Kittens play like a mix of baby goat and super predator.

Lol yeah. And the preview is just superb.
Kittens have two speeds: on, and off. They switch between modes without warning.

If only we could harness kitten energy we could power the whole world and stop climate change.

Uhh…1983 is “vintage” now?

1983 – right??? It’s really hard to keep your cool when one of your 20-year-old students tells you they like “the oldies.” “You know, like, Nirvana and Pearljam? Do you know them?”

My poor little Gen-X heart can’t take it.

I used to tell my college students that if they made me feel old, they’d lose 10 points for the day!

How about 1956 being “ancient”? That one is even more outrageous. (#18). Incidentally, in 1956, “Indochina” had become “Vietnam.” Somebody gets an F in history, geography, and tact.

Kitty’s face seems to be saying, “Ancient? What are you talking about?”
taraJanuary 31, 2025 / 9:51 am
Ha ha! π Thank you all for feeling my pain and making me laugh!

No, no, no to Vintage. I would have identified these pics as Classic.
To be vintage they have to be more than 100 yrs old.

I’ve reached an age where I see 1983 and instantly think “ooh, about twenty years ago”.
Ricky & Bibi's MomJanuary 31, 2025 / 12:08 pm
In my personal lexicon, Vintage is 50β100 years old, Antique is 100 years old or more. Ancient is trickier, but I tend to think of it as BCE.
And Retro is reproduction old-style stuff. If it is a reproduction, it is not Vintage. Unless maybe it is a reproduction made at least 50 years ago.
My brain, my rules β¦
I would have identified the pictures as “found, B/W”!

Bouncy kitties!!!!! squeeeeeee! Just what I needed this morning. (happy sigh)
6rabbits.January 31, 2025 / 9:33 am
Spring-loaded kitties? So much hopping and leaping!
debgJanuary 31, 2025 / 9:38 am
Love those energetic kitties. I also love the part where they suddenly run out of gas and sleep like the dead.

I have seen real field mice in flowers like these. I like the sideways mouse pics, but most would look better as wild mice, brown or gray, IMHO.
6rabbits.January 31, 2025 / 10:22 am
Just gonna leave this here.
(Waits for fainting sounds)
debgJanuary 31, 2025 / 10:35 am
Yeah, that little one is going to be a “mischief managed” kind of cat.
debgJanuary 31, 2025 / 10:44 am
Love the “classic” photos, especially when it’s a celebrity. I’ve never seen Steve Martin without white hair!
I feel your pain. I turned 60 back in Nov 2024. I look in the mirror and go what the h*** happened? And I still remember Steve Martin doing Wild & Crazy Guy on Saturday Night Live the first time around.
The last 12 months have wreaked havoc. I barely recognize myself!

Iβm one year up on ya all! And I, too, remember Steve Martin on SNL! My Dad liked some of the skits and weβd watch Johnny Carson, The Comedy Club, and SNL. My mom would leave the roomππ
The rampaging kittens!! And they sound like a herd of elephants. How can something so small make so much noise? Mousie art is cute but I agree a brownish mouse would have been more realistic. And this is what I aspire to in my old age – a book, a cat and a comfy chair, just heaven!

Replace cat with a fluffy bun, and thatβs me!π

Hah! And I remember watching him on SNL, originals NOT reruns, back in the early 80s!
I BOUGHT the ** 45 *** of his King Tut song.
Now get off my lawn!!

As someone who turned 60 last week, I resemble these remarks!
Belated happy birthday! I reach that milestone in September.
Thanks, DebG!
Happy belated birthday kid.
Thank you, Georgiana!
