Sleepy Chanandler Bong.
Sweet Susie.
“Keepin’ an eye on you, lady,” says Art Vandelay.
Art’s got a skeptical.
Here we have Art, balancing on my desktop computer, doing his best to pull a thumbtack out of the bulletin board. (Yes, I took a picture. Have you met me? And yes, I immediately removed and hid all the thumbtacks.)
Posin’ brudders.
Apparently the cat tree is TASTY. ::thlurrrp::
Give it up, Princess Consuela. No one’s buying the wide-eyed innocent look.
Ken “Moe” Adams gets his Kravitz on.
The ceiling fan is a constant source of fascination, still.
Chanandler in the sun.
I weighed all the kittens on Thursday. Chanandler’s the smallest, at 2 pounds, 12 ounces. Ken’s the biggest at 3 pounds, 12 ounces. That’s right, he weighs a full pound more than she does! The other boys are not far behind Ken, and Princess Consuela and Susie are both at just over 3 pounds.
We’re on our final week with these guys, as y’all know – they’re off for their spaying and neutering tomorrow morning, and they’ll be home sleeping it off tomorrow evening. I expect all to go well, aside from the part where they’re STARRRRRRRVINGGGGGGGGGG tomorrow morning due to a lack of food overnight!

Alice likes to hang out on the air unit right outside the computer room window – when Sheriff Mama isn’t spending time there, that is. (And before you start worrying, no cat can get his or her tail pulled into the air unit fan; there’s a screen to prevent that from happening.)

Question: There’s “tabby,” “toritie,” “torbie,” “calico,” “tuxedo,” plus the basic white/black/grey/orange cats. What’s the term for cats like Chanandler Bong, Ken Adams, Art Vandelay, and Susie: mostly white, but with patches of grey, black, or darkish tabby, typically with a “raccoon tail.” My cat Eddy has similar markings, including an ineffective camouflage patch on the inside of his leg. I like to say his coat was made up of bits leftover from other cats. Thoughts?

AWWWW such awesome pics!
Yep the Posin’ brudders truly look like they are posing. Love that “Ken “Moe” Adams gets his Kravitz on.” I wonder if everyone knows where that name came from.
I’m going to miss those kittens. May the remaining duo find the purrfect home whether it’s together or separately – oh and we musn’t forget Mommy – may her parents come for her soon.
Do these kittens spend any time in your lap?
They do, but they’re sneaky and most often climb in for a snuggle when I don’t have a camera or phone nearby! Such brats. 🙂
