Starling was trying to decide whether to jump on Wren, I suspect. (She didn’t.)
Tater made it into the Fruitasan, but having Starling smacking at her through the back of the swing wasn’t quite the relaxing experience she was looking for.
Wren is just so stinkin’ CUTE.
Starling and Rufous check out the castle.
Rufous, posing in the pink Adirondak. (It cracks me up that the way he’s sitting, it looks like he’s got super-short legs. He doesn’t!)
Tater likes the Adirondak too.
Rufous is like “She’s ALWAYS talkin’.” (She is a talker, but she’s especially talky when she’s sleepy.)
Starling has a delightful belly.

An old picture of Dewey, so y’all don’t forget what a pretty, pretty boy he is. Those EYES!

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
When you wave a feather teaser around to get a kitten to look up at you, be aware that this might be the picture you actually get. (That’s Rufous’s belly.)
Starling always has such a worried little face, like she thinks she’s in trouble.

Daisy was adopted and went home Monday (hooray!) Here’s her video of pictures I took from the day we got her (February 22nd) to the day she went home (June 26th.) ❤

Play time in the kitten room – and Starling shows off her skitterbug skills, briefly.

Here’s an ever-so-brief video of Tater coming to show us what’s what.
Good night innernets. (Tater, legally known as Plover)

Love that kitten belly! Wish I could give it a raspberry!
There is a Little Golden Book illustrated by Garth Williams called “The Kitten Who Thought He Was a Mouse.” Starling looks like the kitten (Mickey) when he confronts his mouse mother with his newfound knowledge that he is, indeed, a cat. I couldn’t find an image online, but you can see it at 6:41 in this video.

I can definitely see the resemblance (and what a cute book!)
