Teaghan and Tomas' First Week at Home

Teaghan and Tomas

Born 24-Feb-2017

First day of their new forever home - 03-Jun-2017

 Teaghan and Tomas (or Tommy) are now home!  Here's how their first week went: 

First, Mommy Brenda (MB) and Daddy (aka the food man) went to Mommy Colleen's (MC's) house to pick them up.  It was a 2-1/2 hr trip by car.  It was a pretty ride and they were excited to finally meet T & T and Mommy Colleen and MC's Mom too.  

Their first meeting was very nice.  Mommie Colleen brought T&T out with their furry beautiful Mom McKenzie.  She made them feel nice and relaxed and gave them lots of love while they were waiting to be introduced to the new 'rents.  Everyone was nice and relaxed before they went into the carrier to get ready for the ride to their new house.  This is the picture of the Ts with McKenzie in a carrier on the table while they all got to know each other's smells.

After a nice visit, and lots of love and instructions and gifts, and more loves, and friendship, it was time to go. Here they are in their carrier while on the way to their new home. Teaghan was as quiet as could be while Tomas sang the song of his people every 5 minutes or so and tested the metal to make sure it would hold them both until they arrived at their new home.

Wow!  Once they got to their new home, they had the joy of discovering a new place to cozy up.  It was a gift from their new Godmother, Charlotte, who used to watch us and now will watch them sometimes when the 'rents go away on vacation.  They seemed to take to it quite well didn't they?  Look at Teaghan trying to get into the tube when Tomas had already claimed it as his own!

Yep - there was plenty of room in there for the both of them!

Eventually, they made their way to the bed and checked out everything from top to bottom!

One night they started to discover other things like the light.  Who knew that the little shiny things on the lamp would capture their attention so much?  

Little by little they settled in even more.  Look at Teaghan showing off her toesies!

By day 3 Teaghan was relaxed enuf to just fall asleep and hang out of the kitty condo!

By day 4, T&T were finally let out of the 'rents bedroom and access to Mommy's home office.  They really liked it in there cuz it was nice and bright and they were looking at all kinds of things out of the window including birdies flying by, and cars going by and birdies oh my!

Here they are again just chillin' out in their kitty condo after a big eating session and ready for some much needed sleep.

Then came the day they went to get their first visit with their new V.E.T.  Daddy was so happy cuz he got to finally hold Tomas!  Now you have to know that Daddy doesn't smile too much so this was a good time :-).  Everything checked out ok and we and they knew it would because Mommie Colleen is the bestest Mommie EVER and T&T were fine.

Day six and here are Teaghan and Tomas hanging out together in Mommies home office first thing in the morning.   

Every day is a new step and a new learning.  Some endings (leaving home) have to happen to have a new beginning (different home).  Love abounds always.  We learn and grow.  We live and love.
Now we leave these two lovely blessed kittens to start their new journey.

Stay tuned for the beginning of their new blog and a journey into their new lives.

Purrs and love from over the bridge,
Beau Beau and Angie

The Story Continues - the Kitties are Born!

So the story continues! Beau Beau here, and I have finally managed to get my message through to the humans - our Mommy Brenda, and Mommy Colleen, the new human mommy (for now… MOL). Colleen is a furry special human mommy to about a squillion other kittehs.  We know cuz we met one of her special furry loves, Gwen, over here at the Rainbow Bridge.  Gwen came here to da bridge on 01-Dec-2014 before I got here and met me right away.  We have been watching over things along with Angie and sending our love to help heal our human’s hearts. Gwen told us how her Mommy Colleen was the mommy of a squillion Norwegian Forest Cat babies and had helped so many other rescue kitties back in the day to find new homes.  And so when our Mommy was ready and was looking for new kitties to bring home, she looked at a few rescue places and ended up looking online at a local CT Ragdoll breeder.  You see, she always had thought that Angie was a Ragdoll cat and wanted a nice loving soft kitty like that again.  But, while she was online we sent her to Colleen’s website, Finnishline Norwegian Forest Cats, where she saw many kitties who looked more like Angie.  In her heart she knew that this was the place.  Now, we knew she did not want an exact version of either of us but something about the beautiful NFC's there drew her in (yeah really it was us meowing into her ear… MOL!).   

Then Mommy Colleen and Mommy Brenda started emailing each other and they talked and it was like they knew each other from lifetimes ago.  Well, ahem, that’s cuz we have been talking to both of them in their dreams every night and they just didn’t know it… MOL!  Our mommy and daddy decided they wanted not one but two new kitteh’s so they could keep each other company just like me and Angie did with each other. 

And the waiting began. Hoping for at least two kitteh’s that bond together is big order to put in with the Universe but we were all pulling for it. Mommy Colleen’s two beautiful kitty mommies, McKenzie, and Rhianna, were both pregnant and due February/March. So guess what?  The beautiful McKenzie had her 3 babies on February 24^th!  She had two boys and one girl. This is the Finnishline “T” litter so their names start with “T”. 

Here they are with their Mommy McKenzie (who by the way is another most wonderful mommy) : Left to Right: Tyler, Teaghan and Tomas.

Life is full of signs and signals.  Here are a few that we threw at them: my first name (Beau Beau) was “Tommy” when Daddy found me at the Meriden Humane Society back in ‘05.  Before she even knew that, Colleen said to Mommy, “Tommy” would be a good nickname for “Tomas”…  Wow! Tomas also has a beautiful white heart on his back – that wuz to get Mommy’s attention cuz she loves hearts.  Also, Teaghan has a couple of beautiful red spots on her back, just like Angie’s red spot she had on her back.  Both Teaghan and Tomas go limp when Mommy Colleen picks them up, just like we did when we got picked up.  McKenzie’s mom, Fiona, had her first litter on 27-Oct-2008.  Angie passed away on 27-Oct-2016. There are more signs that we are working on sending...

So after watching some behaviors of how the 3 “T”s get along, and the human Mommies talking,  so far it looks like Teaghan and Tomas will be the new kitteh's of the Swick/Bentley House!
