It’s kitten picture time! At least we’re still calling Mazu a kitten, even though she’s up to 10 months now and has enough fur to convince us she’s much larger than she is. It’s pretty impossible to deny that she’s a Maine Coon anymore—heck, I’m not sure if she’s got any of her calico mother in there at all!

But back to the battle. Please enjoy these pictures of Mazu engaged in a fierce war, so fierce that focusing was nearly impossible. What better way to start your Monday than with kitten adorableness? (I may have a sickness, I know).

Mazu preparing for battle with great enthusiasm.

The first catch—she’s fascinated, really.

See, I told you! It’s a kitten versus orange puffy thing war!

Epic tossing of orange fluffy thing!

Interest in the epic battle is fading . . . fading . . .

What? It’s a fluffy orange thing. I’ve killed bugs. This is nothing.
