.

A little snuggly grey kitten, looking totally unimpressed with my paparazzi skills. She's sitting on my clean basket of laundry.

Cayenne has almost given in to the domestic life! He lets me kiss his head and huff him and purrs begrudgingly after an appropriate amount of patting.

(I did just notice I need to clean his ears though!)
A very very cute tabby kitten curled up in a fluffy dark grey bed. He has excellent white curved whiskers and I've just noticed his left ear is very dirty.

Little Carolina now leaps up and headbutts me and demands pats when I arrive at her crate. She's probably almost ready for freedom!

Ophelia and Winnie are back, spayed and recovering! Ophelia, as is tradition, is making sure nothing changed in her absence and not letting any of her godparents baff the vet smell off her.

Winnie has decided my lap is snuggly and isn't moving.
A very very adorable grey kitten staring deep into your soul. Ophelia, a tabby and white kitten, fresh home from the vet and already contemplating the chaos she can cause. She's sitting up tall and looking back over her shoulder a bit.

Oh no it's TOO MANY LITTLE HEAD KISSES for Cayenne.

(He's much less spicy today. Doesn't turn into a tornado when I handle him!)
A very worried little tabby kitten face. He's trying to sink into a deep grey fluffy bed, but I have been kissing his head and playing with his little paws.

I spent the morning making test batches of a new night cream for a client. Lots of new to me ingredients and some fun testing. Hopefully she's happy and we can move forward with a big batch or two!

Meg was VERY insistent that Ophelia's entire ear needed cleaning.

(Photo from a few days ago.)
A small tabby kitten, looking up at me. One of her ears is entirely folded back, and you can see half of a black cat snuggled with her.

I didn't get a photo but omg Ophelia was SO MAD to be in a carrier and going to the vet this morning. It's Spay Day for her and Winnie! They'll be advertised for adoption in a day or two.

Kittens are pretty good though. Carolina is leading the way and squashing her brother into submission.
A small tabby kitten is sitting on top of a grey cat cave, which is collapsed under her weight. You can see me lifting an edge to show her brother's tabby face, just peeking out from inside the squashed cave.

I got my first invoice from the builder today and I have spent the last three hours hyperventilating.

Like yes, there is insurance money to rebuild the house but omfg this is A LOT of money at once.

And we are BARELY started.

PSA for today: Make sure you are fully insured. Properly.

RELEASE ME.

AM NOT CRIMBINAL.

DO NOT DESERVE JAIL.
A small tabby kitten clings to the bars of her crate, showing off her incredible spotty belly. She is screaming and I'm almost sure you can hear it through the photo.

OMG this FACE.

Cayenne was NOT thrilled with my presence this morning. I made it worse by laughing and baby talking him.
A small tabby kitten, with his ears sideways and back, glaring utter daggers at me as I scratch his chin and cheek. He is furious. He is hissy! He might be enjoying it a teeny bit but his face does not share that sentiment. His tabby sister is looking at my hand like "but you could pat me?" She is just behind him.

Day two of the spicy babies. Carolina purrs a lot once she relaxes, and Cayenne had a little purr for me too.

They're playing and eating and calling for all the big cats to come rescue them.
Two tiny tabby kittens inside a grey fluffy cave. Carolina at the front is basically squashing her brother into the shadows at the back.

Churu really is miracle treats.

Please welcome Carolina (squashed) and Cayenne (squashing), our little spicy babies.

And thank you to @perclexed.bsky.social for suggesting chili names.
Two very small tabby kittens. Carolina, on the right of the photo, is tentatively licking at the churu tube I am holding, while her brother Cayenne squashes her into the bed so he can also get into the churu.

Sabine update! She has decided sitting on the couch within patting distance is acceptable!

I am SO proud of her.
I am sitting on a blue stripe covered couch, and you can just see my hip. About 25cm away sits Sabine, a black cat with a white splash on her chest. She is letting me stroke her cheeks and chin while we sit quietly.

Little spicy babies!

Little boy at the front and little girl in the back. I've shown them the joy of churu, and I'll probably leave them to decompress a bit.
