Samantha’s last day with her siblings…

But Mom came home on Tuesday, so these images are the last with Sammie and her cat family. She won’t be back for a long while – and by then the other kittens will have new homes.

They’re three-and-a-half-months old now. Growing up fast!

So what did Sammie do on her last day? Well she started with some yoga with her calico sister, Calista.

Then grabbed the favorite sleeping spot before Raphael could get to it.

Oh well, Raphael will just sleep beside it. He’s adaptable like that! Isn’t Sammie’s sleeping position, with one foot out of the bowl, hysterical?

Can you believe those whiskers? So beautiful!

Vanessa wishes it were her turn in the bowl…

That’s okay, Vanessa will just knock all the magazines stacked on a chair, onto the floor, and sleep there.

Sammie is still queen of the bowl…

Vanessa gets ready to pounce.

Ah! Calista gets a chance in the bowl!

But it’s not as fun if no one else wants it. Where is everybody?

And the very last time all four will nurse. Maisie’s babies are growing up!

Goodbye Samantha! We’ll miss you!
