Dear Log,
The kittens have stopped befouling their room, and have indepedently discovered the litter box. This pleases me.
They have also taken to sleeping behind an old CRT. If you come up to the monitor, you can carry on a conversation with their collective mutterings. "Kitties?" [simultaneous grumbles] "Want some food?" [pause. non-committal squeakings] "OK, I'll come back later." [murmurings]
