Hi cutie friends...we have arrived....omg, what a trip and thank God for Andi at the beginning of the trip for gathering up the clan in their carriers...only one injury, Jim got bit by Momma....he thought it was Jif and told Andi that he could get this one and lo and behold it was Momma and she wasn't having any of the hub bub as she already saw some of the others get netted....his hand is doing fine so far, but we had to get into the trailer that was already packed to get him a clean tshirt and shorts cuz he looked like he was coming from a crime scene and he stunk cuz one of the girls sprayed him like a skunk with anal gland juice...omg, so glad I had my own car to follow him in so I didn't have to smell it. We didn't get separated at all either and took us about 10 hrs. Jim said kittiesvwere quiet the whole trip and we only stopped 3 times for bathroom breaks and gas. Last nite our 2nd night here we lost power and internet...had a whopper of an electrical storm....got electric back in less than 2 hrs but was this morning til we got internet...hopefully Jim will get my office computer up and running tomorrow...he needs to go back to old house to get it ready for sale, hopefully will only take him about a week. Gotta go for now, girls and Louie are doing fabulous....Cassi and Momma are still hiding most of the time but we do get to see them as they run thru the room.....here's a couple pics I shot last nite....don't mind the mess☹️

Glad your trip went pretty fast. Please have Jim watch his bite--cat bites can be really dangerous no matter how clean they are. The cats look like they have their own hotel!!!! You are a really devoted 'mom'. You also have a good man that will do all this stuff. I would be the laborer while mine would be the Supervisor. All in all, glad you are 'home' now.

Yay, let the fun part begin.....
Poor Jim and poor little Momma. I hope they both recover quickly.
Take it as easy as you can.

Yay, you're home! I love all the cat towers and the big window behind them. Bet the kitties love them too. Hope Jim gets things settled soon and recovers from the bite. You all could use a little time without drama, so you can just relax and settle in.

Love the color scheme in the rooms, so classic, gray and white and black and white. Glad kitties are settling in and they seem to have everything they need: a view, a climber and two servants. Who could ask for more?

Hurray that the trip is over, and you are all settling in. I think Louie has already claimed his kingdom and has settled in. It won't be long before the girls will claim their territory too and you will all settle into your routine again.

Poor Jim! I hope his hand is OK and no infection occurs. And he is forgiven by Momma, and he forgives her.

Your place already looks better than when we first moved into a new place. it was lawn chairs, a card table and chairs and an airbed until the moving company decided to deliver our household goods.

I have to say, I think the cats got the best place. I love their view.

Take care and don't overdo the unpacking. I always disliked that the most.

Welcome to your new home. I am glad you made it safely. The kitties are going to love the big window. Louie looks like he already is enjoying his new digs.
Hope Jims hand is going to be OK. My hubby had to go to the hospital twice for Cat bites. They can get nasty.....Happy everything went well traveling too.
Enjoy your new home ... HUGS

Great that you made the move, I hope Jim's hand didn't get infected. (I already had to go to the hospital because of a cat bite.) I wish you a good acclimation to the new house and that you soon come to rest. Hugs Maria

Another welcome to your new home. All the anxieties over the move are now behind you. Glad to hear that the furry family are settling in - be it in their own ways. Enjoy your new home and very soon it will seem that you have been there forever. Lastly good luck with the last bit of selling the old home

Great. You made it. Poor Jim. I hope it will heal well. I did not know that a female cat could spray. She must have been really upset. Important is that everybody is safely home and getting used to the new environment. Now I am sure you have sooooooo much to do.
