I am Captain Jack

[snakemama]

I dunno what it is about Jasper, but cats just seem to know that he's a "safe" doggy. I once heard a cat crying outside of my old apartment, and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to take Jasper downstairs to investigate. Right around the time I realized what a silly idea that was, the stray came out and flung himself at Jasper with headbumpies and a purr. He's go great kitten mama, and he's even willing to lick them clean when they're at the poop-all-over-themselves stage. YUCK!

Jack's eye looked pretty good this morning. I've been cleaning pus out of it pretty regularly, but there was no pus yet today, so that's good news!

The Captain is just adorable! And Jasper has to be one of the best dogs EVER! Give both of them lovies from me.

Awwwwwwww, what an ADORABLE little guy you are, Captain Jack! And how nice that you have your very own BIG playmate with his built-in cat toy!

Hello Caption Jack
You sure are a cutie pie
I love the picture of you and your doggie sniffing noses.
I also love the 3rd pic in the second post. your beauty shot.
your head looks like a bobble head doll from that side picture. LOVE IT
I hope his eye heals up. I was happy to read that there was no pus coming out.
Jasper looks like a sweet soul

Hi Pet Talk, Jack here! Foster Meowmie just took me out for playtime, but then I started to poop so I got put back with no pictures taken. Boo. She says she'll come get me when the stinky fades a bit.

I ate two bowls of food today! Foster meowmie says I feel like I gained half a pound!

Well, today I had two important lessons, and foster meowmie says I learned both of them very well.

The first lesson was laps. The second lesson was toys. Foster Meowmie says she put these out of order as I should have gotten tired from playing BEFORE the lesson about laps. I think it was OK though. I'm still in quarantine so I was lonely all day until she got home.

Laps are pretty fun, I suppose. You get lots of ear rubs on them.


But it's not fun when you want to go play with the other kitties you can HEAR in the next room but you can't get down!


PLEASE let me down? Please??


Okay, I'll relax for a little bit...


Oh hey, fingers are cool toys too!


Yep, laps are A-OK!


After lap time we went into the bathroom to play with Jasper again. I pounced on his tail a lot and discovered that his feet are tasty too!! He got so tired of me nibbling his toes that he went and hid behind foster meowmie and I chased him. Then he pinned me down and licked me all over. I think doggies are actually maybe mom-cats who smell funny. Once though, he stepped on my toes. OW! So I hissed at him to remind him that you shouldn't step on a pirate's toes!

That was also where I learned about toys. Toys are FUN! Now I'm back in the lap and playing with fingers and buttons and clothing wrinkles, and pencils and strings and stuff. Foster meowmie says later I'll have to learn not to chew fingers but just for today since I'm learning to play she'll ignore it.

Oh, yes, Cap'n Jack, laps and toys are both VERY important lessons! And thanks for sharing pictures, foster-mommy!

So adorable! Love the pics with the doggie.

This is great news about his mom. I'm sorry to hear that he injured his eye. I know how hard it is to keep kittens cooped up for a while. My three were ready to be let loose after the first day that I had them but luckily they had each other to help to keep them entertained. I hope his eye heals up quickly.

Hellooo again mateys! I was finally released from prison...er...quarantine a few days ago, and life has improved dramatically! There are three other cats here! Two of them are really nice and fun to play with, but the third one, the girl, doesn't like me at all! I like the big white one...his tail is VERY pounce-able!

I still have to live in my kennel while foster meowmie is at work, which I think is COMPLETELY unfair! She says it's to protect me in case the other cats get too rough. I say a pirate can take care of himself! The striped one may be ten times my weight, but I am FAST! Once Foster meowmie is home though, I get let out to RUN! I like to hide under the couch and attack unsuspecting cats or ankles that cross my line of sight!

Last night, instead of going back into my kennel after playtime, foster meowmie moved my kennel into the bathroom and left the kennel door open so I wasn't too stir-crazy. That was kind of fun, I made lots of noise thumping around the bathtub and the cabinets.

I have so many things to learn here before I go to my forever home! Foster meowmie is teaching me about not biting fingers. The other kitties are teaching me about playing gently and personal space. The dog is teaching me lots about toys and how to dodge when he decides it's time to roll on the carpet! I'm also learning about cat trees (These are FUN!!), nail trims (these are NOT FUN AT ALL!), crunchy food, how to throw my food bowl when it's empty so it makes crashy noises against the kennel, brushing, TREATS, and other stuff. It's a lot for a kitten to take in!
