Oscar in October. Henry Happily Harangues

They are miniature adults, not kittens. Oscar is already running and leaping around his crate, pouncing on Henry or on imaginary playmates.



You'll see his pink lower lip in the photos. Jason watched him run full-blast into the side of the crate, shake his head, then take off again.



We've had several kittens who did the same thing, Dale and Ernie, both F3Bs with Ayo as their grandmother. So maybe it's an Ayo-thing.



Henry LOVES to talk, talk, talk... constantly. He always has something to say and we have to listen. If he could take his paws and turn my face to his, to make certain I'm listening, he would do it. He roams around, but is not nearly as Indiana Jones as his brother.



These two are so much more mature than JoJo and his brothers. They did not want to be weaned and Ayo kept them babies longer. Oscar and Henry are ready to conquer the world. Part of it is that they're not with Ayo 24/7 since she carries them around, then bathes them to distraction (Jason says destruction). We lock her out of their Great Dane crate -- but still in their room -- except when we're with them to supervise.



Poor Jason has been on a round-the-clock, two-hour feeding schedule for the last 23 days. Think they were five days old when we realized Ayo was over-cleaning them. I don't know how he does it. I couldn't handle the routine or laying on the floor.



He has them even more spoiled than usual. Not bad, just extremely people-oriented.

A few of our AJSavannahs families had asked for the webcam for streaming video; we took it in this morning and Ayo did not like having anything new near her kittens. We'll plan on setting up the webcam in two weeks when they're weaned.

Another Feather Frenzy Movie

New movie of our F1 Gabatta and her sister Ayo's F2B Savannah kittens on YouTube, watch it on the AJSavannahs Kittens page.

Aaron is a wild thing and has to be in the middle of everything. He wound up in Jason's arms so the other kittens could play.



Olivia is still recovering from her spay surgery, so she's not in the movie.



Emmett is like his Aunt Gabatta and would talk his prey to death, always announcing his approach.



Vester can almost fly, throwing himself around and changing direction in midair.



Jericho prefers to stay back and watch for his opportunity to dash in and make off with the feather toy. He is very, very fast, using his paws like a prizefighter landing a series of punches on an unsuspecting opponent.



And Murray... who LOVES to run up, tap me on the leg, then take off full-blast before I can grab him... Murray was surprisingly low-key with the feather toy. He leapt like Vester, punched like Jericho, twisted like Aaron, and was very thoughtful in his play. Murray usually runs in with total abandon, then zooms around the room til someone, anyone, decides to chase him.

Murray is available and we expect him to look very much like his mother when he's mature. He certainly plays like her, with wild abandon. And he has her huge, gorgeous upright ears, sweet face, very long legs and short thick tail that's in a perpetual state of Happy Tail (fulled out like a bottle brush). Given the size of his feet, along with our history of very large F2B male kittens, we also expect Murray to be a large cat when fully grown at three years of age.



They were worn out after playing so hard, I don't think anyone moved til morning.

I still have another 10 minutes of video that I need to convert. Everyone but the kittens' new families will be totally bored. But if you're waiting for your baby to come home, then every second is absolutely riveting!
