Is Poppi also a calico? It looks like her tail might be tri-colored, but I just can’t tell.
She’s considered to be a tortie point – if you remember Alley Oop from a couple of months ago (below), she’s an example of a tortie point.
At the moment, Poppi has a lot less color on her face than the tortie points I’ve seen, so I’ll be very curious to see what she looks like as an adult!

“Well hello, good-lookin’!”
“Watchin’ you, lady.” (Fanta)
The kittens recently discovered this “spider” toy and they love it, especially Poppi. (I’d tell you where it came from, but I honestly haven’t a clue, and now the toy has disappeared into another dimension, so I can’t check it for a tag.)
Fanta and Sundrop have a skeptical.
Sodapop is just so darn PRETTY.
Moxie has the MOST ridiculous whiskers.
And so does Poppi, for that matter.
Fanta’s serious little face kills me.
Sundrop’s sweet little face kills me, too.
It makes me laugh how, in every picture, Fanta looks SO much bigger than Sundrop. They’ve weighed exactly the same since they were 5 weeks old (weight chart here.) I guess Sundrop is just a more compact version.

(Non-cat) Sights from around Crooked Acre.
Western Skink, I think. He was apparently living under the hose reel, and when I moved the hose reel, out he skittered.
Hellebores/Lenten Roses are blooming! (Have been for a while, actually.)
Mister Bluebird (in the sun) and his associate/friend/life partner/wife (I don’t know the exact relationship, but I assume it’s romantic) Miz Bluebird (in shadow, further down on the same branch) are back! I don’t know if they’re the same bluebirds who built a nest in the bird house on our front porch, but I like to think they are. They’ve been busily cleaning out the bird house and building a nest, and I could not be more excited. I spend a lot of time staring out the window in hopes of seeing them enter or leave the bird house.
The Rapeseed fields are blooming!
The flowers are so pretty.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) yesterday.
I love that the kittens are STILL using the Fruitasan! (Moxie (top) and Sundrop)
A brief snuggle with Sodapop before she heard a noise and had to run off to investigate.

In the vein of “kittens will play with ANYTHING,” here’s Sundrop playing with a piece of kibble and letting Fanta know that he is NOT sharing.
That one super long whisker sticking up just cracks me up. Poppi’s a little alien waiting for the mother ship to call her home. Beep boop!

Several short clips stitched together: Fanta being RUDE to his mama, kittens POP!ping at each other, Fanta and Sundrop playing and chasing each other, and kittens trying (and failing) to nurse.
It’s a Moxie pie, and you will be startled to hear that that is my favorite!
Good night innernets. (Fanta, who seems to have become very leggy lately!)
