Calliope – who is very definitely in heat, yayyyy – is going for her spay surgery next Friday, the 14th. I need to get out the weaning onesie (weansie) so that we can get her milk to dry up, but I’m putting it off because, well, those kittens like to nurse. And mama doesn’t mind them nursing. And the weansie always feels so mean(sie)!
I was sitting on the couch and Daphne sat on the Adirondack and looked up at me.
She wandered away, but Zeus came to join me.
Then Zephyr came up to join us.
I took this picture of Calliope sharpening her claws on the scratcher and didn’t realize ’til later that I’d also caught Daphne jumping down from the mushroom scratcher. This picture makes me laugh and laugh.
Daphne on the Fancy Sofa, bein’ cute.
Pandora atop the tall scratcher (which she got to from the back of the couch. These kittens are all OVER the place these days!)
Cassandra, learning that beds are comfy. Who knew?!

Charlie loves this box (it’s the box a case of Diet Coke comes in)(I will not be accepting lectures about my Diet Coke habit at this time.) I tried to reinforce the sides with duct tape, but as you can see it didn’t really hold up. Turns out, he doesn’t care if it’s got four sides or not. In fact, I suspect that when the side he’s got his head on breaks and what he ends up with is a flat piece of cardboard, he’ll still sleep there. (There’ll be a fresh new Diet Coke box soon enough, DON’T YOU WORRY.)

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky/Threads) yesterday.
Breakfast is served! (I am using plates for them right now – tried the big chips-and-dip divided plate, but it just confused them. I’ll try again in the future.)
The calico girls still fit through the tunnel! (Pandora (top) and Cassandra)

Calliope was lying in my lap, and then came the milk bar seekers! (The video is shorter than it should be due to my not noticing that I’d hit the “record” button and accidentally ended it sooner than intended!)
If you ever wondered what Zeus’s belly looks like, here you go!

The kittens are playing, and Calliope’s got a lot to say. (Yes, I think she’s going into heat. I had hoped to get her in for her spay this week, but wasn’t able to make that happen. She’s scheduled for next Friday, the 14th.)
Calliope’s like “Can a girl not get a SHORT break without these kittens harassing me?” and Daphne’s all “Ooh, lots of seating at the milk bar right now!”
Good night innernets. (Daphne)
