Greetings, Kitten Academicians!
Turns out we forgot a few photos from an older photoshoot on the 6th! And a couple bonus photos of the Gifts (and Loganberry)! Guess we’ll be sentenced to walk the plank!
Don’t forget to click the “Older” button below the photos to see what we posted a couple days ago!
Greetings, Kitten Academicians!
We’ve finally taken a few minutes to wrap up editing on the last photoshoot! Not much news in the meantime - the Weebops are six weeks old today, but most of these photos were taken last week. You can probably tell they were taken in the Annex, but the Weebops have been in the main room for a few days now.
They’ll have their first vet visit and vaccinations on Monday the 27th!
Here’s all the photos in no particular order - consider it a challenge to decide which kitten is which! We’re likely to add collars to them this upcoming weekend, before their vet visit, so after that things should get simpler.
Greetings, Kitten Academicians!
So much happened this weekend, like Retro and Vinyl both running out of the annex door to explore, the Gifts of Gab getting picked up by their adopters, Custard and DJ visiting home, and something else… oh yeah, KA-Con! But this post is to focus on the Gifts graduation photoshoot, which was joined by a few of the faculty. We’ll be back in due time to share updated photos from the Hipsters and all the Academy news!
Here’s the photos - enjoy!

Thanks again to the mysterious Banksyl for arranging yet another art prompt for the month of July! If you’d like to participate, all you need to do is draw, paint, sculpt, knit, write a song about, make a photocollage, or… whatever strikes your fancy, that’s in some way related to the daily art prompt, then tweet it with the hashtag #KABeachParty2020 on Twitter, and maybe @kitten_academy too!
Here’s some of Syl’s choices from the last art challenge, in April!
You can click here to see all the submissions from April! We just had a look and there are sooo many fantastic ones we can’t guess how Syl made her picks!
Many thanks to everyone who Articipated in April and thanks to all who have already begun this month!

We’ve been building up a big backlog of photos of the Gifts and the Faculty to share, but we didn’t want to put them into a post with the Hipster Weebops. So … here’s what we’ve been hanging on to, including photos from the forgotten photoshoot back at the beginning of the month! Hang on to your modems - this is a big one!!
We’ll come back soon with a graduation photoshoot - this wasn’t even it!
Greetings, Kitten Academicians!
Lots of photos of the new Weebops to share! Because it can be tricky for even us to tell them apart, we’ve started this post with a small gallery of each kitten, then at the end, a giant gallery of everything.
No news to share in this mewspost, but we’ll be making a bunch more posts soon!
The photos of the kittens on the mint colored blanket were taken on the June 16th. The ones backlit by the sun were taken on June 22nd. The big gallery are photos from both of those days and a bunch more from June 29th.
Here’s some more.
Greetings, Kitten Academicians!
It’s been quite a week or two here with Bebop finally delivering seven healthy kittens on Wednesday, June 10th! It was an extended delivery, roughly 12 hours - with a few hairy moments and seven adorable furry ones.
We’ve been hoping to make a post with more, better photos and lots of info but we realize these kittens are just getting cuter every day and growing so quickly the photos are outdated the minute we take them. So here’s what we’ve got!
Because it’s so difficult to tell the kittens apart - especially when we took the first set of photos - we’re breaking this down into a little gallery for each and then a big gallery of everything else.
And here’s a big bunch of all the photos we’ve taken so far - !

Aw, kibble again? I asked for filet mignon!
Bebop is the Academy’s latest attendee, and she arrived from the Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Control Shelter in West Virginia! They sent her to the Danbury Animal Welfare Society, who we are partnered with, on May 16th. DAWS checked her out and determined (via ultrasound) that she is pregnant, they estimated 6 kittens to be delivered in roughly two weeks.
Since she arrived she’s been a very fussy eater, so we brought her in to AristoKatz for an evaluation and Dr. Katz confirmed (via X-ray) that she has seven kittens and thinks they may arrive sooner than DAWS suspected! We also did all the tests and her results were normal for a pregnant momcat, so we suspect the fussy eating is just because she’s uncomfortable and seven kittens take up a lot of space!
She’s a very lean mom who weighs in under eight pounds even with a belly full of kittens. We’re working on helping her bulk up for the delivery. So far her favorite activities seem to be observing the neighborhood through the window, and finding the coolest spot to lie on the floor.
Bebop had an orange dad!
The gene for orange (sometimes called red or yellow) cats is dominant and exists on the X chromosome. Pure orange female cats like Bebop can only happen when they inherit two of the orange genes. This makes them a little rarer than orange boys. It also means the only kittens they can have will be orange, calico, or torties. If dad was orange too, then all the kittens will be orange. The Spruce Pets has an excellent article about orange cats that goes into some detail about this.
Here’s some initial photos of this beauty. We promised some photos of the Faculty but we’ll provide those in a future post - Bebop deserves her own!
Greetings, Kitten Academicians!
We have photos of Bebop and the Faculty but there were so many photos of the Gifts that we thought they should go in a post on their own! We’ll split this post into three parts.
Banter (Female)
Blarney (Female)
Scuttlebutt (Female)
Gab (Momcat)
