I wrote yesterday about how the kittens smell so good - like vanilla - since they fell into my vanilla bubble bath the other evening...

Well, those adorable critters have a very stinky side.

Velvet loves to sleep on my chest. And she loves to nuzzle me - it gets to be a little much - at first it is just chin rubbing, and then she starts nibbling on my nose. A little is enough - you know? So she's sleeping on my chest. Tux sleeps between my knees (just like Sassy did). Early morning, he scoots up beside me, leaning against my arm.

Suddenly, this morning, Velvet got up and jumped off the bed.

And then I smelled it - it was Tux. It was silent and very deadly. I have not smelled something so foul come out of a grown man before - much less a fluffy kitten that weighs less than 3 lbs.
