“What you doin’, lady?” wonders Saul.
Mike “killed” this crocheted fishy (that is pretty much as big as he is!) and now he’s gnawing on its eyeball. He’s a fierce one!
Lalo in my lap, havin’ a bath. He looks very amused, doesn’t he?
Nacho in my lap, showing off his toebeans.
Kim’s keeping an eye on things.
Lalo in the basket!
5 of the 6 kittens, and Mike’s got something to say. (Nacho was on the cat tree sleeping. He tends to sleep off by himself. There’s always one in every litter!)
Francesca looks like she made a joke and now she’s laughing at it.
Mike’s all “She’s FUNNY!”
“Oh, hi!” (Saul)
Gus shows off his belly and his sharp little claws.
(Shortly after I took that picture, I trimmed the kittens’ claws. It didn’t go great, because they wanted to race around and play – it’s a lot easier when they’re sleepy – but I got ’em done. Now I just need to remember to keep doing it!)

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
Breakfast is served! Mike and Francesca like to eat off of Mama’s plate, of course. (The other kittens were sleeping and haven’t yet hit the stage where they meet me at the door screaming for their canned food.)
These little muffins are 6 weeks old! (Well, except for Mike of course, who will turn 6 weeks old on Sunday.) This is what they look like, and as of now they are: eating solid food (but also still nursing, because they will nurse as long as mama lets ’em), using the litter box perfectly, and doing a bit of climbing. They’ve got from little lumps of cute to miniature cats. It always amazes me just how fast it happens.

There are a bunch of crybabies in my lap, mama’s pottying Mike, and Saul’s up in his hammock ignoring us all.
Gus: “Lady! Lady! Show the innernets my foot!”
…
“Did they like it?”
(I suspect they did.)

Sometimes when someone asks me a question I don’t expect, my mind goes completely blank and my brain has to reboot (very very slowwwwly.) I think Gus is the same way.
It’s a Mikey pie! My favorite!
Good night innernets. (Gus)
