Kittens!

At the risk of getting my blog all sticky with sweetness, I'd like to introduce my favorite new citizens of the planet, who live with my lucky friend Kenneth (aka "Puma"):

These bemittened muppets were born just over a month ago. They're wobbly and nearly microscopic, and thus hard to photograph, but I think you can get the gist.

Their mother, Kiwi (aka "Shoebacca"), is an Amazon of Cuteness herself, as proven by her high ranking in Kittenwar ("May the cutest kitten win!"). You can see her stats (and baby pic) here. The kittens' teenage siblings--Madeleine, Pillow, and Carrottop--have had equally impressive military careers.
