I love you for this Cosby reference. Thank you 🙂

(Unless I am mistaken, then I’ll back out of the room blushing and uncomfortable. Probably trip over the threshold and draw even more attention to myself. It’s Cosby, before he was angry, right?)  
Good Lord those are cute babies, **needscoffee**. Thank you for sharing and fostering!

That’s no excuse. Get moving on the video NOW.

(ETA: That’s assuming the kitteh was having fun, of course.)

I think it’s safe to say the kitten was not having fun.

Coming up. The kittens are complete wild banshees right now. I can’t walk into the bedroom without several of them shooting out the door around my ankles. I’m going to have to sneak in while they’re asleep in order to get a picture that’s not just a blur.

It sounds like it’s time for a streaming video feed. If you could charge subscribers you’d be able to retire!

Okay, I have uploaded a ridiculous number of videos to [here](http://www.youtube.com/user/mrgusterdude#p/u). Most are a little too long and #12 and #13 are pretty much the same, but there’s some cute in all of them. Watch them in numerical order. #18 is my favorite.

That is a thermonuclear level of cute there.

I need insulin for all the sweetness in that video.

And I also need a kitten. As they say,

Cats are fuzzy,  
cats are fun.  
I think I need  
another one!

18 is the bomb. Tortie gets fierce on a toy, while in the background a drama involving the cat tower unfolds.

Squeeeee!

With a little bit of my favorite “I bite your head” action.

Chewy is so darned adorable. My felines, upon hearing the kitten mewls, had to come watch with me. I asked them if we could bring another kitten home - Dot farted. I guess that’s a no.

One thing that struck me about the videos (especially the segments involving the cat tower) was how quickly they master the “I meant to do that” body language.

Well, the kittens go in to get tutored on Monday, then we’ll only have them for a couple more days while they heal. My daughters are clamoring for us to adopt the fluffy orange cat, Fluffy, who has grown into the most adorable of all of them. Chewy has become a scaredy-cat, but the other 3 are pretty fun. We already have 2 cats about 9 years old, and I don’t really want another one. Plus, we won’t have another kitten playmate for it, and I’m definitely not adopting 2. Sigh.
