Fandy - this is the place to come when feeling out of sorts. Your fellow whiners will always understand.
HB - thanks for posting the video! That was great. Just one thing, though - I forgot all about the whole urinate/deficate thing. Mama goes in the yard, but babies will be too small. Can those tiny things use a litter box? (I've only had full grown cats, no kittens.)
Ann - The First Mate will need a sea worthy wardrobe. Better start planning.
