Bird is the Word.
I have papers to write and no doubt my study break has done on long enough, but I wanted to share this tidbit about the kittens with my (four) loyal readers.
I bought one of those fake birds on a string on a stick that you can make zoom around the room. You know, a cat toy. I brought it in from the car and I introduced the kittens for it. You'd think I'd brought another animal into the house. They've been hunting it all day. They are, in fact, more interested in playing with it than they are in people food today. They're plum tuckered out and sleeping at the moment, but for awhile when I making the fake bird fly around they were chasing it with their little kitty fangs bared, ready to catch and put down the neon pink menace. Its been wonderful. They've even been stalking it when I wasn't making it fly around. (Which is even better. One of them will "catch" it and carry it around and get the other one's attention, who will start batting at the stick end.) Wonderful.
