Okay, I’m sure all of you remember the PuppyCam that had so many of us glued to our screens watching the adorable and occasionally shockingly inappropriate antics of a batch of six Shiba Inu puppies. Well, fellow Dopers, I give you [The Kitty Cam!](http://www.ustream.tv/channel/kitty-cam-2) Unfortunately, it looks like I found this a bit late in the game – today (Wednesday) is the last day for Kitty Cam, before they’ll be carted off to get ready for adoption. Which I suppose is 🙂 for the kitties, but ☹ for us. On the plus side, the person or group responsible for the kitty cam will apparently be hosting more live cams of adorable shelter animals, so that’s something to watch for, at least. In the meantime, I assume that everybody’s plans of getting anything productive done today are shot. No no, no need to thank me for bringing this to your attention! 😃 I think there are seven of those adorable little scamps in there, or at least that’s what it says. It’s always hard to count cats, especially when they’re in a container. ---

Pretty cute, but is the owner of the camera a little defective? Why did he put the cat tree right in front of the freekin’ lens? ---

> [@Kalhoun](#): > > Pretty cute, but is the owner of the camera a little defective? Why did he put the cat tree right in front of the freekin’ lens? It’s good; there was some no-holds-barred, king-of-the-hill action going on. I’ve seen five, but is one from a different litter? There’s a tabby that took a long time to show up; he seems smaller and like he doesn’t want to mix it up with the big boys. ---

These new guys are pretty darned cute, though. I think we’re going to need more pictures of Ronon to really make the call. 😃 > [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > The calico was on top of the scratching post, facing slightly stage left, then sat up on his hind legs. That may have been the cutest thing in the history of the universe. Was it shortly followed by another kitteh taking possession of the summit with a well-placed tackle? There are a couple of them who seem to _love_ fighting for dominance of the scratching post. …When they’re awake anyway. It seems they’re all sleeping now. ---

Awwww. They’re all playing outside the pen now with a lady from the animal shelter. OMG kitty closeup! 😃 ETA: Uh oh, looks like the cam broadcast just exploded. Obviously the kitten closeup was just too much for it to handle. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omg-live-kitten-cam/484394.md?page=2)
