Not self-indulgent at all Kiwi. They are adorable and brightened my day. You must be having so much fun with them!

They are quite lovely now, Kiwi. Are they knocking about your chess pieces yet?

Yes mrsD, sometimes when they are rushing about like mad things they will land on the chessboard with a thump, scattering the pieces far and wide. <Sigh>.
In the last week or so they have both decided that sleeping on this laptop is a good plan. Sometimes they turn it off because they are on top of the CPU cooling vent. Other times they manage to disconnect my in-house WiFi network, other times they manage to open random applications - Word and Excel seem to be their favourites. <Mutters>.

Blackberry and Waiwaiaa are doing well, though they are not impressed by the weather (neither am I); over the last month 35+ C/100% humidity has not been fun.
Maybe because of this they both got infested with fleas. Waiwaiaa scratched herself to the extent of exposing bare flesh on both sides of her neck . . Initially I tried my flea comb which was at best a holding operation. The vet nurse recommended a product which she assured me was both safe and effective. I dislike unnecessary medication in both cats and people so wanted to know more. She gave me a pamphlet. It looks OK; the active ingredient specifically inactivates insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors so I gave it a try. It seems to have worked; investigative use of my flea comb has shown no new fleas and new fur is growing on Waiwaiaa's neck lesions . .

Kiwi,
I'm glad the kittens are doing better. Kitties seem prone to a flea induced dermatitis which is just miserable. It's good the medication is working.

With the arrival of cooler weather my kittens have become much more active.
Recently a couple of my colony of Brush Turkeys had a free and frank exchange of views, leaving behind two large tail feathers. I brought the feathers inside for Waiwaiaa and Blackberry to have a look at. They are the best thing ever for them both - they spend ages chasing them round the kitchen. The feathers have become distinctly moth-eaten (cat-eaten?) but this does not stop the kittens having fun with them . .

Now that it is technically winter the kittens have got very hungry. They are now on breakfast, morning tea, afternoon tea and dinner - I think that I may be one of the vet's best customers for posh food (Young Desexed Female
. ). They burn it off by rushing about chasing each other, the Brush Turkey feathers and ping-pong balls (I have had to lay in a stock of the latter because they keep on losing them . ). Apart from that I have a feral mouse inside which comes out at night - it tends to dive into a container of plastic bags, making loud rustling noises. It is Blackberry's first port of call when I let them out of the laundry in the morning - she sniffs it suspiciously . .

Sounds like your kitties have a real playground, with all the things they can get into.
