Mama is PLAYING and the kittens are BAFFLED. They didn't know she could do that!

Yes, the one with all the cats. Love-and-hisses.com
Remember when we thought they were NEVER going to leave that corner? Now they're everywhere!
The doctor says I’ve gotta cut back, so I’ll just take the one cup, thanks. (The mug is very large – 64 ounces – so Cassandra IS actually sitting in that mug. The only photoshopping I’ve done is to remove “coffee” and put “Cassandra” in its place.)
It's not a true "line 'em up" picture, but you can see all of their faces, so it's a start! From left: Zeus, Pandora, Cassandra, Zephyr and Daphne.
The milk bar fights back! Calliope says "Not right now, kids. I'm not in the mood for this!"
"We is tryin' to nap here, lady." From left: Pandora, Daphne, Zeus (back), Cassandra and Zephyr.
The kittens had a quiet morning, shaking off the effects of their first vaccinations. They're still playful, just a little more subdued than usual.
It turns out that, like his mama, Zephyr's a bit of a talker. (Picture courtesy of Fred.)
This is where Calliope goes when she wants a few kitten-free moments.
Calliope's like "Can a girl not get a SHORT break without these kittens harassing me?" and Daphne's all "Ooh, lots of seating at the milk bar right now!"
The kittens are playing, and Calliope's got a lot to say. (Yes, I think she's going into heat. I had hoped to get her in for her spay this week, but wasn't able to make that happen. She'll go either next week or the week after - I'm waiting to hear which.)
If you ever wondered what Zeus's belly looks like, here you go!
Calliope was lying in my lap, and then came the milk bar seekers! (The video is shorter than it should be due to my not noticing that I'd hit the "record" button and accidentally ended it sooner than intended!)
The calico girls still fit through the tunnel! (Pandora (top) and Cassandra)
Breakfast is served! (I am using plates for them right now - tried the big chips-and-dip divided plate, but it just confused them. I'll try again in the future.)
Good night innernets. (From left: Zephyr, Cassandra (back), Daphne (front), Pandora, and Zeus.)
Zephyr was ready to put the ol' chomperoo on Zeus, but got distracted by Daphne. (I'm not sure what Daphne was doing, but it certainly had their attention.)
Everyone but Cassandra, in the tunnel. (Clockwise from upper left: Daphne, Pandora, Zephyr and Zeus.) It's almost time to put the scratcher away, they're nearly too big for it!
With Calliope purring in my lap and Zephyr, Cassandra and Pandora off sleeping in the cat tree, Daphne and Zeus get up to some fairly mild shenanigans.
They're 7 weeks old! This week they're all over the room. They've also started purring for me, everyone is eating solid food, and all are doing great! Their weight chart can be seen here: https://tinyurl.com/GCKittens
