Did you see that one of my pictures (the top one!) was on Buzzfeed yesterday? World domination is gonna be a cakewalk from here.

Do you recognize this sweet face?
That’s Maggie! She was our foster (and Mama to the McMaos) back in 2011. Alex says:
We had a bow tie party the other night. Maggie allowed us to put a bow tie on her. She didn’t enjoy it but she didn’t freak out. She mostly just sat there with a scowl on her face.
Her face is cracking me UP! (Thanks for the picture, Alex. It was good to see Maggie’s sweet face again, even if she is secretly plotting how to get back at you!)

Livia, keeping an eye on me. Thinking about taking a nap, too, it looks like.
Carmela peeks to see what’s going on out THERE.
They’re getting ever more interested in the world outside their crate.
Silvio and Tony, getting a closer look.
I took them out of the crate for weighing, put them on a cat bed, and they started scattering.
Tony on the right, Meadow on the left.
Yesterday was the day when all those baby kittens decided that they would NO LONGER be held back by the threshhold of their crate, and they would get OUT into the big wide world room. When I walked into the room, I was surprised to see them all out, crawling around on the blanket in front of the crate, wrestling with each other. Last night when I went in before bed time, they were all in the crate sound asleep, and I very softly said “Hey, babies…” They immediately woke up, every last one of them, and flooded out of the crate to sit and stare at me, sniff me, and even climb on me (that was Adriana). Later today I’m going to put them (and Livia) in the crate and put them in the bathroom so I can sweep the floor and spread another blanket out, so they don’t get their toes too cold on the hardwood floor. I think it’ll probably only be another day or two before they decide they want nothing to do with that crate any more, so I’ve got to make sure they have plenty of soft places to sleep.

We have videos! They’re, basically, the Sopranos being wiggly little wigglebugs. SO cute at this age! (So cute at any age though, right?)

Sugarbutt, stressed out as usual. Poor Suggie.
