    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?”

      • tara January 31, 2025 / 9:51 am

        Ha ha! 🙂 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.

      • Alice Shortcake January 31, 2025 / 11:12 am

        I’ve reached an age where I see 1983 and instantly think “ooh, about twenty years ago”.

      • Ricky & Bibi's Mom January 31, 2025 / 12:08 pm

        In my personal lexicon, Vintage is 50–100 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 …

        I would have identified the pictures as “found, B/W”!

    Bouncy kitties!!!!! squeeeeeee! Just what I needed this morning. (happy sigh)

  5. 6rabbits. January 31, 2025 / 9:33 am

    Spring-loaded kitties? So much hopping and leaping!

  6. debg January 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.

    Just gonna leave this here.

    (Waits for fainting sounds)

    • debg January 31, 2025 / 10:35 am

      Yeah, that little one is going to be a “mischief managed” kind of cat.

  9. debg January 31, 2025 / 10:44 am

    Love the “classic” photos, especially when it’s a celebrity. I’ve never seen Steve Martin without white hair!

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom January 31, 2025 / 12:10 pm

      Um, DebG? You lose 10 points for the day.

      😉
