We Iz 'Splorin'!

Yes, our babies are now climbing and exploring! Here are some shots of them, under the bed, on the crushed (that's a story for another day) S shaped scratcher, which is up next to the green cat bed. Venturing out from under the bed, they've discovered the "cave" under the cardboard scratcher.

Mama continues to relax and now watches the proceedings when I'm there with eyes at half mast. Several times she's moved to go eat while I'm there but seems to stop herself. That's OK... at least she's thinking about it. No progress on the weaning... everyone is still completely uninterested in the milk substitute. Ah, well, that will come when they're ready.

After weigh in, Oliver toddled right back under the bed and promptly disappeared. Then I saw a small movement from the corner of my eye:

Yep, he had scaled the S and was perched on top. In the meantime, siblings all piled in the green boat.

Am I an intrepid explorer or what?

Why is it you don't notice how full of kitteh hair something is until you take a picture of it?? LOL!

Venturing on to the rim of the green boat, carefully observed by Gia.

Gia: I want in on this too!!

This one turned out blurry but I just love the look on this little mug!

So, after dismount, there was a beeline for the scratcher...

... and the surprise when I uploaded the pics was that Gia had beaten him to it!

Miska and Lessa stayed cuddled up in the green boat - also a surprise since Lessa is our big explorer. She's usually the one to be found far from the maddening crowd.

On the Tang front, it was less peaceful today. More hissing and growling than yesterday evening. Poor Tang, he clearly just wants to get to know everyone. But no blows, of which I am aware, so that's good.

And since most of you will be reading this tomorrow... Happy Easter everyone!!
