Janeway is playing with some blue toy, Kirk is thinking about taking it away from her, and Kes is shocked by the whole thing.
Kirk shows off his magnificently floofy tail.
Like many kittens before them, Kirk and Spock are enthralled by the apron hanging in the kitchen.
Kirk is Little Mister Innocent.
You almost can’t see Janeway in this picture, she’s so well camouflaged by the bed.
It’s a Kirk pie. So much floof!
Spock’s considering an attack, but – darn it! – Troi has the Foot of Nope up and no one can get past THAT.
The kittens came through their spay/neuter surgeries just fine, as expected. We were back home by noon, they got to eat lunch (they were SO hungry because there’d been no breakfast), and after they did some wobbly walking around and giving me “What HAPPENED?!” eyes, they (we all) settled down and took a long afternoon nap. After a few hours, they were about 75% of normal. They bounce back SO fast at this age, it never ceases to amaze me.
Kirk goes home in a couple of days, on Saturday. Troi and Kes are going home next Friday (the 20th), and Janeway and Spock are going home the day after that (the 21st). It’s always nice when the kittens leave in a staggered manner rather than going all at once. Am I complaining about a little extra time with Troi, Kes, Janeway and Spock? Nope!
(Yes, there will be another litter, but no they are not in residence yet and won’t be ’til the Trekklings have all left.)

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
These 5 muffinheads are headed off for their spay/neuters today! I expect all to go well, and that we will be home by early afternoon, just in time for a long, long nap.
Home again, home again! The kittens’ spay/neuters went just fine. We’ve been home for half an hour, they all had a light lunch, they’re all still a little hiiiigh, and I’m hoping they’ll settle down and snooze the afternoon away.
(Side note: The vet uses surgical glue to close their incisions and we’ve never put cones on the kittens (or adult cats) after their surgeries.)
Good night innernets! (From left: Kes, Troi, Janeway, Spock (back) and Kirk)

OMG, the banner I have at the moment is Zelda and Myrtle in the cat tree, and Zelda’s look of complete and utter outrage just made me spit my coffee. 😀
I’ll be sad to see this gorgeous litter go, but as always, I’m so happy they’re going straight home!!!
Do the front-porch definitely-not-your-cats-really let you pet them? Or are you studiously not trying?
Oh, they’ll let us pet them – Fred pets them more than I do, but we both pet them occasionally, and they’re fine with it, though Rocco can be a little grabby with his claws if you pet him for too long.
Wow!! I’m sure I never would have spotted Janeway in the camouflage picture unless you had pointed it out!
I’m back – because I just wanted to report having having re-read the 2009 entry about poor Fred’s Lafayette-induced, rather muffled (and surprisingly not very high-pitched) breakfast scream; got a very good laugh out of that!!
I remember that incident, and sometimes I think of it and it still makes me laugh and laugh.
