Carmy atop the pile o’ kittens, havin’ a yawn.
Carmy considers a nap.
Richie using Tina’s tail as a pillow. Awww!
Carmy regards his family.
Sydney rolls around on her back while Tina keeps watch.
Tina’s face is cracking me UP.
Sydney and Carmy have a tussle, kind of.
The milk bar’s getting crowded.
Carmy checks out the ceiling of the crate.
And the door of the crate.
Hmmm… nope. Still just a little too far to for him to step.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
I would say Tina spends a good solid 90% of her time either in the crate (here she is, top, greeting me) or flopped down right in front of it, snoozing. She does occasionally wander the room, eats, uses the litter box, has even checked out the view out the windows a few times. But right now her focus is the crate and what’s in it. She’s such a good mama!
Tina says “MINE.”
Is Tina a Burmese? Could be! Siamese? Maybe! The truth is that it’s all conjecture on our part, since she came from animal control and DNA tests are so expensive.
So from here on I’m going to declare that she’s 100% North Alabama ChitChat.

Kitten mosh pit! It’s a rough life ain’t it, kittens? (I love how Tina always has something to say!)
Eyeball report! (Carmy’s eyes have been open for about a week now, but I’m including him anyway.) All eyes are open (though Sydney’s right eye isn’t all the way open) and all are that beautiful dark blue kittens are born with. I think things are still a bit of an unfocused blur for Richie, Jeff and Sydney, but Carmy is really SEEING things now (the ceiling of the crate, the fact that a “beyond the crate” exists, the weird lady who keeps talking to him), and I predict that the fun is about to begin.
Good night innernets. (Sydney, Carmy (back), Richie (front) and Jeff)

Tina’s face in that photo where Carmy is airing his harbls is giving me Maxi-dead-eyed-Sopranos-killer vibe. I miss her.
She was the best! She always looked at me like she was planning on slitting my throat, but she’d be purring and kneading at the same time.
I tell you what. There are some things in life that I r-e-a-l-l-y love, and one of those things is seeing kittens peering out into the great big world from within the Love & Hisses crate. Gets me every single time. (Hi there, Carmy!)
I love it too!
It will be interesting to see if Carmy leads the little kittens out of the crate, or if he waits for them to be ready to leave. Or maybe he’ll just explore on his own and report back to the others!
If he’s the first one out (which won’t be surprising), I expect Sydney to be right behind him!
In that picture where Tina’s giving you a _look_, also: Flaunt ’em while you got ’em, little man.
Ha – YES!
P.S. Happy 10-year (wow, wow – 10?!) adoptaversary to Orlando!!!
Hard to believe it’s been 10 years, isn’t it!
