Carrying on from my original kitten post, which started a few posts back from here:
-
It's been an emotional day. The kittens found a moth this morning and I left them chasing it around as I went for my walk. I tried to save it, but it disappeared as I shooed the kittens off it.
Now a fly has appeared up here and there's lots of galloping about trying to catch it. Also tiny squeaks of frustration as it flies above them.
Supervisor had some late lunch under the watchful eye of her brother, who then bopped her on the head rudely, for not eating fast enough.
Attempting to weigh the herd tonight. Got Supervisor into a shopping bag easily, lifted and hung off a luggage scale. She's put on some weight since she was weighed at the vets. Now 4.05kg, up from 3.7kg. Which is great, but not her usual 4.2kg yet.
Try putting tabby in the bag, hold it up and go to grab the scale. Tabby wriggles out of the bag, lands on the floor and looks startled. Her brother, watching all this, is horrified. They both run off. This will take a while.

Supervisor feels very strongly that at 3:15pm, it's dinner time. The kittens tend to agree but are currently distracted by sprinting through the place. I've told Supervisor she's very early but she doesn't believe me.

Lazy evening. Tabby is sleeping in a windowsill.

You can see where Supervisor has worn a hole in this rug, but it's such a fun game, I can't replace it.

Got a big bag of dental biscuits for Supervisor yesterday and left it on a lower shelf in the pantry. Walked in there this morning to get cat food and found bag on floor. Covered in tiny bite marks.

We've been out at a car show all morning. Got home to find Supervisor in a silly mood and stuff everywhere. Toys, paper, tunnels, it's all been tossed around the place. Kitten riots? Supervisor riots? Very suspicious, and no one is talking.

They all got fed. Supervisor went downstairs to beat up the rug and wait for my partner to come home. The kittens are now chasing each other around the place and crashing in and out of boxes. What on earth is in that kitten food.

Nail trimming time. Caught my lad first, he happened to be on the cat post so he got done. He still tries to turn to jelly and slide out of my grip but I've wrangled sneakier kitties than him. He does get over it pretty quickly though, with a good belly rub.
Then it was Supervisor's turn. She doesn't like it, hisses and tries to get away. And sulks afterwards.
Finally, I found my little tabby friend. She too tries to get away, but also gets over it quickly with belly rubs.

I fed them all before going to the pool this morning. Kittens inhaled their brekky as usual. Got home from swimming, Supervisor wanted some more of hers. She's a grazer, not a vacuum. Kittens must have been having fun rampaging whilst I was out, as they are both asleep in a box.

I was giving my lad a belly rub on the cat post today. He was wriggling around as usual, he loves it so, and got so excited he fell off the post.
