Some pics of the Dumplings before they headed off to Tabatha’s.

A sleepy Tortellini (Tortellini pie! My favorite!)

Teresa gave us this park bench, and it is SO CUTE!
(All 5 kittens won’t fit on the bench at the same time, if you were wondering.)

Calliope, looking very serious.

The girls – from left: Pandora, Daphne and Cassandra. Daphne looks startled 100% of the time.

If you’re guessing that the milk bar just walked away, you would be correct. From left: Zephyr, Pandora, Zeus, Cassandra & Daphne.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky/Threads) yesterday.

And now we are climbing. (It’s mostly Daphne and Zeus, but the others are starting to think about it too!)

Zephyr on a bench in the sunshine. Waiting for the bus, obviously. (He needs a little knapsack, doesn’t he?)

Calliope and Zephyr are HUNGRY, and they’d like food now, please.

Daphne caught a rat… and now she’s not sure what she’s supposed to do with it.

Zeus has a toy! One month old today, and Zeus is (1) playing, and (2) showing a preference for feathers. I don’t know about y’all, but when I was one month old I was still coming to terms with the idea of existing.

Good night innernets. (Cassandra and Daphne – and Zeus and Pandora are back there, too.)

Wow – it seems like just yesterday you were wondering when they’d finally leave the crate. They’re clearly exceptionally fast learners making up for lost time.
Aha! My mother was right–Tuxies are climbers! (From her time volunteering at the local shelter.) Love the pic of Zeus and Daphne on the cat tree.
And all of a sudden, they are out of the crate and on the go! I love Daphne’s startled look!
Love the park bench shots.
Park bench pics are tailor made and perfect as a new calendar theme!
They’ve taken to out of the crate very well, for all their initial resistance.
