“You need something, lady?” Daphne asks.

Zephyr in the Adirondack with his tail neatly draped.

“If we wait here long enough, the Churu will come,” Calliope instructs Zephyr.

Daphne says “THE CASTLE IS MIIINE!”

Zeus and the ridiculous whiskers.

Daphne (with Calliope and Cassandra) says “We is nappin’, lady. You go away now.”

Daphne and Zeus say “Have you seen our mama?” and Calliope says “Don’t you tell them a THING!”

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky/Threads) this weekend.

Zeus is doing his very best to get to my keyboard. He says he’s been reading Facebook and needs to leave some comments.

I was looking ALL OVER THE PLACE for Pandora (story of my life), only to find her quietly curled up in this little crate with her fishy toy, minding her own business. (And then I kissed her.)

First up: I know this is way longer than it needs to be, but I couldn’t cut out any of the cute moments. Secondly: I have no idea how they flip that basket over like that, but they do it from time to time, and then someone (sometimes a couple of someones) gets under there, and they all play Slappy Paws with each other. Listen, whatever entertains ’em, right?

Daphne draping her tail over Calliope is JUST. THE. CUTEST.

(Permanent resident) Magoo – formerly foster Reverb – has decided to do some redecorating. (We have cameras all over the place in our house and it’s 100% so we can figure out which cat did what.)

Pardon the blurry picture, but this triple-jump combo (Daphne, Cassandra & Zephyr, with Pandora & Zeus looking on) moment could not go unshared.

Good night innernets. (Cassandra)

Zephyr and Daphne got a job at the donut shack and immediately fell asleep on the job. #CantGetGoodHelpTheseDays

Cassandra considers shenanigans and hijinks but I suspect there’s a nap in her near future.

The kittens are all crazypantsed up today. There’s a lot of energy in the kitten room! (Poor mama keeps getting run over, though.)

Zephyr, Daphne and Cassandra up high, Zeus and Pandora staying a little lower.

Calliope and her favorite toy. She loves to carry that toy around, announcing how proud she is of herself. (It’s a toy made of felted cat fur – cat fur that was brushed off of our spoiled rotten cats, rolled into a ball, and then felted through several trips through the washer and dryer.)

Calliope was in this box with all three of her girls, but when I came back with my phone to take their picture, the kittens had vamoosed. (Note to self: CARRY PHONE ON YOUR PERSON AT ALL TIMES.)

The kittens are 12 weeks old! They look so grown up to me all of a sudden – they’re not quite at their lanky stage yet, but they’re getting there.

Cassandra on the wall shelf, doin’ a half-Rumdangle.

The kittens show off their jumping skills. They have EXCELLENT jumping skills. When they leap at each other and meet in mid-air, it’s ::chef’s kiss:: perfection!

I don’t know why Calliope and Pandora are giving me the guilty faces, but that’s okay. I probably don’t want to know!

Zeus is makin’ friends. He’s decided that Magoo is kind of fun to play with – and Magoo thinks Zeus is pretty cool, too!

Getting my kittens (Daphne & Pandora) in a row. I’d have added more mini crates to this lineup and tried to get ALL the kittens in a row, but that way lies madness.

Good night innernets. (Zephyr & Cassandra)
