Love the stark raven ones and Maybe is as cute as ever. I do hope you don't have long curtains, my old cat ripped mine to pieces and then ran long the pelmet at the top of the windows. Maybe looks like that kind of cat!
Well, Maybe will mellow out as she gets older. There's a lot of things she's doing now because she's a kitten. Some of them she'll keep doing as an adult, and others she won't.
Moet did a lot of stupid shit as a kitten. Though he was not nearly as reckless nor as inventive as Maybe. Maybe is like the Obama or Bob the Builder of the feline world. 'Yes we can!'
Thank you! You should see me when I get raven photos. I'm always saying 'stay there brother raven, please stay there brother raven!' after about three years of putting on the right lens, running outside, only to see him fly away.
As it turns out, me begging him to stay seems to work. And then I get (90) shots like that. :D
The kitty picture is awesome - if only for Moet's expression. It's curious how hyper Maybe is. I've had kittens in the past and they were never quite like this. :3
She is GO GO GO and then sleep for a little while and then GO GO GO.
She gets at least an hour of one on one play time with me each day (Moet gets one on one time too, but he doesn't need as much concerted play), and then spends a great deal of the rest of her play time with Moet, until he grouches at her, and then she spends the rest figuring out ways to kill plants and break the house and climb the fridge and chew on wires.
We're actually teaching her how to settle at the moment. And if she can do it by my feet, she'll settle very well. Sometimes.
I've never met a kitten quite like her either! She seems to be very energetic, very smart, high prey drive. If she is actually a bengal cross, like the vet suspects, it would make sense.
She's heaps of fun though. She makes me laugh every day. :)
Heh. I love all the raven photos, but the last in particular -- that's large print-on-wall quality as far as I'm concerned. Very stunning! And the first photo of Maybe is great. "This is how to maneuver a vertical!" with Moet looking on with a "Why... never mind..." expression. :D
Not just curtains, but that wallpaper that has raised designed and is slightly squishy. Not a good thing to have with a climbing cat. As my mum discovered. Spidercat, yup.
You might want to discourage Maybe from fridge-climbing & playing w/the magnets.
Magnets kill dogs, cats & kids almost as fast as batteries. One magnet might not be a problem, but two... if they attached to one another through different parts of her stomach or intestine, it's a bad thing. I found out some surprising things about carnivore digestion when Chelsie swallowed the needle. Even though they have short digestive tracts, food and swallowed objects can remain in a dog or cat's stomach for weeks, even months, before they cause a problem.
They're fun photos, but I cringe every time I see this - or ones on lolcat sites featuring dogs & cats drinking out of coffee cups or eating chocolate candy wrappers.
I move the magnets down specifically for these photos, but the rest of the time even when she's hooked on the fridge, she can't reach them (and doesn't try if they're too high up).
Even when they are in her reach, she usually can't stay up long enough to get them down (for example, she's aiming for the yellow/orange in those photos, and she was completely unsuccessful; they've been moved since).
So far, she's shown no sign of wanting to eat or chew on the magnet (she wants the rubber silicone instead, which is about just as uncool).
On the flipside, we brought her a fresh cat toy yesterday and she's already torn it apart and I'm finding little bits of red rubber everywhere that I have to pick up and put in the bin!
Yeah she does stuff Moet NEVER did. I've removed that toy and given her a different one. I've contemplated that she may be an ocicat cross instead of a bengal cross (just in terms of appearance and temperament), but both have high, dog-like energy drives.

Maybe is going to be a menace though...I mean, she already is, but she's going to be more of a menace. I pity poor Moet...I pity us too though.

This is perfect. Having enjoyed the companionship of a siamese, I fully understand the 'Yes we can!' philosophy.

I love the name 'nightingale' though. It's one of my favourite words.

And the Attached to the Land pieces are beautiful.

We let the dog play with balloons, but only when we're both around to take the strings & ribbons away from her.
