Bell's Whistles Update!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

No news today - just photos! Hard to believe the last photos we published of the Whistles here were from their second week. Now they’re in their second month! It’s time for an updated photoshoot!

Don’t forget we’re looking for a “local” adooter for Brook!

Welcome to the Gifts of Gab!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

At approximately 2:30am on Saturday the 4th, Gab delivered her kittens on the beanbag chair in the annex, without any warning to us. As it was so unexpected, we completely missed the birth, and the consequent destruction of our bean bag chair. It’s the first delivery that we’ve missed in four years - we also missed the delivery of Hazel’s kittens, our very first momcat. We’ll be taking steps to help prevent that from happening again!

When we got up and discovered the kittens, we moved them all to the box, where they’ve been since. And we threw out the bean bag chair.

On their fifth day, we had a little photoshoot so we can share their photos with you! We’re not labeling these photos with genders like we normally do because we’re still not completely certain!

If you were expecting additional kittens, there’s an explanation here, but it may be sad.

By the way - don’t forget about the amazing art posted so far this month on the #KAArtsyApril2020 hashtag… it’s all fantastic!

Arty Party!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

Our very own mysterious Banksyl has arranged a new “art challenge” for April with a different prompt for each day. If you’ve never tried this before, all you do is draw (or paint, or digitize, or knit, or sculpt, or whatever strikes your fancy) anything that comes to mind based on the day’s prompt. Here’s the list:

In order to fully participate, you’ll want to post your results on Twitter with the hashtag #KAArtsyApril2020 — That way it’s easy for Syl to hunt down all the participants and pick out some of her favorites for a future post here.

On that note, she also made an art challenge in January and quite a lot of you articipated! Here’s a few of Syl’s picks from the JanuArty challenge. Thanks for playing along and we’ll be back with more photos of kittens soon!
