Welcome Whimsical Wiggles!

in ,

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

DJ made a cheat-sheet!

There’s one more post in our five-part art series, but not today. Also, don’t forget about KA-Con 3!

Today we give our official welcome to Whimsy and her five wiggly kittens! Whimsy is our first cat brought to us through our new shelter, the Danbury Animal Welfare Society. They are completely awesome and you should check them out!

As you know, Whimsy has been fighting off a bit of an upper respiratory infection. She’s still sneezing a bit but otherwise it seems like she’s feeling much better lately! She’s been eating and drinking on her own again and we’re continuing her treatments of antivirals and antibiotics until she’s completely well.

Her five little kittens seem super healthy so far! Here they are:


Fidget - Female - Torbie

Flip - Female - Dilute Tortie?

Twist - Female - Tabby

Cartwheel - Male - Tabby

Twiddle - Male - Tabby

Whimsy - Momcat

It can be difficult to tell Twist and Cartwheel apart on the stream. Twist has a bold white ring on her back right leg, and also a white neck under her chin. Cartwheel doesn’t - so that’s an easy way to tell who is who if those parts are visible. When they get big enough, we may consider collars to help differentiate them.

Here’s all the rest of the photoshoot!

Tantrums Graduation!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

The Tantrums got picked up by their adopters today, at OAW. TnT will get picked up on the 22nd. Huge thanks to Cari for seeing them through to graduation while we were busy moving to Connecticut!

We took Whimsy to the vet (again) this morning and have changed her antibiotic, given anti-nausea, fluids, and a little something to make it easier for her to eat. We think she’ll be back on track soon.

Meanwhile, here’s some graduation photos we took before we left Illinois!

Kerfuffle

Rumpus

Hubbub

Tempest

Teacup

And here’s all the rest!

Take Another Little Piece of my Art!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

It’s an exciting day! As we write this, we’re streaming live from Connecticut for the first time. It’s a bit poor quality due to the temporary wireless setup, but we’ll be working on resolving that over the next few days and also Cari will be streaming the Tantrums from Illinois most of the time - until Friday, when we intend to take over full time again.

We expect our new momcat to arrive today!

Meanwhile - some additional arts! Part four in our five-part art retrospectacle!

Home is Where the Art Is!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

We got word that DAWS has found a new pregnant momcat to be our first momcat in Connecticut! We expect her to arrive on Wednesday. We’ll definitely share video of her right away, but we may not get her on the regular stream until later in the week. More on that later - !

Meanwhile, here’s the third installment of the art retrospective!

Wherefore Art Thou?

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

These aren’t all going to be Shakespeare puns, I promise!

Anyhow, we’ll keep this brief! Just a quick reminder that KA-Con 3 tickets are for sale here. We don’t plan to make any money at KA-Con - the ticket sales are entirely to pay for the venue and events. We’ll let Dr. Bru tell you all about it here. We’d really like to see all of you there so we’ll keep talking about it in future blog posts!

Meanwhile, here’s some more fantastic art from the past! (Isn’t all art from the past? We want to see art from the future!) If you have some art to share, please tweet it at us, or email it to headmaster@kitten.academy, or if you’re on our Discord for Patreons, you know what to do!


Arting is such Sweet Sorrow!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

We’ve arrived in Connecticat and we’re working hard on getting things in order for the Academy out here. The faculty were pretty calm for the trip - especially on the second day. They all seem to be enjoying the new house, although it’s still very empty until all our stuff arrives in a week or two.

Meanwhile, Jay and Syl have worked to put together a series of five blog posts that showcase some of the art that Kitten Academy viewers have made! We absolutely love how talented and creative these artists are and we hope these posts inspire some of you to create your own KA-themed art!
