With Aslan finally caving in and eating canned food, I’m able to get a picture of all five of them around a plate.
Aslan’s eating style is what I call “crumb catching” – long after everyone else is done eating, he’s still there licking up what’s left. Charming and Leia are what I call “first responders” because they’re the first ones to belly up to the plate. Jareth and Buttercup usually scoot out the door with Kate (who gets her snack in the hallway so as not to share it with any nosy little kittens), and so after I put the plate down, I have to go grab them from the bathroom or Fred’s room, and put them in front of the plate. It’s a whole PROCESS, this feeding of kittens.
“I likes to explore. But I also likes to eat. It’s a conundrum!”
Buttercup likes to sit on the track toy and lick her lips after she’s done eating.
Yes, they still belly up to the milk bar pretty regularly.
“Hey, there’s a whole ‘nother room! With a weird lady who points that clicky box at everyone! And hey – that is one GOOD-LOOKIN’ kitty boy. He’s ALMOST as good looking as ME!”
Aslan down there on the bottom, trying to look casual, makes me laugh.
Naptime for Buttercup.
“How do I GET into that room?”
Charming, on the scratcher, with a piece of cardboard on his chin. I don’t know, I don’t ask questions.
I’m pretty sure that picture of Charming was taken just a few minutes before he sang the perennial Jazz favorite “I Gots Poop in my Furs (and I Don’t Care.)”
And then not long after THAT song was sung, I responded with that old familiar Blues ditty “I Thought It was Cardboard in His Leg Fur (But It Was Actually Poop.)”
Fun times, y’all.
Here’s a video of the Royal kittens bouncing around. They’re so FUN at this age!

Pile o’ dragons. I love the way Scorch has his head resting on Norbert, who apparently makes a very comfy pillow.
On the move!
Still on the move. You can almost see everyone’s face here, except for Norbert. Someone’s always gotta mess up the picture.
Paws up, y’all!
Khaleesi keeps an eye on me.
That’s Ruth’s little behind and tail sticking straight up in the air right in front of Norbert’s face. I think she was diving for one of the lower nipples.
And here’s a Dragon video. The first section is just them laying there (Ember yawns at one point) while Khaleesi was in the litter box, and the second section is after Khaleesi was back and had settled down.

Tunin’ the loons.
That Loony Jake is one loony boy.
I noticed something about Jake the other day. He is VERY happy to have other cats (usually Newt or Tommy) lick him on the head. But if they’d ever like the favor returned, he does not reciprocate. Tommy presented the top of his head to Jake the other day, and Jake just said “Yep, that’s a head. Pardon me, I’ve got places to be.” and skedaddled.
