Arnold Growls... and Other Kitty Stories
Arnold found a sock somewhere and was very protective of it. If I came anywhere near it he growled. Once he even hissed at me! I'm so glad he's protecting the family from the dangerous sock.
Audrey-kitty is sitting on the table next to me and watching me type and watching the letters appear on the screen. She is quite entranced.
I lit my birthday candle from Pat last night. Arnold came right over to investigate. He felt the warmth from the flame and promptly walked away. I was so worried that they'd be hurt by a candle. I should have known they are too clever for that.
I fed them Salmon Dinner this evening and they were not pleased. I was surprised. They nibbled at it politely but walked away. So I decided to be sneaky... I opened a can of People Tuna and mixed it in with their kitty salmon. I mean, I MIXED it in as best as I could. The kitties LOVED it. They didn't eat it all - they left behind the SALMON! Really! They were able to nibble the tuna around the salmon (or, spit out the salmon). Amazing.
Kitties are still fascinated by the bathtub after my shower. Today Audrey stood on the edge of the tub and watched the water drip from the faucet. She'd stick out a paw to try to catch the water drop then shake her paw violently when it got wet(!) Arnold watched the drips drop into the drain and tried to catch them before they went down the drain. He'd whack at the water with his paw then shake his paw vigorously when it got wet. Silly kitties!
Audrey-kitty has now had enough of watching me type and is curled up in a little ball on the 3-people couch. Arnold is behind me on the 2-people couch, also rolled up into a slightly-small ball. Audrey just gave a big sigh and it sounded like a little snore.
That's it from kitty-land! More tomorrow.

Damp Kitties Again
But not because of the bathtub...
They were so distraught that I'd closed their windows. It was raining for Pete's sake! But, being the kind-hearted person I am, I opened their dining room windows for them.
And they both quickly jumped up and sat in the window. They didn't care that it was raining. They didn't care that it was a bit chilly.
I noticed the effects of the rain when they jumped down and came over to visit and their sides were damp(!)

Why do the kitties have damp tummies?
Audrey came over to me while I was on the computer to visit. Her paws were damp and her tummy was damp. How could that be?
Well. I discovered the next morning... after my shower the kitties investigate the tub. They like to walk along the edge of the tub investigating. BUT, every once in a while somebody slips and slides into the tub, which gets their tummy quite damp and also scares them quite a bit.
Whoever it is LEAPS out of the tub and dashes out of the bathroom until they've recovered enough to go do it again.

Kitties Roam in the Bedroom
I was working on the computer when I heard a thump! and an Arnold-kitty growl. I got up in time to see my polka-spotted sweater disappear under the bed.
I was able to get it away but it took some persuading and lots of growling (from Arnold) before I was successful.
Meanwhile, Audrey-kitty was parked ever so comfortably on kb's green bathrobe, looking unbelievably adorable. (as usual)
They are VERY happy that I've been leaving their favorite windows open.
And both kitties curl up at night with me while I sleep. Heaven help me if I move, though...

Sleepy Kitties
I was working on my computer (in my room) and I just let the kitties roam around.
I was getting ready to shut down when I noticed Arnold-kitty on the bed beside me. He saw me and started just purring and purring. Very happy kitty.
But where was Audrey? I stood up and looked around and there she was --- parked on my little couch, on top of the red cua pillow. Completely parked on the pillow, no body parts touching anything else.
They were so cute I didn't want to move them.
But I did.

Kitty Check
I was working on the computer last night (in my room) and I finished late. I didn't hear anyone in my room but thought I'd do a kitty check anyway.
I found Arnold under my bed, next to a pink fuzzy sock and looking very sleepy.
But where was Audrey-kitty? I couldn't see her anywhere. Oh well, she must have gone downstairs.
So I went to wee --- and there she was! Asleep on the little orange towel/rug I have next to the tub.
Very cute.
