Clover liked the fleece bed, but his claw got stuck, and he wasn’t sure what to do. (I helped him, of course.)
Bramble puts the ol’ chomperoo on the crate.
Clover found a toy and thinks it’s kinda awesome.
Mimosa got up and walked away to eat, and Kudzu had feelings about that.
“How DARE she.”
Clover found another toy and thought it smelled interesting.
Hollyhock could not possibly be any cuter.
That is one crowded milk bar.
I love Mondo’s bold stripes.

An old shot of Dewey, so y’all don’t forget what a good-looking boy he is. (For the newer readers: Dewey decided one day that he doesn’t want his picture taken, and if I so much as think about taking his picture, he vamooses into another dimension. I spent about a year sneaking up on him only to have him go ::poof!:: and finally I decided that I’d respect his wishes. I hope that one day he’ll change his mind.)

“Innernets, please admire my toeses,” requests Kudzu.
Mimosa’s tail is an EXCELLENT toy, according to Bramble and Mondo.

Look at those kittens, toddling all over the place! (And please note, at the beginning, that Hollyhock actually picked up that toy. She’s a genius!)
Bramble likes to sit here and bite the crate (Hollyhock loves to do that, too.)

Some kittens (lookin’ at you, Bramble) want to play more than they want to nurse. He eventually makes his way over to the milk bar, after Mama tells him to stop foolin’ around.
Bramble, Mondo and Clover curled up together for a nap.
Good night innernets. (Mimosa and from left: Mondo, Clover, Kudzu, Bramble and Hollyhock.)

I think that mother cats lose weight not just due to milk production, but also because of the energy expended in keeping the little ones clean.
OMG — all of a sudden, they are KITTENS! I mean, they were kittens before, but now they’re starting to act the way we think kittens act! So cute!
It’s crazy how it happens all of a sudden – one moment, little clueless piles of cute, the next they’ve got the pointy ears, the eyes, and the sharp little teeth!
WOW, they literally changed overnight!!
