“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.
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.
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!

As you were asking Francesca “are you the baybee”, my Goober replied, “why yes, I am.” Cracked me up.
My condolences on your IT issues. It’s gotten so I almost hate technology as much as I appreciate it. Especially when something just suddenly changes, like your inbox stops showing the sender’s name and you KNOW you didn’t do anything to it (if for no other reason than you don’t know how).
I’m so happy Mike found his family.
Uggh, good luck with the technicalities of the blog update! That kind of stuff drives me right to the edge. But I’m sure you’ll do very well, because you’re very smart and capable! 🙂
Lalo has that expression like he’s watching must-see TV while doing his nails–or in this case, a little arm-cleaning.
OH, and here’s what’s become of your Fruitasan cat bed–a version available for the big bucks on Amazon:
