RE: OT - how are everyone's new babies doing?

Oh yes, my two assume that everything in the house is made of the fuzzy
side of Velcro and they have the hooks. I've had kittens leap onto my
back while I'm blow drying my hair, cleaning the litter box, tying my
shoelaces, the list goes on. The other day I was standing next to the
couch when one of them took off from the floor near the window - hit the
coffee table, bounced to the back of the couch, and splat onto my chest.
She covered about 20 feet in half a second, and it was pure reflex that
let me grab her when she hit so she didn't manage to puncture me much.
I'll actually be a little sad when they grow up, they are too cute now
even with claws and all.

And Zem, how is Percy adapting to his new 3 legged state?  My kitten
Little
Bit hasn't learned "no hooks" yet.  I'll be glad when she does.  I was
cleaning the litter box the other day and was bent over scooping.  She
decided she wanted my attention at that exact second so she jumped up
and
planted both sets of front claws in my backside.  She took off running
when
I yelped, so MAYBE we won't do that again.  Believe or not, I managed to
not
drop the scoop.  Lord knows how.  I will be very happy when she grows
up.
The kitten "thing" is very cute and amusing and all, but there's a lot
to be
said for a cat that is more settled and calm.  I'm just not used to that
level of activity.  Thought you cat people would get a kick out of that
anecdote however.
