Just wondering if these kitties are moving around so much pretty early.
They do seem to be a bit advanced compared to previous litters! (I don’t know if that’s because they’re not in the crate any more, or if I’m misremembering, or if they ARE actually a little ahead of the curve.)

I’ve been following since 2022 and Mimosa was my first. So this is the first time I’ve ever seen a Momma move her babies from the crate!! Has this ever happened before?? I wish we were able to get inside their heads to know what they’re thinking and how their minds work!! Thank you for what you do. I think you’re wonderful!❤
Oh, it happens often, actually. Usually – USUALLY – if I move the kittens back, mamas will let it slide and just keep them in the crate (Meander moved them out of the crate, I moved them back, and she let them stay in the crate). But there have been some persistent mamas who know what they want and think I should mind my own business. The one mama who sticks out in my mind the most is Nola from 2017. She gave birth to her kittens BEHIND the crate, on the hard, cold floor, and no matter how many times I moved them into the crate, she just wasn’t having it. I’d put down blankets, and she’d push them aside. That girl knew her own mind and wasn’t having my nonsense.

Is it a Paper Clip pie? Sure is! (My favorite!)
I left that carrier in the room (after I took Andi to Michelle’s house on Tuesday so she could deliver him), and Paper Clip had no fear of the carrier.
Stapler, the lappiest lap cat ever.

It seems to be unanimous: Fanta is the comfiest pillow.
Sodapop opens the milk bar.
Checking to make sure Sundrop is clean.
“Oh lord, this child.”
Line ’em up! From left: Poppy, Fanta, Moxie and Sundrop. Nice of Sodapop to give birth to a variety pack, wasn’t it?
Moxie’s working on her Ears of Annoyance.
So is Fanta!

I love seeing Alice and Charlie so close. Like she’s realizing he’s not really SO scary.

I changed out the bedding in the kittens’ nest because it needed it, and the kittens were like “What is going ONNNN?! This doesn’t smell like home!”
Poppi (left) and Fanta. The smallest and largest! He outweighs her by 1 1/2 ounces (42.5 g.)

If I’d realized Posty was going to do those mid-air flips, I would have aimed the camera better! And now she’s fetching? (Well, once) Her personality is really starting to show. What a sweet, silly girl.
Posty presents, for your approval: a foot!
Good night innernets. (I wish Moxie would relax a little.)
