Callie and the ear-wiggle

It's the lawyer here...

Josie's furry little minions are growing by the day.  This is most evident by the fact that when we first got them, and we opened the bathroom door, they would crawl slowly in its general direction.  Nowadays when we open the bathroom door, there is an immediate Insane Kitten Derby™ and four fluffy little nuisances go rocketing into the hallway at Mach 5.  My other half has started cheating and positions a fabric carry case with one end unzipped outside the door, so the kittens end up in the cage instead of at large in the house.  It's just not the same without a double handful of squirming kittens all sooking for their feeding.

On the topic of feeding, Miss Callie is feeling much better these days and seems to have bounced back from the flu fairly well.  Last night we attempted to capture for posterity one of her cute little idiosyncrasies - when she's feeding from the bottle, and gets the position of the nipple and her head just right, she'll stay almost motionless and just keep sucking, except that her fluffy little ears will twitch back and forth with every suck.  So cute!  Of course, being a cat, she knows when there is a camera pointed at her so she mostly refused to cooperate.  Nevertheless, if you look closely from about 38 seconds in to 41 seconds in, you can see her briefly doing it.  Behold the cuteness!

Also for your enjoyment, we have a video of last night's weigh-in.  Yes, I am aware my hand was blocking the shot.  It was also blocking the kitten from escaping the bowl.  So it was either a shot of my hand, or a shot of an escaping kitten.
