I put these beds – the “cave” Spock is on, as well as the big overstuffed one over there to the right – on the couch when the kittens started leaving the crate, figuring that once I knew the kittens had their litter box skills perfected, I’d put the beds on the floor. The kittens apparently got tired of waiting, and now there’s ALWAYS someone in that cave.
Kirk on the couch, lookin’ pouty.
Kes and Troi are pretty sure it’s nap time.
Janeway! That mushroom scratcher is for climbing and sharpening your claws, not eating!

Newt on the heated bed in the living room. Because, as the ads on Facebook insist, fall is here. (I WISH.)

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) over the weeekend.
Directly after I took this picture, I picked up Janeway and kissed her 6,000 times.
My favorite part of this picture is the way the Heart plushie is watching in googly-eyed amazement as Janeway and Troi fight.

Where oh where are Kirk and Spock? We get to the bottom of this mystery. (Side note: do you SEE how perfectly Uhura hits her cue? She’s a star!)
Good night innernets. (Troi, Janeway, Kes and Spock in the bed, and Kirk over there to the upper left, sound asleep under the little pink chair.)
They’ve all started climbing the couch, and apparently it’s an awesome place to sleep! (Only 4 kittens in this picture; Spock was on the floor following his mama around.)
Sweet sisters Troi (left) and Janeway. Looks like I’m interrupting nap time!
Spock declares this bed “very very comfy.”

The milk bar was open, but only had two polite patrons. The rest of the kittens were busy with other things.
Good night innernets. (Kes and Kirk)
The Trekklings are 5 weeks old! In the past week, they’ve gotten really good at using the litter box (I’ve only found two accidents, total), have abandoned the crate, and are starting to climb, and spending a lot of time on the couch. In the week ahead I expect them to continue their exploration of the entire foster room, to start showing interest in Uhura’s food (they occasionally sniff at it), and get even cuter.
Their current weights, from smallest to largest:
Troi: 16.6 oz/ 470.6 g
Janeway: 19.6 oz/555.7 g
Kes: 19.9 oz/564.2 g
Spock: 21.3 oz/603.8 g
Kirk: 22.2 oz/629.4 g
Kes is just such a happy girl. She always looks so cheerful. ❤️

Just some random moments from the foster room: Spock with the zoomies, Kes getting sassy with her mama, Janeway and Troi skittering at each other, culminating in a big ol’ mosh pit of kittens fighting.
Look at Troi, just climbing up the side of the couch oh-so-casually.

Made me smile about wishing Fall was here. It was 12 C outside this morning (now only 15, but it is Scotland) and I’m with Newt in the heated bed. He looks so content.
Is that Janeway checking out the milk bar while Troi is busy climbing the couch? I can’t tell the torties apart from that angle!
Yep, that’s Janeway sneaking in to the milk bar. 🙂
