we're not really trying

Not really trying to get too attached to the kittens that are left. Over the weekend, I managed to unload four of them (Emmitt being among them, *sigh*).

The three that are left have taken to climbing all over the adults of the house (they smartly avoid the kids). If we're watching TV on the couch, they're laying on us or climbing our legs or chewing our hair.

Tonight we're in the office and they're pretty much terrorizing me. My desk, of course, is trashed as it is, but they're having a field day chewing the various chords, attacking my hands as I type, batting earbuds around, etc.

One seems to have taken a special liking to Brian. The minute Brian is still, one of the black ones is up his legs like he's a tree and inspecting his lap for a place to snooze. Tonight, since B was at the desk, his lap was buried under the keyboard, so Nugget (we're not really trying to name them, either, but somehow this one has become "Poop Nugget," or Nugget for short--don't ask me what's wrong with us) had to find a non-lap spot for his nap.

Ahem.

In case you're wondering, the temporary names of the others left are Twimmitt (for Emmitt's twin--he doesn't have the 'M' though) and Muttley (the other black one).

They're still up for grabs, people. And you *don't* have to use the names we've given them, of course.
