Zoey leaves us tomorrow! We have done our job and Zoey has come a long way since coming to us. She is now a love bug who is ready for her own home. She is still not great on first meetings, but I think she will do fine. However before she goes, I thought I would try a few of the Halloween costumes I have on her. Here are the results.

Anne, I have determined that cats HATE the wings. The adult cats get really annoyed and the kittens think they have lost the functionality of their front legs and flop or try and drag themselves around. Zoey couldn't really figure out what to do.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Rachel, then maybe they are best for inexperienced kittens only! They are lovely, nonetheless.
- Anne Bouey
zomg, how cute! I imagine they fussed quite a bit...brats! :) Very cool outfits and the photos are all nice and artsy too. :)

Josh, just the one kitten, Zoey. She is really mellow so she didn't fuss as much as past kittens I have tried this with have, but she did fuss some. The pumpkin body was the one least liked, followed by the wings (but only because they think something has happened to their legs and can't walk right). She doesn't seem to mind things on her head too much, but I was pushing my luck near the end.

Nice. Give their whiskers a trim and watch them bump into everything. KIDDING!
- Josh Haley
Awww, Rachel, sorry that Zoey's time with you is over already.
- Stephen Mack
Stephen, me too, and we missed part of it since she stayed with Cy & Athena while we were away for the 4th. But she has come a long way and she really needs a home of her own!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Working on Zoey's evaluation sheet. This is the sad/hard part now. I always hate giving them back even though I know I can't keep my foster kittens and I know Zoey is destined for a great home. I will just miss her so much, she is such a sweet wonderful little kitten. :'(

A whole kitty came and went at your place without me getting a chance to stop by and say hi. :-(
- Paul Wilcox
Paul, no worries! There will be more. In fact I'm hoping real hard to get some more right away. Indy and Nym are used to kitten now and I don't like to lose the momentum if I don't have to.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Zoey was a real success story. She came to us pretty terrified of all other cats since her siblings used to beat her up, and she wasn't too interested in people. Before she left yesterday she was chasing Indiana's tail and crawling up to us to sleep in our laps. She's just adorable.
- Kevin Fox
UPDATE: Zoey was adopted!!! We noticed she wasn't on the online listing a couple days ago, but when I went in to pick up our new little boy I double checked and she was adopted by a couple who were very excited to have her! Yay Zoey!!!

That's hard. The locking safe is supposedly fireproof, so I guess I'd grab the NAS drive, with all our photos and music and writing on it. The photo albums, though, from before digital cameras, would probably count as more than one.
- Ladybug Heather
Hmm... should probably, once a month or so, back up the NAS to a smaller USB drive, and stick THAT in the locking safe. :)
- Ladybug Heather
My backup hard drive. Every thing's on there.
- Carlton Prest
talk about machines taking over our lives!! i'd save pet cat...
- Swathi Bhat
Swathi - I don't consider pets "possessions" as such, they are family members. It goes without saying that anything living would be saved first!

Epic dark sci-fi military space opera. Kind of like Warhammer 40K minus the religious elements. It would be shot and written so as to make it emotionally masochistic to watch.
