Carmy’s the king of the kitten pile!
He says “Come ON, guys! It’s a new day! We got things to do!”
Sydney says “I’m gonna stare at the weird lady’s foot.”
Jeff and Richie say “We’re gonna hang out between the end of the crate and the litter box.”
“And THEN I’m gonna travel to the edge of the rug!” says Jeff.
Tina’s gonna be busy keeping an eye on these guys, for sure.
“I tell him to stay on the rugs, but does he listen to me?”
Carmy LOVES himself a belly rub. Look at that smile!

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) this weekend.
Jeff would like to speak to your manager RIGHT NOW.
Carmy is 4 weeks old today! He’s 1 lb, 1.1 oz/ 484.78 g and gaining well. He miiiight show some interest in solid food in the next week, but probably he’ll wait another week or so. He’s using the litter box pretty consistently (I haven’t seen any accidents) and he’s just cute as a button. I am still supplement feeding him formula, and as a result he’s pretty darn happy to see me when I walk into the room.

The kittens are all out of the crate (though Sydney doesn’t come out ’til near the end), and Tina has a LOT to say about that. (Though of course Tina has a lot to say about a lot, so this is nothing new.)
We’ve got a lights-on, no-one-home situation going on here with Richie.

Carmy’s feelin’ wild today! He’s such a little wild thing that Tina got annoyed and stomped off. That didn’t slow him down, though – he was jumping on his siblings, biting and kicking and just being a crazy boy.
Good night innernets. (Richie and Jeff)
Jeff says “This Richie pillow is so comfy, I think I’m just going to stay in bed ’til noon.” Fair enough!
Tina says “Are you behaving yourself down there?”
And Carmy says “Yes, Mama.”

While the kittens amuse themselves, Tina and I have a hard-hitting conversation about whether she’s the best mama, whether the kittens were a pain today, whether they’re cute, and whether she deserves a little time to herself. (“Yes” to all, of course.) The only topic we didn’t discuss is whether she’s a little baby, but I believe that was implied and of course she is.
Good night innernets. (Jeff, Richie and Carmy, with a little bit of Sydney off to the right.)
Carmy’s guilty little face! “No, I wasn’t about to bite Richie’s ear. I’d never!”
YouTube link
Carmy’s been using the litter box for a few days, but this is the first time I’ve caught it on video (you’re WELCOME!) and also the first time he’s done more than pee in it (there is nothing gross in this video, ya big babies.)
Good night innernets. (From left: Sydney, Richie and Jeff. Carmy was in my lap.)

Is it just the lighting, or does Jeff really have Tabby stripes? A recent head shot gives the appearance of a Tabby M but in the edge-of-the-rug pic with Tina they appear to be all the way down his side.
I’ve noticed the same thing! I wondered if there is such a thing as a ‘melanistic’ tabby variation like in leopards & jaguars. I’ve known my black kitty since she was a tiny kitten & she didn’t have any stripes back then nor now.
Good thoughts, and I came here to the Comments section to ask about this very thing too!
Carmy is one spoiled brat!
carmy’s earz have bloomed!!!
Carmy on top of the kitten pile is magnificent–great picture!
