I got Oliver and Obi a new toy yesterday. It has light up eyes and makes “life like squeaky noises” which, in all honesty, sound more like laser fire. Why does it light up and make noise? Because, according to the box, cats hunt at night. For giant mousies with laser beam eyes.
Oli and Obi in a pre-Thunder. Cuteness like lightning.
At the end of a long day, sometimes the kittens need some quality time with The Girl. And if The Girl tries to show The Boy a video of Kitten Thunder on the camera, sometimes The Boy decides to make a film instead.
This is, by the way, exactly how Obi chooses to be snuggled – near The Girl, but not being touched in any way. Once in a while he kicks me in the back of the head to let me know he cares.
Kitten Thunder: Life lessons and cat tales 
Nothin’ says “I love you” like a good kick in the head! And I’m glad I’m not the only one to realize we were training our cats to hunt horrible killer-robot mice!
Perhaps we can catch and train the laser mousies for the zombie apocalypse?
Boy should not give up his day job for a career in cinematography.
Definitely not. But not bad for sitting on the couch, filming over his shoulder. And I had the cats so there’s no Oli hugs to mess up the focus.
