Introducing Roux's Pâte à Choux

Last night around 21:00 KATZ, Roux delivered her three healthy kittens! It was a long delivery, and the archived video is almost five hours long! You can find that here (as of this writing, it's still uploading and processing - it may take a few hours before it's available.)

Roux is so very comfortable with her human friends that she actually delivered her kittens on the beanbag chair - in DJ's lap! Certainly a first for Kitten Academy! Though the kittens came out backwards and every which-way, in the end, everyone was fine!

Here's the new kids, in order of birth, with their names!

We'll work on getting more photos later, when the kittens are ready to spend a little more time away from Roux. At a glance, it may seem difficult to tell Cro from Ben, but Cro has thin, light stripes, while Ben has bold, dark swirls.

If you feel like you need a pronunciation guide for these kittens, you're not alone! Here is some help:
