Super exciting cat things! 😻😻😻
Let’s do a random update on cat stuff!
- We’re trying out this grass litter – we wanted something better for the cats, and for the environment. So far, so good! (My goodness, there are SO many kinds of cat litters to choose from! I got grass because it seems most natural to what they’d use outside, I mean, besides filling their box with dirt.)
What a good model! As I was bringing the litter in for this pic I said to Khali “if I bring this in will you go model by it for me?!” Of course she will – cats have to check out anything “new” in a room!
- Khali is totally in the big sister groove and especially loves on Apollo (still haven’t caught them all cuddled up yet though – maybe when it gets colder). I’m so glad we already had the kittens around when we said goodbye to Data so she didn’t have to be super lonely.
- Apollo pants when he exercises really hard. You can listen to a short clip of it here (turn your speakers up!). I don’t think it’s entirely normal so we’ll keep an eye on that.
- Apollo looks like he has striped pants on from the right angle. Ha! GOSH THAT BIG BOTTOM. The kittens are growing so fast!
- In the photo above, Apollo is sitting on a brand new Halloween-themed cat house that Jen, Troy, and Declan brought over last night! Last year I got them a little cardboard house from Aldi and they loved it (we still have it out but they’ve torn it apart) so I know they are going to love this (and that I will keep it out until they destroy it, heh)!
- Christina ordered us a Data painting, similar to the one we have of Snow, and I can’t wait for it to come and put them both up!
- We’ve received so many thoughtful Data cards and gifts. These gestures make me feel better, and I love seeing little reminders of him around the house (and on my wrist and in my purse).
- This post is missing a picture of Starbuck! Here’s a cute “usie” Steven took of the two of them last week. Starbuck loves her daddy! She follows Steven around in the morning when he’s getting ready. It’s adorable.
- Updated to add – I learned today that kittens lose their teeth (after I found one). TMYK!

I love everything about this post! You have such sweet friends and family – all of the Data remembrances are just lovely. And Apollo’s stripes, squee! He is a gorgeous kitty. I didn’t think about Khali being alone without Data, but you are so right, it’s nice that she has the kittens to help her, and it’s cute how she lays near them. Yes, I bet cuddling will happen on the first cold day. Starbuck + Steven – the dynamic duo. Adorable picture!
I do! I feel so loved!
We think he is gorgeous too, thanks! It’s funny, when we picked him out, we had no idea what he’d end up looking like, because he was so small! Now we look back at those pics and can see some of these markers.
Yesterday all three of them laid on me together and they were almost cuddling! Soon! It’s 39 here right now!
Thanks! I love that pic too! Google did that thing where it made an animation of that pic with a few other in the series and you can see her kissing him. Aww.
I love their halloween house…does it play creepy music ha ha!!!
OMG look at that Daddys girls!!
OMG it needs to!!!!
Right? She so is! <3
Apparently most mammals have baby teeth! https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/do-animals-have-baby-teeth-more-questions-readers-180963688/ I knew dogs had puppy teeth, but I didn’t know cats had kitten teeth, which is what prompted me to look it up. Interesting!
Oh my gosh, how adorable is that picture of Starbuck and Steven??? Too cute!
Wow, thanks for sharing that! I wonder how many more we’ll find? The tooth fairy did NOT visit last night. Oops.
I thought so too! <3
Ooh, good to know that kittens have baby teeth that they lose! Also, this post made me want to just drive out to a shelter right now and look at kittens. Patience, Steph. 🙂 I’m glad Khali has the kitties to keep her company! She is SUCH a beautiful cat, ah.
Do eeet! I thought you were going to look today anyway?
Aww, thank you 🙂
So much cuteness to start the weekend – thank you!!!
You’re welcome! 🙂
I love that you can get seasonal cat houses at Aldi (I <3 Aldi!), but I guess this one is from somewhere else. Anyway, that's cool and seems a lot better to me than a huge, expensive cat house that you are stuck with forever.
How do they like the grass litter? Does it smell better than normal cat litter?
Yeah, this one is from Target! It is nice you can just toss it when you are done. If I would actually toss it… ha. I am going to with the older one.
They like it just fine! And it doesn’t have a smell, and covers smells the same as the clay one. We still have to turn the fan on and light a candle when Apollo lays a stink bomb.
