The Obligatory Kitten Pictures


6/21/11

You know how when your friends start breeding all they want to do is shove pictures of their babies in your face? You know how they then devote web pages to the antics of their spawn, and put up a YouTube video every time the precious thing farts? Well, I've been holding off on posting pictures of our kittens for that reason. I have never been, and will never be, one of those people.

Yes, I have taken loads of kitten pictures; I just didn't plan for them to be public irritants.  But people keep asking me, "When are you going to post the pictures?"

So, here they are, kitten farts and all. Hereafter the wee beasties will make only the occasional appearance.

This is Moxie at three weeks:


And at five weeks:



Already getting into trouble:


And posing:


Mojo at five weeks:



Five weeks:



Six weeks, talent for destruction having been established:



Burnaby awaits the arrival of playthings by resting on my cycling jacket


and hanging out in the closet:


When the little guys were eight weeks old, we took them home.









Wary at first, Burnaby growled and hissed.  By the second day he was trailing them.  The day after that, he started playing with them.  Now they're inseparable.





Jack is responsible for this picture:

One ribbon, three cats:

Burnaby is fond of grooming his brothers as a show of dominance:

The boys like to sleep upside-down:



More grooming:



Jack finds that one of his wine bottles looks a bit unlike the others:


Mojo is fond of tangling himself up when he sleeps:



Lounging around on the Summer Solstice:


OK. That's it.

Back to bicycle blogging.

Cute! I'm really glad that Richard's kittens are living with you.

Excuse me? Kitten farts? You promised kitten farts, and there was a distinct lack of specific feline flatulence among these. I feel cheated.

How did the ride to Belmar go today?

@ Plain Jim: One should never feel cheated of not having a whiff of kitten fart. Trust me.
