The current summerlike weather and lighter evenings have wrought an unexpected change in the activities of the International Kittens of Mystery. They've become Nocturnal Kittens of Mystery. Which has resulted in far less Polish being typed on my keyboard as they both spend much of the day asleep.

The word 'peace' has re-entered our vocabulary and found a friend called 'quiet.'

Here's Kai and Xena sleeping off a night of intensive counter beetle operations:

And if you're wondering if Xena's wearing a furry night scarf, here's the picture from another angle.

Yes, it's Kai's leg - he has so many. And as an International Kitten of Mystery he has to be prepared at all times and sometimes that means kittenpulting your partner out of bed.

A Kitten's Guide to Looking Cute while Unconscious	Feb. 21st, 2007 @ 03:38 pm

It's a competitive life as a stunt kitten and today we reflect upon last year's European Cute Kitten Olympics. Some say it was Kai's finest hour - usually Kai.

First up we have the kitten superstar demonstrating the stretch, smirk and ear curl. Always a crowd pleaser, the judges nearly squeed themselves and awarded 5.9s across the board for execution and solid sixes for artistic interpretation.

And if you think that was good, here we see Kai in the compulsory figures. A reverse half pike with twist. And probably several other twists as well. Remember, kittens, do not try this at home. Kai is professional stunt kitten and even he wasn't sure how he managed it.

And here we have Kai in the freestyle competition demonstrating 'SuperKitten Flies!' Note the dramatic pose, the ballet toe point, the perfect line to the outstretched front paw, the tucked in back leg and ... turn, eyes close and ... hold.
