Six Little Rugrats

The six little rugrats have made the office their own. Being a compete and total nerd, I named them after Serenity characters. The one who resembles Alia is Mal. The two grey kittens are River and Simon. The calicos are Inara, Zoe, and Kaylee. And, yes, they act just like their namesakes.

They're now at the size where they float around the room faster than I can keep with them. I haven't stepped on any of them yet, but I have knocked a few silly while trying to move around. Their new favorite way of reminding me that it is now their room is to wait until I've parked myself at the computer and then either bite my feet or climb my legs to sit in my lap. Not a problem if I'm wearing denim, but if I have nice pants on, it's a problem.

I can't wait until they decide to start sleeping in my bed. They've already found their way up the mattress, so it is just a matter of time before I roll over in my sleep and hear a sharp MEOW!

Mal tries his luck on Mount Steven.

River decides to try to play with Alia instead of feeding.  Alia is not amused.

Kaylee and Mal argue about the best way to fix the DSL.

Simon and Zoe try to scale the western slope of Mount Steven.

River puts in her two cents about proper Internet surfing.
