Another mostly peaceful night. Only a couple things knocked over. They're exploring further afield now, someone's been up on the kitchen table, plucking fake flowers out of the vase.
Lots of playfulness this morning, under the watchful eye of my Supervisor who sits at the other end.
Kittens are galloping around chasing each other. He managed to stinkbomb me mid afternoon, quite impressive stench.
Tonight they've been to the loo, one after the other, and no stinkbomb. Maybe they can only let one off once a day.
Yesterday he went to one tray, pooped, so she went to another, pooped. Then she went to his tray, peed in there and sorted out the litter and buried it all. Then he went back and reburied it all.
There's some weird system going on and I don't know the rules.
Supervisor was lurking around furniture last night and I heard her go off her nut at the babies. No idea what happened as I couldn't see but she got yelled at for being so rude and sent to the bedroom to chill out.
Quiet night, she slept on me all night long and the kittens settled down not long after we went to bed. They were up when I woke this morning. We've had playtime since I got back from the pool and now they're all sleepy.
Food consumptions getting back to usual levels.
The kittens are getting braver and more adventurous. Are now sussing out Supervisor's stuff and the rest of the place.
Supervisor is on the couch, I am awaiting fireworks.
So he goes into the bedroom where Supervisor is on the couch, and has a perve around. She follows. I watch from afar. Eventually they go to check out the couch and that's a bridge too far, Supervisor gets mad, babies retreat.
They're still checking out stuff though, being curious kittens.
Supervisor has decided going to sleep next to me, on my desk, is a good kitten free spot.
Kittens are now off having a post dinner/exploration snooze.
Friyay morning, hurrah! Fed the babies, they're still sick of kitten food so they get a can of Supervisor food mixed in with it and that is devoured. Went swimming, got home to two full of food and beans kittens who are chasing each other around and around and around.
Some hissing early this morning but no blows struck that I could hear.
Darn it, some kitten posts missed the thread!

Silly me, I thought they were in here but I must have missed the reply button.
Got the butterfly toy out for the kittens who were playing with it as I was eating brekky. Supervisor lurked closer and closer....now tabby is shit stirring Supervisor by getting closer to her then running off. Have told them all to be nice. Hopefully they sort out their issues today, it's finally getting cooler at night so they'll be wanting furry buddies to snuggle with soon enough.
And ah, he waited until this morning to set off the next stinkbomb, how kind.
Supervisor was laying on her rug, the kittens were in a tunnel snoozing, when we got back. Tabby was interested in checking out the stack books, then was basically nose to nose with Supervisor who then started hissing. But no attempts to lash out and it's not as loud and angry as it was. Hopefully they're slowly finding some middle ground as the two are definitely interested in each other.
Little bro still sticking to the background and watching carefully.
The kittens are wrestling their way around the kitchen, and booting every toy imaginable across the floor. Supervisor watches, intrigued. Tabby runs under the stool Supervisor is on and whacks her tail. Supervisor spins around in astonishment but tabby is already long gone to chase her brother.
Supervisor needs to realise it's all in fun, they're not wanting to fight with her.
Supervisor fed, babies fed. Supervisor now sleeping on my desk next to me. Babies have gone into a tunnel to curl up together. He was having fun trashing the tunnels earlier, making them move metres away from their usual spot.
They have their after dinner siesta, then we have playtime in a couple hours. And encourage Supervisor to play nicely.
We go to bed, kittens are still playing together. An hour or so later, I think tabby went exploring, and got trapped in a room by my Supervisor. Suddenly a whole lot of angry cat shrieking, I dive out of bed. They both shoot out of the room. I eventually find tabby, terrified and jumpy, and calm her down. Then put my Supervisor in the bedroom and close the door so she can calm the fuck down and stop terrorising babies.
Attempt to go back to sleep.
Supervisor keeps trying to get out, I eventually let her out around 5am. She's still in the shits, so everyone needs to be watched over for brekky. I go to the pool. Get back and she's still aggro, so she's in the bedroom again to cool off.
Kids these days.
At least today the babies have calmed down but are still jumpy. If she tries hissing at him, he hisses back and she backs off, but he's bigger. Tabby the easy target?
Sometimes you just gotta rest your tired legs on your sister.

First round of dinner in temporary location until things settle down. Once they've finished, bowls go into laundry for seconds, out of the way of Supervisor.
Kittens are preferring their kitten food cut with a can of adult food right now. I'd be sick of it too, they've been getting it for weeks.
My supervisor spent the night on my legs and under the doona this morning, no brawls, no fighting. She is a good girl. Everyone wolfed down brekky, no brawling whilst I was out walking.
Supervisor did have a moment of chasing Tabby who was in the laundry but stopped very quickly when I called her. Hopefully this is all an improvement.
@vwdasher I always let cats sort out these squabbles themselves. A whack with a paw is just an attempt at dominance.
My two boy cats are friends but they still have spats over things like - senior cat thinks he has superior rights when it comes to sleeping close to me. Younger cat will try and get closer and closer during the night, and gets a whack and some hissing if he oversteps the mark.
