Troi in my lap, looking like she’s not sure what’s going on.
Spock is checking out a cat toy, and is all “Fascinating.”
4 of the 5 kittens (Spock’s the missing kitten). Of course they’re going to all try to balance on the arm of the couch, why would they spread out on the seat of the couch? What fun would that be?
Kirk and Kes love this bed. I put it there so they’d have a soft place to land when they jump down from the couch, but they think it’s pretty darn comfy to hang out (and fall asleep) on.
It’s a Shag’s Wags bed. They don’t make them any more, of course – the website on the tag is defunct – but Jackson Galaxy has a similar bed (link for reference. Though two of the three colors that bed comes in are unavailable, which makes me think that that bed is on its way out, too).
Kirk is a big fan of this toy.
Oh, that Janeway. SO SO SO CUTE.
Troi and the tilted head of “I know I’m cute. You don’t gotta keep telling me.”
Kes and Janeway pause their tussle so that Janeway can sniff her toes. Priorities, y’know.
Spock always looks EVER so pleased with himself.

Someone left a magnificent pile of floof on the patio.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
It’s Toesday, so get a look at THESE beans! (Clockwise from top left: Troi, Janeway, Spock & Kirk. Kes’s beans were otherwise occupied and could not take part in this collage.)
Top: July 31st. Bottom: August 28th. The milk bar is shrinking!

Fun fact: you can sometimes get a kitten to yawn if you yawn at them (they can “catch” yawns the same way humans do), and I spend far too much time yawning at kittens. But you’ll see that it worked! (Also, Uhura and Troi think I’m nuts, and yes: I do need a life.)
Here comes Kirk, while Janeway judges his climbing technique. (Bonus: Kes sleeping on the arm of the couch behind Kirk, and Troi on the floor, lower left.)

What we have here is a little kitten mosh pit (and Troi!)
Kirk and Kes are all “Excuse you, lady, you weren’t invited to this meeting. Scram.”

My guess is that Kes and maybe Kirk are going to be floofy.
Yes, I agree, they’re going to be floofy ones!
I love Janeway’s face because she has that extra cute rounded muzzle. And as for Kirk I haven’t been in love with a kitties face as much as I am with his in a very long time. The urge to adopt them both is off the charts!
When you were doing the yawning experiment,you said you need a life. No,you don’t! You have the best one you could ever have! You are so VERY blessed and all the cats and kittens are so lucky and blessed to have you take care of them!
I do have a pretty good life! 🙂
Just reading about kittens catching a yawn made ME yawn! Also – I have (well, Allie has) this bed, which is similar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K87B8FS/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&th=1
That is Charlie’s favorite bed! (Also, whenever Fred sees Charlie snoozing comfortably in that bed, he says he wishes they made a human-sized version of it!)
