Just a girl (Hazel) and her banana.
Margarita and Benji are all “‘Scuse you, we are sleepin’.”
Hazel and Nigel aren’t sure whether they’re going to take a nap or have a tussle. Could be either!
Matilda has a complaint.
Hazel’s face is cracking me UP. “You see what I put up with?”
Benji has a yawn.
Kittens in motion (some of them, anyway.)
Monty loaf! (My favorite!)

Sebastian’s pretty sure it’s time to eat.
“You gots my bottle?”
Ah, there’s the stuff!
Time for a little chew on the nipple to end off this meal time.
Sebastian, I realized yesterday, is now the age and almost exact weight Margarita was when we got this bunch.
Unlike Margarita (and re-realizing how young she was when I got her makes the lying-in-her-plate behavior make sense. 4 weeks is very young to be exclusively solid-food fed, though I did supplement her with formula when she allowed it), he’s not quite ready for solid food. Which is fine – there’s no hurry. They always figure it out in time.
Wren (from the Nestlings litter) demanded her bottle ’til she was 9 or 10 weeks old. I remember everyone else (younger than her!) being completely uninterested in the bottle, but I’d sit down on the floor, blanket on my lap, and offer her the bottle. She’d climb into my lap, suck down an entire bottle, and then head on her way. I wondered if she’d ever give it up, and one day she was DONE.
Sebastian is using the litter box, showing a little interest in the little bowl of kibble I’ve put in his playpen, and is now stomping around the kitchen before and after his bottle. He’ll get the solid food thing down in his own time.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) this weekend.
Monty is such a little poser. (Hazel’s tail sticking up behind the chair cracks me UP.)
Margarita was mid-yawn, but the way her tongue is hanging to the side, she looks very “WAZZUUUUUP!”

I just love a wiggly-eared bottle baby! Sebastian (who will be 4 weeks old tomorrow) still loves his bottle.
“Meowdy.” (Sebastian)

Margarita started something with Monty and then stomped away, so he had to come over and finish it!
This ridiculous boy and his ridiculous spotted belly. He is such a GOOF. (Nigel)
Good night innernets. (Hazel, who has retired to her bed with her shrimp and her cell phone.)
Just a boy in his space ship with his Baby Frog, waiting for the mother ship to beam him up. Beep boop! (Benji)
Former fosters! Housepanther TC (Thunderclap Newman, 2014) and his tuxie brother Jethro (Jethro Tull), and their sister (not a former foster, but we love her anyway) Screechie. Bonnie says: “Jethro and TC have remained best friends since they came home so many years ago. Screechie (our Afghanistan refugee) is not a fan of the boys…or any other cat. All three appreciate the nice comfy chairs generously provided by their human servants.” ❤️ (Thanks Bonnie!)

2 1/2 minutes of shenanigans and hijinks in the kitten room!
Former fosters! Housepanther Flynn (formerly Kohle, 2012) and Hook (Puff, 2013). Selena reports: “Flynn and Hook are still best buds and the kings of the castle. Happy to fill any empty boxes that happen to be just sitting around.” (Thanks, Selena!)
Good night innernets. (Hazel)
Nigel’s all “How did I get in here, and how do I get out?!”
Can I offer you a cup o’ Sebastian?
YouTube link
“HALLO LADY WE ARE STARVINGGGG!”
Matilda found a brief patch of sunlight and claimed it for herself.

Nigel has a purrrrrr. (Pardon the cut in the middle. My stomach growled, and since my phone was basically sitting on my stomach, it was VERY loud. I didn’t think anyone needed to hear that. YOU’RE WELCOME.)
A boy (Monty) and his mouse.
Good night innernets. (Benji, who likes to rest in style.)

Oh a Flookdate! And then I got to revisit 2013 and remind myself just how crazy adorable Puff, aka Little Big Head, nka Hook, was as a kitten!!
ALL the pics are great, but could you save the one of Sebastian saying “You gots food?” to the favorites page please? Also the cup of Sebastian needs to be a banner -when you have time of course.
That Monty loaf (my favorite too!) is proving up very nicely indeed.
Sebastian in the “You gots my bottle?” picture – OH MY HEART!! Not to mention the “cup o’ Sebastian”. So very cute.
Nice to see TC and Jethro and their sister!
Also very good to see Flynn and Hook — and today’s 2013 post features baby Hook (Puff) leaving the crate! And being called “Little Big Head”, hahaha.
