Beautiful! It looks like you're napping, too! And Spirit (and Giorgio) always tries to disembowel my leather shoes.

Is that a purple couch?!

No, I was awake -- just reading on the laptop. Yep. It's a purple couch. Must find that picture of the purple bathtub...

Oh, they're beautiful. And they seem to have all their duties -- lying between you and the laptop, destroying shoes, being cute -- down pat.

They're also really good at the fighting across the bed at 3 in the morning thing. At only 8 weeks! Well, we wanted smart cats...

Ours, at 1.5 years old, can tell time! They have decided 4:00 am is when they NEED breakfast.

Congratulations on the new cat family.

Continuous Cuddle Therapy

(Link)
While I was gawking at these pictures, the latest cat in my house, Hermione, came out and smoothed her side fur against my shins. She's a very sweet cat, but we got her after somebody else had managed to (accidentally and stupidly, we believe) train her to bite at hands. It took a month or so of carefully unthreatening stroking to get her to (mostly) stop it.

I think that you are very lucky, as are all of the cats, to have found another family to share your lives with. They look spectacular: I was impressed by the size of Miles's tail on the CCC webpage. I believe that a strong and well stimulated tail on a kitten is a key to intelligence and a adaptability in an adult cat.

It's great to rear them from kittens, because they don't have to learn neurotic tendencies like biting. On the other hand, I have to balance the months of bite marks from Hermione with a year of landing and take-off gouges from Fred and George when they were that size...

Ha! Ekaterin is already a biter. I've pulled her off the laptop charger cord a dozen times already. Must remember to pick up spray bottle tomorrow.

A rub with orange peel is said to be pretty good too.

My Schroeder kitten had a thing about biting my laptop cords. He was awfully quick and sneaky about it. I was scared for him so I went to Radio Shack and bought the flexible plastic tubing that fits around electric cords.

Spirit, of course, has compulsive and anxiety disorders and yours clearly don't, but we used three months of Buspar to get her to stop trying to electrocute herself.

I heartily approve of kitten therapy, anyway. :-)

The last but one is obviously auditioning for Lolcat of the year! Needs a caption...

Ah! So wee and lovely. Mum looks tired, but relaxed in her new home. Congratulations again. Keep up the photos. Milo has become a big cat now (well, a wee big cat, but not a kitten anymore), so it's wonderful to see the small cuteness.

The kittens are cute (it is their stock-in-trade, after all) but Mom is gorgeous - what a wonderful coat.

Hi

(Link)
I popped over from The_Bastion. The kittens are adorable and mom is pretty good looking, too. All 4 of mine are rescues. There's pics of 3 of them in the yahoo photo album. I need to replace my lost camera so I can take new pictures of all of them.

Every cat either of us has ever had either separately or together has been a rescue. This time I decided to go for purebreed.

At rec.music.filk, sffilk@bellsouth.net has asked:
someone please send
the following URL to Jordin Kare - it's a translation of "Fire in the Sky" into Hebrew.
and the URL is http://community.livejournal.com/israfilk/43457.html#cutid1

I put this on a not-of-the-newest post because it seemed like the thing to do. Anyway, he may already have it from someone else by now.
