kitten anxiety, probably minor 

Current freakout source: after eight days in, neither kitten seems to have started opening their eyes, but some sites say it should be happening as early as six days. Granted, some sites are also saying as late as 14 days, but naturally I'm seizing on the scariest possibility...

I'm hazily aware that this is all INCREDIBLY stereotypical early-parenting fear and even I'm gonna find this funny in a month when the kittens are bouncing around all over the place, Bast willing...

@zebratron2084 ... if you could keep your eyes closed for a few extra days, wouldn't you?

kitten anxiety, probably minor, soviet humor 

@zebratron2084

reminds me of one of the CIA's declassified soviet jokes

"Sentence from a schoolboy’s weekly composition class essay – ‘My cat just had seven kittens. They are all communists.’ A sentence from the same boy’s composition the following week – ‘My cat’s seven kittens are all capitalists.’ Teacher reminds boy that the previous week he had said the kittens were communists. ‘But now they’ve opened their eyes,’ replies the child"
