'Fainting Goat' Kittens
They seem well cared for and happy, so I feel less guilty for laughing.

My advisors tell me that there are specially bred mice with this. They're call 'Knock-out' mice.
Strange times we live in.

If this is the same condition as the famous goats it's not actually a faint, it's a fault in their body chemistry that causes paralysis when excited or surprised, so I assume there was often some noise we couldn't hear like someone clapping?
They can NEVER be allowed out the house anywhere near traffic poor loves.

The camera does seem to shake just as they fall down.
Poor little things ('specially the dead one)

I fear they're not going to be very good at hunting birds and mice, though, poor things.

One ticket to Hull please.
I know I am supposed to be crying my eyes out now, but instead I find myself giggling away at the utter absurdity and cuteness of it all...
