Cats, Cat Dragons, and Ponies in the Sun

Hospital barn cats also know what the first day of proper sun is for.

The cat dragons on their hoard. They see yarn balls, they roost.

Today marks the first real day of spring. Sure, it’s not spring -yet- but the sun feels like it, and that’s what matters.

I’m So Funneh

Cleared out the pile of old and older pictures today. I did things with them. These are the things I did with them. Feel free to steal for your own nefarious uses.

Miv and Piv really do love that box. It’s the one we got them in. It is the best box.

At least they’re kid cats.

Our political manifesto.

I liked that shirt. Too bad.

The cats are not the only animals in this household with a political manifesto.

Our kittens have a sister and their sister has a grumpy little butt.

Random Pictures of Random Critters

First test of my new camera! Pilar looks unimpressed.

Desca and Dinah didn’t even notice.

So unimpressed.

Still need to find the exact right configuration for shooting animals in motion. Camera has trouble with the black pug! That’s Maja, sibling of our kittens, and the pugs Bertha and Bacon.

Feisty lil thing she is.

Again, not entirely satisfied with the blur on things in motion, such as little kitteh tails.

Fan. Boi.

Total fanboi.

Day Two, the Kittening

If you haven’t already, meet Miv and Piv (which translates, very roughly, to Pip and Squeak, or Shriek and Howl) who earned their names for their voices. They have a lot of voice between them. Miv is a tuxedo boy and Piv is a calico girl. They are four and a half weeks old, and we have adopted them because their mother abandoned them.
