When the feather teaser comes out, the chattering begins.
And so does the grabbing.
Crouton shows off her excellent jumping form. (I love that the teaser is like 3 feet away, but she still has faith that she’s going to be able to grab it.)
Ciabatta jumps! (Pumpernickel’s face in the lower left is killing me. “He’s NEVER gonna get it!”)
Pita’s got it!
Babka launched herself off the couch and made contact! (Please note that three feet are in the air, and that last foot is pushing off from the couch. I love this shot.)
Crouton and Pumpernickel, working as a team. (She is quite a bit smaller than he is, but this picture makes the difference look even bigger than it is.)
Pumpernickel got it!
And there go Pita and Pumpernickel.

The milk bar is getting more and more crowded. (I have no photographic or video proof, but the kittens are starting to time-share the milk bar. I often see one or two nursing while the others are sleeping.)
Dillydally and Skitter have a snuggle.
Dillydally’s all “HI, Mama!”
And Meander’s all “Hi, kid. Stay in the crate. You’re too little to be wandering around.”
Bolt’s belly is just as soft as it looks. I had to do a quality check, y’know.
Mosey’s all “Hallo.”

Alice Mo has a grumpy.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
In case you missed it in the blog post this morning, all the Crumbs are now adoption pending! Pita went from no interest to getting several inquiries/applications at once. (Hopefully that will happen for their mother soon.) Pita will be joining a family with two other kitties for her to rule – PLAY with. I mean play with (she’ll be a benevolent dictator.)
The kittens are going for their spay/neuters next Tuesday and will start heading home a few days later (except for Pita, who will be with us until the beginning of June – her people are going out of town.)
In case you missed it in the blog this morning, it turns out that instead of having a litter of all boys, we actually have a litter of 3 boys and 3 girls! (When we initially determined what they were, we were both a little iffy on Dillydally and Lollygag, so to find out that they’re both girls wasn’t that much of a surprise. Bolt was, though!)
A tip for remembering who’s a girl: if they have an “L” in their name, they’re a girl. (That wasn’t intentional, but I like that it worked out like that!) (Also, I didn’t notice this, but commenters pointed it out: the boys all have “S” in their names!)

You wouldn’t expect all 6 of these VERY chonky kittens to fit at the milk bar at the same time, but they make it happen!
MID-AIR COLLISION IN THE KITTEN ROOM involving Babka (top), Crouton (middle) and Ciabatta (bottom.) Since kittens are made of rubber and marshmallow fluff, they’re fine.

Bouncy balls, bouncy kittens. I think they’ve secretly replaced the kittens’ knees with springs. Watch ’em GO!
Dillydally (left) and Skitter have a smooch.
Good night innernets. (Crouton)
