This morning I was in mortal danger

Little Gwen went on a rampage. I ended up having to pull the comforter over my head to protect myself. Then she turned into a veloci-kitten and started circling me, looking for weakness in my defense technique.

Then Merlin rushed to my aid and pinned her down on the bed. All she could do is a series of very rapid bunny kicks, not making any contact at all. It was hilarious.

I'm going to double check the ingredients in her kitten food.

Thank goodness Magical Merlin was there to come to your rescue. I can just imagine the rapid bunny kicks not making contact; sounds hilarious. It's always fun to start the day with a good laugh.

I just hope Gwen got those wild oats out of her system.

husband gives our cat a churro, after she eats it, there are times she just goes crazy running through the house. I tell my husband there must be kitty rocket fuel in some of that stuff!

Cuddles sometimes plays the father role when Shadow gets too full of herself too.
I love it.

Per on-line source - Kittens officially enter their "teenage" (adolescent) phase around 6 months of age. This rebellious, high-energy stage generally lasts until they are between 1.5 to 3 years old, and brings a few distinct behavioral changes.
