Energetic Kittens

Hey! What did I tell you about fighting in the bed? And you, over there! If you get stuck behind the mirror again, I will not be amused.

Can you blame the mommy cat for trying to take a nap?

Fierce Bad Kittens Corner German Shepherd

See what happens when you fall asleep on the humans’ bed? They find you–the five kittens, stalking helpless prey.

‘Cause that’s pretty much the only kind of prey they’re equipped to handle. They’re just kittens, after all.

Contagious Yawning

Here’s something that cats and people have in common.

You see somebody yawning and the next thing y’know, you have to yawn, too.

I never knew cats did that. Now I think my turtle used to do it, too.

One Sleepy Kitten

Has this kitten fallen asleep sitting up? They do that sometimes. The other kittens are busy exploring the possibilities of the couch. How do you cork off while your siblings, all around you, are having fun? I wish I knew.

Sleepy Kittens

So… I loaded this video onto the mouse so I could post it, then went into the kitchen to do the dishes… and next thing I knew, I was on my way upstairs for a nap–and had never actually posted the video. Hope I’m not losing my marbles.

Sleepy Kitten Is Chick Magnet

Well, what did you think I meant? “Chich” means baby chicken. Fluffy feathers. And here’s one of them now, cuddling with a kitten till they both fall asleep.

Isn’t domestication grand? If we could only domesticate people…

Big Dog, With 5 Kittens

Just watching kittens can wear you out. I’ll bet this dog has been kitty-sitting all day. His reward is to get climbed on; maybe they think he’s part of the sofa. Ah, the Peaceable Kingdom! It’s well worth looking for.

Room for Four Kittens

Fond memory: Buster and Missy used to fight for possession of my lap. It wasn’t big enough for both of them at once. But it used to be–when they were the size of the kittens in this video.

Kittens Speak

What does “meow” actually mean? And there are all those variations. Kittens have a lot to say, if only we could understand.

Our rats never made a sound unless they had a fight and someone got bitten. Then they stopped.

Kittens Too Close to the Mirror

A lot of animals get silly over their reflections in a mirror. I had a chameleon who’d go positively postal if he saw it. None of our cats ever showed much interest in his or her reflection. I suppose they were more sophisticated than most.
