Black Doggerel

Kittens are 58 days old now. I really need to start seeing about vaccinations and stuff, don't I?

( In which Callette and Squish play hide and seek, Shona and I play pat-a-cake and Elda falls asleep in everyone's way yet avoids getting stepped on. Ten pictures. )

Blade is around somewhere but he is a. antisocial and b. invisible. He's the only kitten I haven't managed to play with yet. He's not scared, just not very interested. He does play with the other kittens, but not as much as the other three do. He's inclined to be off by himself somewhere. If Shona's a pirate (and she is), Blade is a ninja. A disappearing fast-moving silver tabby ninja.

What the hell am I going to do when my cat-door bodge-job can no longer keep the kittens in the bedroom? I really don't think they're big enough to be allowed permanent run of the whole flat in amongst the dogs. Spike and Squish are both cat-friendly and all that but they're also bouncy, excitable and much much bigger than little fragile cattens. I've just had to add another layer of VHS cassettes to the stack blocking the gap because Shona managed to climb it.

Any suggestions?

Incidentally, Cassie has stopped beating Spike up just for being near the kittens, though she still watches him like a hawk. I guess he's proved to her that he can be trusted.
