I've mentioned before that Ping loves being in the bedroom with Bam-Bam,
Barney & Betty (Betty has her own theme song:  Black Betty, by Ram Jam
(originally by Leadbelly), listen here (first song at  the bottom of the
page)

but last night was a hoot.  He was hanging around the living room (bedroom
opens right into the living room) and when I got up to got change into my
jammies, I looked at him and said "Ping, ya wanna go see your kids?".  He
ran right to the bedroom door!  I opened the door a crack (a precaution as
them brats are always trying to escape - we'd let them, but they don't know
the dangers of Max the D-pet yet, and he's snapped at them a couple of
times), and Ping pushed his nose in.  He kept pushing, and I let the door
open further.  I could see those three hootikittens gathering at the
opening, hoping for an escape, but there was a blockage.  Thy looked at it
quizzically - but by then Ping's head was in through the doorway (being a
long slender cat, it was easy for the rest of him to follow).  Them kittens'
eyes lit up like a toddler's on Christmas morning!  Unka Ping!!!!  Then they
scattered, leaving Ping standing there, wondering which one to chase first!
But then he decided that since they were all hiding, that a munch on a bit
of kitten chow was appropriate.  I also entered the bedroom, and while
changing into my jammies, watched Ping hop up onto the bed, only to have 3
kittens 'dogpile' on him, and they turned into a pile of rasslin kitties.

He's such a Good Unka Ping!!!!
