Keeping up with the Kattarshians

Four kittens live in a house together. It's scaled to be just their size. Three live webcams (and a night vision camera) follow their antics as they learn to get along with each other -or not. Is that a great premise for a show or what? That's Keeping up with the Kattarshians, an Icelandic production starring a litter of kittens who will eventually be up for adoption.

The overwhelmingly cute kittens are siblings and we call them the Catdashians (The Kattarshians in Icelandic, due to the spelling in our language) and we’re keeping up with them. They are unfortunately orphans and will stay in their wonderful house for 3-4 weeks until some nice people adopt them and other homeless kittens take their place.

Keeping Up With the Catdashians is a cooperation project with The Icelandic Cat Protection Society and with full knowledge and approval of the Icelandic Food And Veterinary Authority, the Animal Welfare Officer and the Expert Veterinarian and Animal Welfare Officer in Iceland.

Employees and volunteers from The Icelandic Cat Protection Society take care of the kittens and make sure they get a sufficient time with people which is very important. They also take care of housekeeping, cleaning the litter box and serving food. Meanwhile we take a break from the streaming. This happens 2-3 times a day.

This video compiles the best scenes from the past week. To watch the action live, bookmark this link. When I last checked, they were asleep: one in the top bunk, two on the floor, and one in the bathtub.

They put all sorts of animals in their liquor bottles over there. They think they can drink the animals characteristics or some jazz like that...

It's incredibly common in those cultures. There's a video of the foul mouthed TV Chef and one of the Top Gear guys drinking the stuff. I posted it over on my forum; let me see if I can find it.

Here it is:

I'd love to try the stuff just to say I had, but the quality of the liquor is I'm sure absolute crap.

The REALLY fowl stuff (pun intended) is some nordic or icelandic or inuit cultures (apologies, I don't remember which) actually put birds into bottles. That's very dangerous - much higher likelihood of contamination. The other animals aren't really that big of a deal.

Dude! That's 3 Snake Wine! An ex-boyfriend of mine found some of that when he was doing a moving job for a Chinese restaurant. The proprietor told him it would make him sexually attractive and so he drank some of it. Maybe it worked, I sure thought he was hot.

I love how we're not supposed to reuse plastic water bottles because the chemicals will leach into the water, but RATTLESNAKES... that's just fine.

They sell this type in China too. I had the opportunity to try snake wine (because how badass does it sound to say you've drank snake?) but I had to decline for the rat one.. that was.. wrong to say the elast.

Oh yea, we were told by the older Vietnamese guy that he has a glass every morning because it makes him stronger, but the rat wine - that's only for special occasions!

It is absolutely foul by the way!!

It is correct, that you find snakes in rice wine in about every shop in Viet Nam. The monkeys are harder to find though:

I had some of the stuff, a friend has a neighbor that is from Vietnam, he had a few bottles of it. They poured the shot before I got to see the bottle, it was pretty potent stuff.
