Carbohydrate Craving Kittens #3

Dear Kittens,

I get it, carbs are amazing.  Lord knows I couldn't possibly make a satisfying sandwich without them, i wake up in the night sometimes craving a nice, fat bagel, and don't even get me started on my life-long commitment to pasta.

But here's the thing:  Genetically speaking, as a Homo sapien, I am an omnivore.  And you, genetically Felis castus - or Felis domestica - are a carnivorous mammal.  And that is why I cannot comprehend what drives this inner compulsion of yours to seek out and consume CARBOHYDRATES.

Two days ago i bought two loaves of bread on sale, thinking I would slice one of them and freeze it, thus storing some extra food for the coming weeks when I would not have time to go purchase fresh bread for dinner.  You -- RONAN -- have spoiled this plan.

Exhibit A & B: A previously pristine loaf of 12-Grain Bread (yes, really) that you have mangled through the plastic bag and torn pieces out of for your late night snacking pleasure.

Exhibit A.
Exhibit B.



Exhibit C & D:  Your completely guilty (if completely adorable) face.
Exhibit C. (w/ possibly accomplice?)
Exhibit D.

Look.
I love you.  And I like carbs.  And I get if you like carbs, too.  But for the love of god, stop eating my bread!

Sincerely,
Your frustrated human,

Rain

Blocked video in another country!

So this is interesting.

According to YouTube, one of my kitten videos cannot be streamed in Germany.

Was there kitty nudity?
Kitty cursing?
Nazi-kitty rituals?

No.
I happened to be playing a record by trip-hop artists Alpha while Pandora explored the DJ Kitty Scratch-mat in THIS video (*If you are in Germany, you will not be able to see it!*):


UMG registered a complaint and because of this they can play ads during the video that will benefit them, and I (*gasp!*) am not allowed to earn any money from this video (did i ever??).

So, there you go.
If you are recording a video of your cute kitty having fun with their new kick-ass toy, better not be enjoying any good audio art at the same time.

Sorry, Alpha.  I really wasn't trying to step on your toes.
Not sorry, UMG.  It was Pandora's selection, and on Christmas we all take turns picking out records to play.

Ronan is a Jerk

Well.  Not all the time, but it is springtime, so he's been extra "wild" lately.

Here he is trying to stalk his sister.

My favourite part is when he pounces and lands unceremoniously on the squeaky-squirrel toy at 0:25.

I found this in my bed the other day...

Multiple-choice quiz:

What is Exhibit 'A'?

a) Gross
b) A Sneaky Kitty Snack
c) Dissappointing
d) Used to be a Crispy Crunch Chocolate Bar
e) Almost Entirely Void of Chocolate
or,
f) All Of The Above.


EXHIBIT  'A'

The answer is F) All Of The Above.

Oh, those sneaky kittens... I'm not even sure that there is much carbohydrate value in a Crispy Crunch Chocolate Bar...
