My coffee is like luke warm. I think I put too much cream in it. Tastes okay, just not hot. The good thing is that it doesn’t take as long to drink when it’s not hot. 🙂

The kittens are now officially a handful. Imagine 5 hyper little kittens running all around your house. The hardest part is making sure they all stay out of trouble. Even when you think a room is kitten proof they’ll find something!! In our upstairs hallway we have an old hollowed out tree, I should just post a picture instead of trying to describe the thing. Here it is:

As a matter of fact that’s how the hallway still looks, with the cat waterer, food bowl and food canister next to the tree. Inside the tree though, there are a bunch of little miniatures set up, again a picture is better to describe it:

None of the other cats ever pay this any attention but ALL the kittens want to do nothing but get inside and bat the little miniatures around. lol So I took all that stuff out and put it into a tub for now. Now the kittens go inside the tree from the front and come out over by the waterer, usually stopping to take a drink before going back in again. They LOVE the tree. It’s their new favorite thing “toy” in the hallway.

They’re also starting to demand more attention. They still spend most of their time in their room. Last night before bed I opened their door to let Sophie out into the whole house for the night and when I turned off the light and shut the door all the kittens started meowing. They wanted attention, so I opened the door back up and went into their room for a bit. Hubby hung out in the doorway. I ended up laying down on the floor with kitten 1 & 2 until they were both asleep. Kittens 4 and 5 went to sleep too on their own and hubby wore kitten 3 out. When they all went to sleep we turned off the light, shut the door, and went to bed. They’re too cute. I really hope they’ll get enough attention while we’re on vacation. Our other cats have never seemed attention starved when we get home. They always seem pretty content.

I need to type up a sheet for our neighbors while we’re gone. We always give them verbal instructions and leave a sheet of instructions behind in case they forget anything. It’s easy to forget something with all our animals.

Anyway, I don’t have much else to talk about, my life is pretty much, work, kittens, work, kittens, right now. Later. 🙂
