New kitten arrival estimate + lots of photos

Hi Everyone.  Again way past due for a post.  All is going well with the ‘K Litter’ project.  I’m expecting birth on Memorial day weekend, give or take a day or so.  I moved Sahara’s ‘nest’ into the nursery yesterday so that it can be properly inspected by everyone and take on familiar house odors.

Not much new as far as kitty news, except that I decided to clean out the kitty door tunnel that goes through the wall to the outside the other day and give it a new paint job, only to discover that much of the wood has rotted and the flap was dragging and badly worn.  I do not understand how it could have gotten so worn since the kitties have me WELL trained in opening the patio door for them, but there you have it.  I installed that door when Tiny Bear and Nugget were kittens almost 8 years ago.  I think it should have lasted longer than that!  Granted I did make the tunnel and framing myself and didn’t use the best wood.  In any case, the long and short of it is that they have a NEW door on order that comes with a nice metal tunnel and better quality replaceable flaps and magnets.  I’m currently retraining myself NOT to jump every time I see a cat at the patio door.  I only had to stop myself a half dozen times last night.  There’s definitely room for improvement.

One other thing – I recently purchased a new camera.  It’s basically the same as the old one but it will make HD videos and bigger photos.  I’ve been learning to use it, so I have quite a few photos to post.
