Thor the kitten thinks that water with a tinge of dog spit tastes better. He has learned to stand up on the edge to reach the water. He does have two of his own, properly sized, water bowls around the house.
Tastes better

Cats are liquid
Here is my submission for the “cats are liquid” hypothesis. The ability to form to their containers starts in kittenhood.
Arm saver
Uh oh, I left you without kitten pictures for two days. Let’s rectify that.
Today I present a DIY arm saver. A rolled terry cloth hand towel, secured with an elastic hairband, makes a good kitten kick and bite toy. Thor the kitten likes to wrestle and bite. For the most part he keeps his claws in for this play, but he is losing his kitten teeth and needs to bite. I would prefer he not lacerate my arm. When he jumps on my lap and gets feisty, I substitute the rolled towel. Everyone is happy.
As a bonus, it also makes a good nap pillow.
There’s an app for that
I downloaded an app designed for cats on my iPad. It works for the kitten, and Missy the dog! Although Missy likes to watch the kitten best.
Shh, sleeping
Thor the kitten is exploring his nap spot possibilities, which in my experience is very cat-like behavior. He has been branching out as well, napping in different places, and ranging farther from his people. His latest spot is in the snake cabinet cubby. We converted an old movable kitchen island to a snake habitat stand, and the kitten likes the cubby because he can look out over the living room from the second story.
