You know those cartoons where critters have spiral wire springs on
their feet, and they go "Sproing!"

These kittens don't need the springs. I'm letting them out once in
awhile to play, and they are the sproingiest little things I've ever
seen!

sproing! sproing! sproing!

They're amazing, aren't they? The springs are on the inside. ;)

Years ago I had a Siamese that would sproing just like Pepe Le Pew! It
was hilariouos watching him bounce around the yard and bounce off tree
trunks. Because of those memories I can really picture your kittens.
Guarranteed to lift your spirit.

I once decided that a kitten I was fostering must be a Tigger, since
"its top was made out of rubber, and its bottom made out of springs"
(http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/tigger.htm).

The final 3 bits of the litter in April are still sproinging (and they
are going on 6 months now). Isn't it fun?

I just love to watch them, expeshully my Mr. Marley (yep, I'm his
forever meowmie, and Smeagol's too, and Seal/Delilah's if my friend
doesn't get a place where she can have her).

Good Lord, that means I've got 4 adults and 3 bits... SEVEN??? I have
SEVEN cats??? Ah well, the more the merrier I say. Well, to a point.
I'm thinking 7 (SEVEN????) is my limit.

Well, for a while we argued we had the equivalent of three cats, since
the two bits together were barely a cat's worth...Those days are long
gone now though.

Bum-bum-badum! Kumani and Tyche chase each other down the hall,
galloping lightning! I wonder what the downstairs neighbours think??

We viewed these bits (and their recently departed - to a forever home -
brother, Bear, who has been renamed Tar Baby) as 2 adults. However,
Smeagol and Marley, bless their pointed little heads, are getting to be
big boys.
