Good night innernets.

Bath time for Mosey.

That's a happy milk bar (and Dillydally really puts his shoulders into it, doesn't he?)

Ciabatta stepped out of the basket to get a drink of water, and then Pita was like "HA HA NOW IT'S MINE." Such a smug little face.

5+ minutes of tossing toys for the kittens. And they're having a blast!

Skitter's all "Nope, the floor isn't any closer today. Maybe tomorrow!"

Pumpernickel makes the climb.

Two things:

Someone somewhere asked me where I got the two tall scratching posts that the kittens like to hang out on. Those are both the SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post - you have to buy the perch separately. One problem is that the clips that hold the perch onto the top of the scratcher are flimsy and tend to give way if a cat jumps off with too much force (sending the perch crashing to the floor), so Fred put a screw into the bottom of the perch to make it permanent. The perch comes with a red pad that is held on with velcro on the bottom - the velcro is constantly detaching (it's not really made to hold up to a lot of activity), so I bought a Flor carpet tile, cut it out to the size of the perch, and then used Gorilla glue to attach it to the top. It's a little ridiculous that I had to make so many modifications, but every foster who comes through loves those scratchers - and they're at least 6 years old and are holding up beautifully.

Though I didn't catch it on video (or in a picture), Pumpernickel decided it was time to fly, and he jumped from the top of the scratching post to the bed. I knew it was just a matter of time!

Good night innernets. (Pita, Pumpernickel, Babka and Crouton. Ciabatta was off somewhere doing important things and could not be convinced to join the group.)

Meander considers her life choices.

Babka is marchin' on down to nappin' town.

It's a Ciabatta in the ❤️basket, with the Whisker City Spring Toy. He loves that toy so much!

Dispatches from the crate: Mama takes a break, everyone yawns, and then it's time to feed the kittens again. It's a busy morning!

Eyeball check! The kittens are 11 days old and except for Mosey their eyes are wide open! Mosey is taking his time with that left eye - when the time is right, it'll creak on open.

Good night innernets. (The Hopalong Gang.)

Bolt: blue collar Dillydally: orange tabby Lollygag: red collar Mosey: no collar (darker cream color than the other siamese/white kittens) Skip: green collar Skitter: purple collar

Pita has a purr, and Pumpernickel has a squeak.

I can always be sure I'm going to get a silent-meow greeting from Pumpernickel (here with Crouton.)

Ciabatta's leaping into nap time. (And Crouton thinks I'm nuts.)
