Arthur's latest conquest - the cat tree!

Of course, he can get UP to that platform, but can't get down. So Madoc thoughtfully jumped up on the tree and KNOCKED him down

Sounds like Madoc senses that Arthur will be staying. wnylib May 2022 #5

He's such a sweet looking kitten. Sounds like the babies are learning to work their claws.

Now all of the kittens are crawling up to that first platform, and Madoc is just fine with it.

And Madoc has started allogrooming them. Mostly Arthur but I've picked up a couple of other damp kittens.

Gryff is more interested in playing but he does a little grooming, too.

Or maybe they are just kindred spirit siblings.

Four kittens and two kitcats - quite a lot of energy being expended, right now. Two more weeks and life will get simpler but MUCH less fun.

Arthur's kitten antics will be entertaining for several more months, especially when he is spending all his time with Madoc and Gryff. I think the 3 of them have some fun times ahead.

And there are still the ferals to feed. Maybe you will be able to trap Spooky before she can have another litter.
