7 weeks old and full of energy
We have been catless for almost 5 years, so when my yoga instructor mentioned her cat was pregnant and asked if I wanted to adopt kittens I was happy to accept her offer. We’ve never taken in kittens. Most of our cats were strays that just showed up and decided they wanted to live with us. It was imperative to take 2 kittens because they spend each waking moment chasing each other. After a while they get exhausted and curl up for a nap. This process continues throughout the day with a quick break for meals and pooping.
Luna and Raven
The first order of business was naming our kittens. I googled female names for black cats and chose Luna and Raven for these girls. This is photo of Luna. Unlike her sister she has strands of silver in her fur when made me think of silver moonlight. It is hard to identify them and they look vastly different in different lighting scenarios. I suppose after a while I’ll notice the differences in their personalities.
Cat Photos
Like all new parents I find myself taking photos of my newborns. They are constantly on the move so this is very challenging undertaking.
Daily Picture Themes
I’ve been keeping up with the Daily Picture Themes posted on the social media site Spoutible and posting them on my Improves with Age substack. Here is the summary from the first week of 2025.

Practice self care
“[Try to] accept with [grace] the things that cannot be changed, [maintain the drive] to change the things that [might and] should be changed, and [gain] the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.” – Doug Waitt edit of the Serenity Prayer
Can we talk?
I have removed AdSense advertising from my site. The ads were annoying and cluttered up the page. However it does cost money (and time) to publish this website. If you enjoy the content, why not become a supporter? Think of it as buying me a “virtual cup of coffee”. FYI the average cost of a cup of coffee in 2024 is $3.08
