You didn't think I'd let my kittens' birthday pass without sharing more baby photos, did you? Mama Peri had five little beans; one did not survive. She took amazing care of the rest and they all grew into happy healthy adults! 🧵

At the time i was living with roommates who were very allergic to cats so i wanted every moment i could get. Little did i know that the situation would change in just three months, and two kittens had picked me out as the biggest sucker. And they were right.
A few days later they are now bravely exploring the entire apartment! I am a new and exciting climbing aparatus for them (thank goodness for a denim jacket!), except for Kushana, who has always been wary of me. This age is FUN as they are so excited about everything!
At four weeks old, the kittens are more energetic and more curious about their surroundings! I remember this was on Easter bc i came to visit twice that day. They are able to stand and walk better and are starting to run and climb! It is impossible to get a clear photo of any of them.
At three weeks old, the kittens are getting brave and starting to explore outside their nest! Photos are dark bc i could mostly only visit in the evenings and YOU try getting photos of wiggly dark babies in a dark room at night! Mama Peri is v. suspicious of me but lets me handle them.
My sibling named them after some of our favourite Ghibli movie characters: Kushana (Nausicaa; the largest and fluffiest kitten), Chihiro (Spirited Away; one of the "twins"), Sophie (Howl's Moving Castle; the other twin), and Calcifer (Howl's Moving Castle, the tabby and smallest)
There were four black beans and one brown tabby. The only bean with any colour on her was the one who left us far too soon (but SO SO SO loved). I referred to them as soot sprites, referring to the little black balls of soot from Studio Ghibli movies!
