Zephyr poses in the pink Adirondack chair while his sisters mill around below him.

Pandora’s turn to pose. Excellent job!

Daphne on the wall shelf, sharpening her claws.

Everyone but Zeus is present and ready to settle down for a nap.

I’ve been feeding Calliope on the Churu desk because otherwise she’ll just wait for the kittens to finish eating before she eats. Zephyr (not in this picture) has started jumping up there to join her, so I moved the litter buckets (which they use as steps) away from the table while Calliope eats. Zeus got up, checked it out, and didn’t quite have the nerve to jump to the desk from there.

Zephyr said “Hold my catnip.” Brat! (He jumped from the top of that other litter bucket to the desk – not from the floor!)

I put this round scratcher out in the garage because it had gotten fairly ripped up (as cardboard eventually does when used to sharpen claws), was coated in fur and ready to be tossed. But then Rocco spotted it and declared it comfy, so I guess it stays out there for now. (That was Charlie’s scratcher – he has a new one now.)

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

When the kittens were bugging Calliope the day after her spay surgery, I put them downstairs in the dining room to give her a break, and Uncle Charlie came along to stare at them like they were a zoo exhibit… and they (well, at least Pandora and Zephyr) stared right back at him.

Daphne strikes a pose in the pink Adirondack chair. Pink is her color!

Someone sent us a battery-operated butterfly toy for the kittens and Calliope!

Calliope playing, briefly (I love seeing her play!)

All eyes on me! From left: Zeus (front), Zephyr, Daphne, Pandora & Cassandra.

Good night innernets. (Daphne & Pandora)
