Watching him figure it out was fantastic - I think I have some even earlier videos. He just wanted to play all the games and try all the things!
And he practiced as you can see in the one video where he climbed up and couldn’t quite jump up to the catwalk on first try
Congrats - Valentino is very pleased
Eclipse came to us just under a year old and he had not been in a household with much feline enrichment and he had trouble climbing cat condos, but after being here for six weeks with Valentino and the Seamonster, he got really good. He loves running and playing hard with Tony.

Eclipse and Tony were zooming around like crazy after dinner. Eclipse decided within just a couple hours of Tony’s arrival “this is my kitten” - and he was climbing the tallest cat trees within a week to keep up with the big cats - with a hilarious dismount - I posted videos last August or Sept
12 lbs after a good meal to Miss Mercy 6 lbs soaking wet — he’s going to be bigger than Valentino and is currently the 2nd biggest cat of 6 (even if his head still looks a little smaller than Simón and Eclipse’s heads)
Feel better soon banana baby
My cat George wasn’t actually named by me but every time they would put George Clark on the label I would think of my grand grandfather because that was his name.
My orange kitten is named after my stepdad and I actually gave him my last name so he’s Anthony Bruno Clark. However, Miss Mercy Buttercup already has a last name but they keep putting Clark on it. And they keep putting “Ms.” 🤣
Seal point Siamese looking a little annoyed as he is laying on his left side and the black cat is trying to snuggle close. The Siamese has his right front leg over the black cats shoulders.
Valentino is very clearly trying to prevent the black cat from getting too close — he’s got both front paws on the back of cat’s chest and his black paw is on black cat’s body
Overview of the Siamese cat holding off the black cat’s advances
The other black cat is sitting on the blue fleece blanket with his back to the snuggling couple.
Simón wants Valentino to bathe him and he was trying to nurse on Valentino’s chest fur - Tino said “No!” And then wanted Eclipse to intervene

In this picture, a ginger tabby kitten who is twice as big as the little black senior kitty on the right - both snuggling on a purple fleece blanket and the orange kitty is looking right at the photographer. The black kitty is sort of looking in the direction of the photographers hand, but not up at the camera.
Tony and Miss Mercy

Three cats spread across a teal fleece blanket against the pillows of a queen size bed - a black cat closest to the lower left corner with a ginger kitty using him as a pillow. A large seal point Siamese taking the far side of the bed
No room on the bed for me
It’s a black cat, very small standing on a blue and pink pattern runner over a hardwood floor. She’s looking up at the photographer. She has a few white whiskers and little white hairs coming out of her ears.

Two cats snuggling - ginger tabby nestled against a seal point Siamese cat - April 2026
Same to cats in July 2025 - the Siamese is clearly the “big spoon” and the orange kitty fits right against his belly

Two cats are snuggled up on a red fleece blanket. It is nighttime in the room is lit by a light so it’s a little bit low light. The photographer is overhead from the cats and they are both looking up at her. The top half of the picture is a black cat and the bottom half of the picture is the spotted tabby ginger tuxedo kitten who is meaning back more to look up at the photographer.

Well, that makes two of us.
Also fluorescent lights move and flicker a lot. There’s like living creatures inside those tubes.
A large seal point Siamese lays against the heavily scarred Caucasian left leg of the photographer with his paws, folded up over his nose
Same Siamese sandwiched between both legs of the photographer with his chin, resting on the top of the photographers left foot and his tail going past the top of the photographers inseam
Valentino is THIS long - I have a 34” inseam #siamesecats #blackcatranch #catsofbluesky

Shockingly I worked at a medical device company. That was very “one size fits all“ when it comes to environment and communication. I have a problem sitting under fluorescent lights. I got light covers that look like the forest and are not a fire hazard, but I was told it was not corporate.
A ginger tabby tuxedo kitten is standing up on his back legs and reaching up with his little white mitten paws on the photographers left hip. The photographer is wearing black cats on her feet ha ha ha ha no not really they’re just walking over her feet.
In this picture, the ginger kitten is still stretching, but looking up at the photographer with his beautiful golden eyes and you can see wandering around on the floor rather milling about our three other black cats. It is a white linoleum floor and there are white throw rugs that have black and red stripes
Well, the kitten is in the middle of returning to all 4 feet on the floor, but there’s a cat under him. There are four black cats in this picture at the 6 o’clock position of the photo is the tiniest black cat Miss Mercy.
Tony loves to stand up and partner stretch

I’m kind of thinking if most of the people in our government don’t pay taxes I don’t think I need to pay them.
He looooooves brushies
Tony the ginger spotted tabby tuxedo kitty is sitting on a white synthetic fleece next to a window. You can see that it is not quite dark outside, but just passed sunset. It’s a little dim inside and the light from a light bulb on the left side of the picture is reflecting on the window behind Tony, and also making his white fur looks slightly yellow.
Just bedtime here! Not quite Wednesday yet
Wait, are they actually doing excommunication? How do I get one? I’ve been trying to figure this out for decades. I want a certificate.
Three cats are sitting on a multilevel beige carpet covered cat condo in a corner with windows on each side. On the lower level, the seal point Siamese is pointed towards the window on the left although he’s looked towards the photographer briefly. On the level above him, there is a black cat still looking out that window on the left. on the right side of that level is the ginger kitty. Just sitting as cat loaf and not really looking at the photographer, but sort of toward the camera possibly down toward the floor
