Kitties all around me...

Kittens are six months old today!! 

They are still VERY playful and mischievous, and their personalities are shining through more than ever. 

Danger has two modes: on and off.  There is no in-between with her:p  When she's "off", she is so adorable in that if anyone (other cats or humans) interrupt her sleep, she whines and complains!  She still loves playing with receipts, and often attacks walls with great triumph.  She's not a big cuddler, though she enjoys pets and purrs often when wanting attention.  This attention mostly consists of wanting to be played with when she's awake, otherwise known as "on" mode.  She'll purr while playing:)

Danger was whining here, because Fluffy wanted to play.  Hehee!

Yin is turning into a big cuddly purr ball:)  She plays a lot, for sure, but she often comes and snuggles in between us in the evenings while we're watching stuff on TV.  When she's sleepy, or even wide awake, she'll start purring at the slightest touch.  Sometimes, when she's sleeping, I'll go up to her and whisper "I love you" in her ear...and she'll start purring:)

She loves sleeping on my clothes piles...good thing I leave a lot of them around!

Snuggling up:)

Yin and Stitches have come to a compromise recently about sleeping in my laundry basket.  Reminder:  don't leave clean clothes in the basket....

They kittens now have pretty much all of their adult teeth.  I'll be booking their spays soon...I'm leaving very soon for a 25 day excursion to Costa Rica, so will get their surgeries done when I'm back from that trip.  Then I'll have the proper time to see be here for their recovery:)

Fluffy, the "feral", has become quite the little attention diva!  Often she'll come between me and either Stitches or one of the kittens, wanting all the love for herself.  It's been so amazing to see her progression.  Six months ago, I couldn't get near her at all.  Now, we have daily cuddles and I can even brush her!  The other day I was even able to brush her belly:)  We were obviously meant to be together. 

We're a happy kitty household now:)

Feral, what feral?

Stitches and Fluffy cuddling last night.  This is the first time I've seen them so close:)  Fluffy rubs up against Stitches all the time, and they play together...but I've never seen them sleep together like this before! 

My "feral" Fluffy, who only 2 months ago wouldn't let anyone even touch her, snuggling beside me purring madly, even letting me pet her upper belly for the first time ever!  She's found her place with me:) 

The other morning...cleaning themselves and sniffing each other's butts.  A happy little kitty family:)  Stitches is totally an awesome step-dad!

Even though they have access to the whole house, more often then not I will find them all in the kitten room for "afternoon nap time".  I think it's very awesome that the kittens can still sleep in the spots where they were born and raised:)  Full of comfort and love!

Mother - Daughter snuggles and love:)  Danger and Fluffy sharing a moment.  Look how big Danger is now!  They turned 5 months old at the end of September.

Danger has inherited her mother's "why are you taking my picture" look:P  It's uncanny...

They don't even all FIT on here anymore, but they still try!  Sleeping on the little table where they used to nurse when they were 5-7 weeks old:)  Except now I can go up and pet ALL of them!

 

 

 

 

Yin likes to covet paper...WHOLE pieces of paper:p  It's helped keep the place tidy, since any important papers need to be put away!  Danger loves receipts and bus transfers.  Who needs fancy cat toys?  (I still buy them, though...)

Here's a cute one of Danger cleaning Yin, then playing:)  Notice the receipt on the floor behind them...another "toy":p


So, to conclude the post of pictures and videos, Fluffy is no longer an "untouchable" (she's even come out to see house guests if they aren't too loud!), and the kittens are getting huge and their personalities are becoming more defined:)  Yin is a purry cuddler, Danger is a purr machine but prefers to purr beside you or while playing.  Both are super active, and their teeth are almost done changing into adult teeth!  Yin is bolder with coming out to see new people, while Danger (despite her name) is shy with new people.  Though Danger is still the first to leap into trouble!
