Quest for the Perfect Fluffy Photo

There's a reason why Squeaky seems to get more than his fair share of top billing around here - the camera loves him, and he seems to love it right back. Or at least, he's capable of doing cute things in conjunction with having his picture taken. Fluffy? Not so much. Part of it is because she's had some trouble with her eyes matting, for which she now has to have medicine three times a day. As a result, she's usually not presentable for a photo to begin with, with the goop around her eyes. Which is unfortunate, because she's really turning into quite a gorgeous young lady. Her eyes have turned from baby blue to a blueish gray in the last 48 hours, which matches her light gray fur perfectly. At first glance, she appears to be a solid, smokey color, but if you look closely, you'll see a few faint tabby markings on her sides. All in all, she's looking like she's going to be a beautiful cat.

Squeaky is still a typical boy. His favorite game right now is to run out the door to their room when I come in for feedings or to play with them. He usually comes back, though, once he figures out all the fun is going to happen in the room!

Both kittens appear to have crossed several milestones in the past couple of days. I've seen both drinking water from their dish, and they have finally figured out that the little brown kibble is for eating, not playing in. However, the biggest milestone appears to have happened today -- all poops were covered up. Apparently they're finally learning to bury it, not step in it. It's about time!
