Kittens Need Table Manners

kittens

Who can resist the cuteness that is a kitten? My mother is currently fostering 5 kittens for a volunteer feral cat charity and it's a real trip to watch them [ try to ] eat. If the pictures about to follow don't make you smile then maybe you need to stick your head back in the clouds for awhile.

After viewing their eating habits for nearly two weeks, I came to the conclusion that the two most failed eaters were Gibbs (buff) and Monkus (ginger). See evidence below.

Kitten Eating
I found Gibbs asleep with a cat food tin on his head one morning. After waking him and seeing his panic, I concluded that he'd wedged himself in well before then and exhausted himself to sleep while trying to get out. The little man was so stuck in that even I had to tug hard to get it off... Fail score: 9 out of 10. Cat would gain the extra point had there actually been food in the tin to begin with.

Kitten Fail
Monkus is the runt of the litter and spent his first weeks being bottle fed by my mother. He is lucky to be alive. His luck does not, however, extend to his ability to comsume food. At least he provides snacks for the others later on, after they wake up from the inevitable post-meal nap. Fail score: 7 out of 10. It fails pretty bad, but it's pretty common so the fail has lost its lustre.

Kitten Fail
Monkus demands dinner, regardless of its form. Fail score: 8 out of 10. Extra points would be awarded if you hooked her lip with your paw, cat.

    Hi,
    Those are great pictures. I am currently fostering 6 kittens from same shelter and they keep me laughing most of the day with their antics. I am trying to fold laundry right now with their help. They are unfolding things faster than I can fold them.

    Monkus is too cute. I was lol. Recently lost my 4.5 year old tuxedo cat, yy. I bottle fed him from 2 days of age. Having him go has been heart breaking beyond belief. He had very good feeding habits despite the fact that he insisted on being on the counters. We miss him!!!

Think Like a Vegan

A thoughtful read for long time vegans and nonvegans alike, this is one of the best styles of arguing for and discussing veganism I have yet to find.
