Paper Clip (left) and Posty, up high.
From left: Paper Clip, Posty and Stapler. Yes, there was a wildly waving feather teaser.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fanta and Sundrop discovered the bed and Moxie is trying to figure out what’s going on.
Sundrop’s all “But Mama, I can’t get to you when you’re up there.” And Sodapop’s all “Oh, really? I had no idea.”
Like mother, like son (Fanta).
Poppi makes an excellent leg rest.
Sodapop shows Fanta how to sharpen his claws.
And yep, Fanta sure did climb up there on his own. He wasn’t sure how he did that, and he had no idea how to get down, so I assisted.
The kittens are 4 weeks old as of yesterday, and I always forget how much they change in that one week. Last week I was still nervous about them leaving the nest and getting “lost”, this week I am 100% on board with them motoring all over the room. They’re climbing a little bit, they’re playing with toys, they’re wrestling and harassing their mama. I put out the litter boxes, and once I put them in the litter box, they peed. They have NOT (to my knowledge) actually climbed into the litter box on their own, but I’m sure that’ll start happening in the next day or so.

Moxie says “Paws UP, y’all!” 🐾

The kittens are tussling – and trying out their new sharp teeth on each other!
Paper Clip in the window, havin’ a snooze. 💤

Sundrop did a sideways skitter, but I wasn’t fast enough to catch it (darn!) Sodapop was hanging out behind the space heater and starts getting grabby with her kittens, who did not know WHAT she was doing.
A Sundrop pie! (My favorite!) (And yes, he climbed in there all on his own.)
Good night innernets. (Fanta, Poppi & Moxie. Sundrop is off following his mama around.)
Rabbit rabbit rabbit. 🐰 (Moxie)
From Wikipedia: “Rabbit rabbit rabbit” is a superstition found in Britain and North America wherein a person says or repeats the words “rabbit”, “rabbits” and/or “white rabbits” aloud upon waking on the first day of a month, to ensure good luck for the rest of it.
Former fosters! Meander fell asleep watching birds (it’s tiring work) and Pip (Carmy) and Rupert (Richie) are having a lot of fun – with each other and with that wire tunnel toy. Sharon reports that there’s nothing Rupert loves more than a snuggly snooze with someone, and as it turns out, Pip is a big talker! (He must’ve gotten that from his adopted mama Tina.) (Thanks, Sharon!)

This is the SNUGGLIEST bunch of mostly-grown kittens ever.
A Posty-gator loaf! (My favorite!)

Sundrop gets a bath and a snack.
Good night innernets. (Moxie and Poppi )
Sodapop takes a moment of calm before she dives back into the fray.
Paper Clip has some lap time while Stapler patiently waits her turn.

Stapler “discovered” that little yellow ball and is having quite the time with it. Meanwhile, Paper Clip is in my lap and gets some BOOPs, and Posty is just being Posty.
Fanta’s silly little face is cracking me up. I think he just realized that he can follow his mama around if he wants to!
YouTube link
Sundrop gets a bath and then everyone (eventually) shows up to the milk bar. Time to eat, kids!
Posty just realized that it’s Churu time, and is yelling for her sisters to hurry UP.

Moxie has a sleepy, and everyone else is wrasslin’ in the corner.

Sharon kind of spoils her kitties. Lucky them!
Great pictures and captions and update from Sharon!!
