The kittens got a tank! (I have no idea who sent it to them – if it was you, please email me and let me know so I can thank you properly!)
Richie wasn’t sure what to think about it.
Carmy jumped in immediately. I think he likes it!
I am baffled by the fact that something made for kittens/cats has a human female wearing a bikini on the side of it… But I’ve been baffled by that before, and apparently Suck UK (affiliate link) hasn’t felt the need to change up the design. (I’m not really complaining, I just think it’s odd.)
Carmy checks out the view, while Richie checks out the construction of the tank. (It was really hard to put together – this was a “me” issue rather than the way the tank was made, I suspect – and I couldn’t get the corners to stay closed, so ultimately used packing tape to hold the corners together. Real tanks are probably held together by duct tape, so we’re in good company.)
“Hmm. Plenty of room in there for me!” says Richie.
And in he went!
Out came Carmy!
“That’s right,” said Tina. “Keep ’em occupied!”

“Say, lady,” says Rocco. “You gonna open this window and let me in?” (Charlie, standing right behind me, made the answer to that “NOPE.”)

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) yesterday.
Tina’s all “What the – ?!” I have no idea what she was looking at, but it certainly had her attention! (Tina is adoption pending and will go home in January. Carmy and Richie are adoption pending (together) and will go home in January.)
Just a Richie, hanging out in the Pusheen ball, having a little quiet time. Nothin’ to see here. (That ball he’s sitting in came in the quarterly Pusheen Cat Kit box.) (Richie is adoption pending (with Carmy) and they will go home in January.)

Poor starving kitties! I love that there’s such a difference between Richie and Carmy’s voices. Richie sounds JUST like his mama – his voice is huskier. Carmy’s is much more high-pitched.
Those socks aren’t gonna sort themselves, boys. Better get to work!

I got out the disc launcher, and Tina, Richie and Carmy still like chasing those discs! I thought Richie and then Tina were going to actually bring discs back to me, but nope. Not up for a game of fetch, I guess.
Good night innernets. (Carmy & Richie)

Have you ever heard of “whisker fatigue”? I’ve had cats my whole life (I’m 61) and only just recently heard that this was a thing. It certainly explains alot with my Mork
I have! That’s why I try to always use small, shallow dishes (and wide bowls.)
Yes, whiskers are very sensitive sensory organs on cats. Some cats are more bothered by whisker fatigue than others. Years ago I learned about it and realized the bowls I used were causing issues. I have large bowls, small shallow dishes and have water fountains.
My black house panther Bellamy needs daily asthma treatments and I need to use a mask over his face to administer the medication. There are days when the treatment bothers him. Fortunately the treatment only takes a couple of minutes but that can sometimes be an eternity when he is uncomfortable with the whiskers pushed back by the mask.
Shhh – you weren’t supposed to release the secret about our tanks. I hope the Pentagon folks don’t show up at your door!
You know they pay half a million dollars for every roll of duct tape for those tanks!
Those are very pretty socks! Would you be willing to release the brand name?
The company name is World’s Softest (and they are VERY soft!) They’re called Ragg Crew socks, and here’s a link for reference.
I see Tina enlisted her sons into the Army. They’re getting ready to be shipped off for basic training. 🙂 Has Tina checked out the tank?
