See how they grow

I haven’t said much about kittens lately. Actually, I haven’t said much at all relying mostly on my delicio.us links to pretend I’m actually blogging. I still have all of the kittens. The highly destructive phase continues. But at least it’s fun to watch.  Even when they are climbing the door jam. How big are they now? Let’s compare:

They grow so fast! More pics in the flickr account.

What. The. Hell???

What is wrong with my animals? I’m sitting here on the couch watching Possum and Tak. Possum is sniffing Tak’s butt. That’s a pretty normal animal thing. Then she bites Tak. On the asshole. And not in an “I’m mad at you” or “I’m playing” sort of way. Like she just wanted to take a bite of it. Tak wasn’t at all happy about that, for obvious reasons. Seriously, what the hell?

Introducing the Kittens

Okay, this is what I’ve been doing instead of packing. Hey, there’s plenty of time! This one was taken with the built-in iSight on my MacBook. I don’t know what that noise is all about. I tried removing in iMovie but didn’t have much luck with that. I found a setting under the Sound system preferences that reduces background noise. I’ve picked that option and we’ll see if future ones are better. I thought I’d hate videos with me in them so much that I’d never post, but I actually don’t mind it that much. Even though my eyes are all puffy from taking a nap.

Possum & Tak Playing

I was all excited when I saw a feature in youtube that would apparently automatically post videos that you upload to your blog. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to actually work. That’s okay, embedding will.

The point of all this is that I’m taking my laptop to Israel and thought it would be cool to post videos as well. This is the first of my tests. This video was taken with my digital camera. This is Tak & Possum playing. Tak occasionally tries to play with Possum, but mostly I think she’s afraid of her. Must be the sharp bits she’s concerned about, even though Possum is just smacking her with her paw these days.

Crazy kittens

Well, they aren’t at their nuttiest here, but I did promise some kitten video.  [4.4MB .mov] Again, sorry it’s so craptacular. I’m not sure why they love playing on the ramp for the litter box. I know the smaller ones like to dive under the ramp. The big one doesn’t fit. I tried to induce some halloween cat without luck. Even with Tak standing there looking all scary. Oh yeah, and more pics in the flickr account too.
