This is the first time I have used music from YouTube, and I found a clip that fit the action almost as if it had been choreographed. See if you don&#8217;t agree! The kitties are Bob and Cordelia.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gRIyC2fC3BM\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gRIyC2fC3BM\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Merry Chris-Max.<\/strong><\/a> Max unwraps his first Christmas present! At this moment, only 4 people have watched this video, even though it&#8217;s been on YouTube for three weeks. I mean, how can that be? Max is absolutely ridiculously cute, and he gets only four hits? C&#8217;mon, everybody! Where&#8217;s your Christmas spirit?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nqKTHzw4_vk\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nqKTHzw4_vk\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Kitty Fails.<\/strong><\/a> Kittens are so good at failing! The main thing is that they don&#8217;t get discouraged. They always pick themselves back up and they usually try again.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s your minimum daily requirement of cute for today. Next time, we&#8217;ll get back to chess.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. A word of explanation for anyone who doesn&#8217;t know this already: My wife and I are foster caregivers for kittens for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scanimalshelter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Cruz Animal Shelter<\/a>. That&#8217;s where all the kittens in the videos come from. We return them to the shelter when they get big enough to adopt &#8212; all except Max, who came to us just before Christmas 2011 and stayed.<\/p>\n<p>Right now it&#8217;s the kitten off-season, but when we start getting kittens again in April or May, you&#8217;ll be able to find their pictures on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dana.mackenzie.944\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You didn&#8217;t think I was serious when I said in my last post that I could build traffic to my chess blog with more kitten videos?
