Crazy Kitties!

I was working on the computer this morning and two sweet kitties were parked with me.

I was sitting criss-cross-applesauce and Audrey-kitty was snuggled in my lap and Arnold was snuggled between my leg and my little couch in the bedroom. If I looked at him he got a little testy and acted like he was going to move. Sort of saying, "I'm not here... You don't see me..."

Audrey-kitty S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D and stretched herself right off my lap then mer-ed angrily at me. As it her falling off was my fault!

Not a great way to wake up

Poor Arnold!

We were all parking and napping on the couch. Audrey was parked on my chest and Arnold was all stretched out beside me - cradled between the back of the couch and my back.

Audrey mer-ed and stretched then turned around and sat back down... Right on Arnold's head!

He was so surprised that he sat up. Imagine what Audrey did next... she thought she was calmly sitting only to find out that something under her butt had raised her backside into the air! She LEAPED off the couch.

Poor Arnold was just sitting there, blinking sleepily, trying to figure out what just happened.

What's Arnold got NOW?!!

Imagine... it's the middle of the night and I'm fast asleep, minding my own business.

Arnold leaps onto the couch, behind my knees. "Oh how cute!", I think. "He's going to park with me!" Then he starts to play with something. You know how he plays with his sock? Sort of throwing it into the air and catching it? That's what he was doing.

This is kind of cute, but, really, I'd rather be sleeping. So I sit up to investigate what's going on. What do I see? Arnold has one of cb's Ouch Pouches. Yikes!

So I took it away and hid it under my blankets.

Arnold was very perplexed. "Where did it go???" He looked around, sniffed around, looked at me with sad eyes.

Then he hunkered down and went to sleep.

Kitties in the Printer

(I told you about this but it's so cute I thought I'd write it down)

I was printing a long document and Audrey, as usual, was fascinated by the whole process. She had her head in the printer, watching the paper come out. She jumps a little when the paper is released and pushed out but she likes to watch.

Arnold wondered what she was up to so he came over and stood on the other side of the printer. (you know how she parks right by the computer and looks into the printer from the left --- well, Arnold was standing by the right side) He stood on his back paws and perched his front paws on the table and watched a page print. When that page was finished and was pushed out he was so surprised that he jumped and threw himself backwards and right into the wall.

He seemed to be shaken up a little - I don't know if it was from the surprise of the printer or slamming into the wall... but then he recovered and watched the rest of the document print.

Kitties Go Mer

It seems that whenever I finally sit still somewhere some-kitty needs to park with me. This morning Arnold was mer-ing and mer-ing because I was doing stuff around the house and didn't really stop anywhere.

When I finally sat down to do some homework he was so happy --- he jumped up to be near me then hunkered down and purred and went right to sleep.

It was as if he was waiting for me to get settled before he could take a nap and he was getting annoyed at me!

My Broken Arm

Well, they did it again!

We were napping all together on the three-people couch and I was having a dream that my arm was broken and in a cast from wrist to elbow. I couldn't get anything done in my dream and it was so frustrating!

I woke up and it was Audrey-kitty stretched out and parked on me from hand to elbow(!)

Oh those kitties!

They are just so cute!

For the past two days they have been eating a big meal at breakfast, no snacks, then a big meal around 5 then a little snack around 9 or 10. They seem to be doing ok...

but you should hear Audrey-kitty right now! So sad! I think she wants her snack.

Other than that, we have not done anything that is very exciting. We just play with the cat-dancer, with Arnold's sock and sometimes with a block. They like to snuggle up with me at night. Arnold just leaps away when I roll over but then he comes back when I'm re-settled. Audrey still mers just a little bit but she's getting to be ok with me re-arranging myself.

Well, I'm off to give the kitties a snack then we're all off to bed.
