The kittens went all out for Halloween and now their tired. You should stop by Kitty Harbor this Saturday from 12pm – 6pm or Sunday from 2pm – 6pm and find a snuggly kitten to take a nap with!

Kitten naps are best taken in large groups.

The larger the napping group the better!

Miss Eliza Pettigrew watches over all the kittens while they sleep.

Someone woke Timmie up – that was rude!

Joey is too handsome to nap – it might mess up his kitten hair.

Ok maybe just a quick nap.

Sansa naps one hour for each toe that she has – that means pretty much all day!

Shhhhh….Rounder is tired.

Who wouldn’t want to take a nap on a pink squishy bed?

Miguel has bed head.

Algonquin can’t find a bed big enough for his long legs.

Uh oh. Bert is planning to wake people up by jumping on them.

Gonkers would prefer a home with a king size bed. He likes to spread out.

Beasley would rather play with kitten toys than nap.

Herman lost the tip of his tail, but that doesn’t mean he still can’t snuggle!

Gilbert is too wired on Halloween candy to nap.

Ocelot would make a great kitten pillow. He has a big belly and a soft Maine Coon coat.

Berta is too busy being cute to get an shut eye.

These sun rays are keep Callie awake!

This week we received an update from Kitty Harbor Alum Ted, with a note from Ted’s mom. Make sure you send your alumni updates to info@kittyharborseattle.org!

Ted is now 3 and he moved in with us when he was 7months old. He is now enjoying his new cat ladders here in Seattle.

Ted is looking handsome on his cat ladder.

Chabbles: I was thinking about dressing up as a vampire this year for Halloween, but Gourd told me that cat halloween costumes are nerdy. What do you think? Love, Carrot

Carrot: I think you would make an excellent vampire! Halloween isn’t for every cat, but when you have a smile like that, you can’t go wrong. Yours truly, Chabbles

Carrot says, “Happy Halloween!”

Chabbles: I hear at Kitty Harbor that kittens need to be adopted with another cat or kitten, unless you already have a kitty at home. Why is that? Just curious, The Two Headed Kitten Monster

Two Headed Kitten Monster: Kittens are very social animals. They love to play and the need constant stimulation. If they are left alone, they sometimes entertain themselves by chewing on plants, climbing drapes, climbing furniture, unrolling toilet paper, exploring electrical cords and sockets, etc. Your kitten will enjoy playing with you, but really needs another cat to keep them company – especially at night when you are trying to sleep. If you want your kitten to grow up into a cuddly, well-adjusted, happy cat – do you and your kitten a favor and make sure they have another cat friend. For lots more details, read the article on our Kitty Q&A page! Yours truly, Chabbles

The Two Headed Kitten Monster wants all kittens to have kitten best friends.

It’s Halloween weekend and the kitties are ready! They’ve got their costumes and now all they need is candy – or at least some kitten toys. Make your Halloween night a little less scary by finding a kitten companion to hug. And just a reminder that Kitty Harbor is only open on Saturday this weekend!

Colin is resting up so he can stay up late watching monster movies.

Conrad just finished re-reading the whole Twilight series. He’s ready.

Eddie is a scardey cat. He needs a hug.

Geraldine is worried – the other kittens have convinced her that ghosts are real.

Miss Liza Kittenbottom isn’t worried. She’ll distract any ghosts with her cuteness.

Miss Sandi Kittenbottom is planning to hide behind her sister.

Gus is planning to watch Ghostbusters on repeat all weekend. He likes the big marshmellow man.

Lester is ready. For the candy.

Thomas says, “Have a safe and happy Halloween!”

Chabbles: The other kittens at the shelter have been picking on me because I have a couple extra toes. They keep calling me something that sounds like a dinosaur. What’s the deal? Please Help, Sansa

Sansa: A polydactal cat is a cat that has more than the usual number of toes. It’s normally not an issue, and in fact sometimes makes them more able to perform fun tricks like opening latches or catching objects. Because of the position of the extra toes, polydactal cats may not be able to file down their nails on scratching posts so your mom may need to clip them. Luckily clipping the nails are easy and nail clippers are cheap. You can even buy a pair at Kitty Harbor! I think the extra toes are pretty cute – those other kittens are just jealous! Yours truly, Chabbles

Sansa is glad to know that having too many toes is in style this season.

Chabbles: My new mom wants to make sure I eat a healthy dinner, so that I grow up to be a big, strong kitty with a nice, soft coat. What should she feed me? Love, Miss Match

Miss Match: Picking the right cat food is one of the most important decisions your mom can make. When selecting a high quality cat food, check the ingredient list on food bags to make sure a named meat source is the first ingredient. She should always avoid foods with corn or corn gluten, animal by-products, wheat, soy, brewers rice, and ethoxyquin. What you want to see in the ingredient list are named fish and meats, high quality grains like brown rice, barley, oatmeal, and plenty of vegetables. Those things are not only good for you – but they are tasty, too! A grain free diet is also a great idea, yet can be pricey. Yours truly, Chabbles

Miss Match can’t wait for a delicious dinner!

Mimi – one of the followers on our Facebook page – shared this wonderful painting she did of Meggy. There’s a cute cameo of the two headed kitten monster in the background. She’s donating half the proceeds of this painting to Kitty Harbor, so check out all of her beautiful work!

Thanks to Mimi for creating such a lovely image of a Kitty Harbor kitty!

Chabbles: Who is Chabbles and what’s this new feature on the Kitty Harbor Website? Sincerely, Noodles
