Attack of the kitten parade

These kitties are becoming more mobile by the hour. I can't believe how fast they are growing! I'm mostly glad about this for 2 reasons: 1-they are learning to poop in one spot and it's not on each other anymore and 2- they are starting to play and I don't know how many more times I can say "That's the cutest thing I've ever seen." A wobbly kitten trying to paw at it's sibling? Roll on it's back, exposing it's round, fuzzy tummy and batting at my fingers? Gray, stripey runt jumping-yes jumping, all four tiny feet off the ground, in midair at nothing? DAHH!!! I want to keel over from cuteness overload. I have introduced the litter box and they are pretty good at it, it's so much easier to pick up a pee filled clump than mop up a newspaper covered floor. The poop is becoming more contained and I love that.
Yesterday at noon feed time, James unlatched the crate and they all came spilling out into the hall! I haven't seen them move that fast yet and it was adorable, especially when it looked like they were following Pepper out of the room like little quails! I have yet to capture the fullness of this sight, they are so fast and make most of the pictures blurry-but I will try until I get it, because seeing it will make your day a better place. Misto is not thrilled about the kittens' migration, she watched one today with curious disgust as it came closer to her until the two were inches away and she hissed and ran off. I think she will wear down eventually and hopefully have some little playmates for a time.

hooray for the litter box! they don't cover up yet-but I'll take what I can get.

yes, the kitten is holding on to Pepper's face.
yes, the kitten is trying to bite Pepper's cheek. I know... I know...
she's as small as she looks.

the full parade never happened today, but this is a start
they turned around found the bathroom
play time!


gray girl is definitely the feistiest so far and the runt of course.
