The most action is currently in the "DF-kewl Kitty Room" right now.

I know that we have FanFare and Meta Book Club, but I think I know what I want next.

I like to pretend the ones with the test patterns are because the Kitten Emergency Broadcast System has been activated due to a global conflict among kitten superpowers.

Is this some sort of anti-productivity conspiracy?

Yes. Productivity is the enemy. Embrace the kittens.

There is a kitten stuck in a cup and it gets removed and it sticks its head back in. Best thing ever.

Foster Dad John is the king of kittencams -- the Fabulous ones are his 43rd foster litter. (#42 was the Hitchhiker Kittens, which resulted in his first ever foster fail, i.e. he adopted one of them himself.) All the more remarkable in that he is allergic to cats.

Shelly (tinykittens, currently the Dancing Kittens) is another remarkably talented fosterer, though her current batch is headed for adoption this weekend. The mama and two kittens have gone to forever homes already.

The best is when there's a surprise cat from behind the camera.

this is like my personal ASMR - some people crack a beer after a long day, some people turn on webcams of kittens and just relax into beingness.

I can stop any time I want to, I just don't want to.

I've been a longtime devotee of Foster Dad John's kittencam. His new kitty, Trillian, is among the most beautiful kitties I have seen.

OMG, it's Grumpy Cat's Non-Evil Twin!

What are you doing, kitten? You can't fit into a water glass!

Multiple kittens wrestling at the moment on Foster Dad John's kittencam. This is now in a little window alongside the tedious editing I am doing. Thank goodness for large screens.

Livestream is blocked at work. Where I really *need* the kittenses to cheer me up. So sad now.

MY AWWS LET ME SHOW YOU THEM

I watch Foster Dad John's and Shelly's (TinyKittens) alllll the time and I'm not sure how I get anything done anymore. Although I think the morale boost that kittens provide may be a net positive in terms of productivity.

Also, if you'd like to spend even more time looking at cats, many of the fosters adopted from both Foster Dad John and Tinykittens end up having Facebook pages, so you can see them grow up and continue to be adorable. Not that I'm following a dozen cats on Facebook or anything, of course.

Yay thank you I really needed this right now!

As of this comment, the Kittens of the Shire are going bananas, if you'd like some kitten hijinks with your lunch.

Awwww! Thanks for posting this. A world without kittens would be like a world without ice cream or cupcakes. There would be less sweetness.

I still love how to promote their new album, a couple years ago DEVO did a cat-room livestream with a few kitties playing on a giant, blue energy dome. (The album played in the background on repeat for a few hours.)

Some of us still long for the rule of King Orange.

Dammit, I wish so many of these didn't require a Livestream account just to watch.
