Mom needs to realize that corralling days have hit the road. Her kittens are learning how to be terrorists from a pro crew.

Val, its even better in person.
My first Jackson was a professional kitteh bowler. He would get them on my kitchen tile floor and send them sliding and then run to intercept and slide them back the other way.
It only work while the kittens are around 4-5 weeks old and don't have traction on the tile yet.
Great sport.

I bet tango and Bella look cute when they're cuddled together like yin and yang. Happy that they won't be separated

Its good that Tango will have a few days to settle in her new home before Bella gets there.
There are also 2 Siamese living there too.

I am so glad that I was able to get Tango into the carrier to make the plan come together. I had serious doubts that it would happen. The Diva is still angry about Tango. She wouldn't come read with me last night but chose to stay on the cat tree while I was with her in the foster bedroom. Wonder how she will like 5 kittens running around in there.

When she gets invaded by kittens she may wish that it was just Tango in there with her.
Poor spoiled Diva.

I think my plan is to try and kitten proof the doors between the living room and the den and the living room and the dining room so the kittens can come out of the hall into the living room instead of the foster bedroom. Make it so the Missy family can jump over the blockades but the kittens can't get over them. Its a good thing that my house is not scheduled for the Parade of Homes his year.

Maybe you and the rescue lady can organize the Parade of Cat Lady Homes as a benefit fundraiser.

Call it the Parade of Cat Houses and it should get a huge turnout.

I need to get some of those cat walkways up on the walls and knock a few holes between rooms for easy cat access from room to room.

Update on tango from her new Mom....
"Sending you an update on Tango. Her new name is Olive (like in black olives)! LOL She is doing great. Did absolutely so good on the ride home but, when we got home she went into hiding under the bed – which is understandable considering what she has been through. So late last night I was reading and playing on my iPad in my bedroom and here comes Olive.
Today she is doing even better was sitting on my lap for a little bit while I was petting her and she was purring away! Just before she was watching birds from the window…and was ducking down every time one flew by. Too funny!
She is a sweetie and I think she is going to work out just great…anxious to get her sister Bella here with her…that should make her feel even better. Will keep you posted."
Will see if I can post the pic that she sent.

Olive AKA Tango seems to have settled in perfectly. She's probably thrilled to be allowed in the bedroom.

Olive is also probably glad to have the diva Sabrina out of her life.
I can certainly relate to that since she is totally ignoring me.

He would get them on my kitchen tile floor and send them sliding and then run to intercept and slide them back the other way. It only work while the kittens are around 4-5 weeks old and don't have traction on the tile yet. Great sport. When I was a kid we had a long hall with a wood floor. One of our cats used to love being "bowled" the length of the hall, and would run back for another ride. My dad was the bowler in this case. My brother had a cat that loved to get on the office chair and be spun around until he flew off. He'd stagger around and then hop right back on for another trip. Cats are weird.

I got all kinds of weird going on here.
It sure would be quiet and boring without them although a little less weird might be nice too.

I dunno about weird...when I was a kid I used to spin round and round til I was dizzy and fell down - then do it again. Didn't everyone???

I did Misspettigrew. Loved getting dizzy on the merry go round in the playground or on those teacup rides at the amusement parks. So we're both weird. That must be why we love the kitties.

Olive is so cute (I never thought Tango fit her), I wonder if they'll change Bella's name too? You're right she does have a big head
