Discussing baby’s future
They are both doing the "I want" chitter. They very much want to get up, but they have a sleeping baby cuddling with them. They must endure, but they will not be silent about it
Well well well, kitties. Looks like you want to get up but there's a little cat on you so you can't. Very frustrating situation there, can't imagine the burden of being held down by a little adorable kittycat. Couldn't, as the kids say, be me.

Covered Cup Made from Rhinoceros Horn with Warthog Tusks – Nikolaus Pfaff (1611)
Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Kunstkammer
Nikolaus Pfaff carved the rhinoceros horn, while the identity of the goldsmith who created the mounts remains unknown. The metalwork follows the traditions of the Nuremberg goldsmith school, renowned for combining rare exotic materials with highly refined craftsmanship.
Place of origin: Prague
Materials and Technique: Rhinoceros horn (white rhinoceros, Ceratotherium simum); African warthog tusks; gilded silver mounts, partially painted
Symbolism: the cup reflects the early modern belief that certain natural materials possessed protective and healing powers
Function: a prestigious collector's object; a symbol of princely wealth and global trade; a showcase of rare and exotic natural materials; an object believed to protect against poison
According to early modern beliefs:
Rhinoceros horn was thought to neutralize poison
The "serpent's tongue" (a fossil shark tooth) was believed to protect against venom and poisoning
Coral branches symbolized healing and protection
Snakes, insects, spiders, and lizards represented dangerous or demonic forces within nature
Originally, the creature held a "serpent's tongue" (a fossil shark tooth) between its open jaws.
