Lab Safety vs. Superpowers

In an MIT laboratory, there is rumored to be a sign:

Warning: Do not look into
laser with remaining eye.

Then there is the attitude of the Domestic Panthers:

To hell with Lab Safety;
we want Superpowers!

And of course, they are willing to work for it. For example, here is Midnight, up where (he thinks) he belongs.

However, Whitey demonstrated nearly 12 years ago what happens when you try to squeeze around the speaker.

Now on one hand, Whitey weighed 12 pounds versus Midnight's 7.  On the other hand, Midnight is still growing.

We're not sure this will end well.

Apple A Day … (or that is a A kitty Treat …)

 The Micro Panthers went to the vet for their initial Kitten Wellness visit today.

Photo Friday: Turbo Ball Users (TNG)

All the cats who been long-term residents of the Kitten Farm have loved Turbo Balls. 

Now we have two new users.

Catzillas TNG

Oh my.

We just weighed the Panthers for second time, giving our first week to week comparison.

  • Lucas is up to 6 lbs, 8 oz (He was 6 lbs 2 oz last week.)
  • Midnight is up to 6 lbs, 11 oz.  (He was 6 lb 1 oz last week).
Neither are flabby.

I've been calling them Micro Panthers this week.  I may need to go back to Domestic Panthers, because I'm not sure they're gonna be "Micro" much longer.

Go! Go! Catzilla!

Problem Officer?

 How does one explain to a kitten that’s a very dangerous place for a tail?

Worthy Investment

One smart thing we did for the Domestic Panthers through arrived last month was junk the warn, big cat trees, and get new ones. Six foot cat trees are not cheap, and we got five of them. The only big one we kept with the newer front hall tree (below). 

Given the boys have been daily occupants of all six trees, it was an investment well spent.

Back to our roots …

Have we mentioned how delighted we are that we went back to our roots, adopting a bonded pair of kittens. It's refreshing after over 10 years of of a border war is between Penwiper, Oscar and their housemates.

Quietly playing on the lower stairs. We love it.
