Monday already? I would like to speak to whoever approved that, because that wasn't me. I had a few more weekend activities planned, including doing nothing for another hour. At least we can see baby cat pictures and forget we are annoyed for a moment. Scroll down to get some Monday meowtivation!

A few baby cats will certainly help. Kittens can look innocent, surprised, sleepy, angry, all at once. Where are you going, little one? You still need both paws to hold onto a slipper. They always manage to look cute. Watching them look surprised by their surroundings hits the toughest person in their soft spot. There's nothing you can do to resist a baby cat's sweetness. You have to surrender.  

Then their little heads start dropping and their eyes close halfway until they give up. Too much eepiness. That's when they become harder to resist. If they fit beside your leg and decide that's their spot for a nap, you'll let them settle in. Please adjust your plans accordingly. Now it's not the time to move or go to the bathroom. You stay there until the kitty wakes up. 

That is the sort of energy we all have on a Monday. We're like zombies trying to get things done, but all we really want is a nap and a little affection. Anyways, I hope you do what you need to do today, but for now, these kittens are here to help give the start of the week a softer landing. I know, I know. Don't complain. That first Monday message you sent to your friend was already a complaint. Even though you probably have a point, you can discuss it after looking at the kittens.
